Yes, the sad news is true. Dave has unexpectedly died on 27th of October 2006.
I have phoned Patsy twice. She is very sad and feels very lonely.
A gathering with the close family and friends is planned next Friday at the cemetery.
The family has no money for a proper funeral so the coffin will probably just be placed in the earth.
Bahama Kin,
Thank you for your kind words. I will print them for Patsy and give them to her. I'm sure she will appreciate them.
If anyone has something he or she wants to say to Patsy, you can send them to me. I'll make sure she gets your message.
My prayers are with Patsy, and the kids Richard and Michael that they may find the strength to stand through this hard times and one day go on with their lives.
Kind regards,
Liesbet Lanssens

forever times twice
Harsh realities, My spirit cries and mourns,
It comes to this that a sad sad day arrives.
The wicked winds of night, took my best friend away
My partner in the race against time to be heard & known.
He who listened to me and believed in me, took my advice
And visa-versa I believed in him and the joy
Grew as big as the universe itself.
untouchable happiness in song and words
forever times twice
Like a reaper in the night, the book slowly closed
Yet remains open for eternity alive in songs and memories
To have known you were respected and loved
To have shared dreams, to know someone really cared
The Power of God only knows, that it happened way to soon
By the light of Jesus Christ, Lighted the way to peace
My words only reflect the feelings, as the lonely day arrived
Ohh but least he knew of me, and least i knew of him
We laughed and cried, and braved the wicked winds
Against the odds we tried, and somehow the compassion echoed
fragile and brave, ohh how the music expands through time
The memories of Dave Adrian, Running rivers through my mind
It's raining in my head, thunder roars in my ears
nothing was ever so close as the souls who dared to try
Solid as a stone with the sleet about to pour
My weeping eats my thoughts, Yet i know he wanted peace
Peace from war and pain, just trying to survive,
On a mean mean wicked world,
On the streets for his children and wife
A few who healed the wounds of time
forever times twice
Let the music and the experience, be the start of whats to be
The tides have washed the sands, as the holy water pours
Why sometimes we only know, if we try to understand it all
To a chosen few the answer comes so easy, to you all
A new day breaks, the memories come to life
In the sound of your voice, the music lives forever
nothing ever done in vain, It's sad to lose a friend
A father, a mother, a son, a daughter, a wife
forever times twice
somehow I feel your presence in the tilting of my head
a vision of pure white wings flying slowly towards the sky
Released like a dove from a wicked place called life
But beauty is alive if you understand that time is ever moving on
For Patsy & the Children of Dave Adrian who has died
i'll always be here for you. forever times twice.
Bahama Kin
