Hi all.
I thought I would start a thread just for thoughts, prayers, and any words of comfort for the loved ones of David Bassett, especially Lucinda and her famly.

She has been there for me during my own times of personal loss and now it's time we return tha favor.

Lucinda,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I just listened to the "I will be there for you" CD and I thought, "David reminds me so much of my boyfriend Michael, so easy going and supportive".
He was. I feel as if I knew him myself just by your stories that you shared on the cd's.

May Sammy and Britney get through this very hard time as well.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all!

Lisa

Also, this is from the Obituary Section in the Port Clinton Newspaper


David Bassett, 53, passed away on June 7, 2008.
David was born in Port Clinton on September 28, 1954 to Richard and Dorothy (Dewey) Bassett. In 1983, he married Lucinda Reddick.

David approached life with a fearless, take-no-prisoners attitude that won him many friends over the years. He spread enthusiasm throughout his life, living in places as diverse as Oak Harbor, Ohio; Jackson Hole, Wyoming; and Malibu, California. He was a cook, snowboarder, Buckeye fan, businessman, motorcyclist, and devoted father to his and Lucinda's two children, Brittany and Sammy. His sense of humor and fun was legendary, and almost anyone who met him has a "David story" to tell. David was a 1976 graduate of the Ohio State University, with a degree in Horticulture from the College of Agriculture.

David is survived by his wife, Lucinda, his children, Brittany and Sammy, his parents, Richard and Dorothy, and a brother, Mike (Debbi) Bassett. A sister, Jody (Tom) Stoyan, preceded him in death.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Lucinda and David's family. This is a sad situation. Remember your faith in god and Do not underestimate the value of your prayers. The Bible says: "A righteous man's supplication . . . has much force." (James 5:16)

We are here when you need us. Lucinda, you and your program have been a god-sent to all of us and we are here to return the favor.

God Bless.

Dear Lucinda And Family,
Please accept our deepest sympathy in your time of loss. Your program has literally saved me and I can only offer my thoughts and prayers for you! Have faith that David is at peace and in the Best Of Company, The Lord our God is taking very good care of him. Bless you and all your family.

To Lucinda,Brittany,Sammy I am so sorry for your loss. My love, and prayers go out to you and everyone who is suffering because of this tragedy. God bless you always.

What a gift Lucinda Bassett is to so many of us. My heart goes out to her and her children. My whole being just ached when I read the post this morning about his passing. Times like this I can never think of what to say, but I certainly do feel enormous compassion for this family. God Bless.

To the Bassette Family
My sincerest condolences on the recent loss of such a special person- a husband, father, son and brother. My God give you comfort and peace during such a difficult time. God Bless.

Dear Lucinda,

I wish peace for you and your family and I am praying for all of you. God is bigger than all of the sorrow and pain and he is with you during this time. Hold on to your faith and keep the happy memories of David with you.

"There are three things that remain - faith, hope, and love - and the greatest of these is love."
1 Corinthians 13:13

Dear Lucinda, family and everyone at the MWC,

My deepest sympathies with the loss of a great man. I hope you find comfort in the life he chose to live, the people he inspired to be greater and the legacy of hope that will carry on forever.

Sincerely,

Dear Lucinda:

I am so sorry to hear about David. We really do feel that we got to know you and your family so well with these sessions. You have allowed us into your heart and in your family with your stories and that is what makes your program so successful for us. You and your family are real and you have shared so much with us. Thank you...and I accept my sincere sympathy for your pain and your children's pain. I will keep you all in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Lynn

I am so sorry to Lucinda and her family for their loss. They will be in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless them.

Lucinda and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I can not say I know how you feel, because everyone "feels" in different ways ~ but I am able to know your pain. You and your program was who I turned to at the time of my grief. You have to know that you have helped so many in their times of difficulty, whether it be grief, anxiety or depression...and now it is our time to be there for you ~ the only way we know how ~ through prayer.

When I was dealing with my beautiful grandson's tragic death, I read something that helped me a lot and I have it posted many places just to remind me. It says,
"The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you."
May the peace of God which passes all understanding, bless and keep you, and may He always hold you in the palm of his hand.
Love and prayers, Judy
