David’s House

A mother’s love never dies,
it is eternal and must be expressed in life and in death.      

This house is the expression of love from a mother
for her son who was murdered in 2001.

David is an extension of his mother’s devotion to truth.d

“I will not let the place where my son was killed
become an anonymous sidewalk like so many other places
where young men are murdered.”
 

Death is a process of beginning 
not a process of ending
In death we wake up from the dream.
 

This great impression of love was begun at the most horrific ending of a life.

“When David was murdered I saw a burst of color coming from the ground, going up the walls. I vowed that I would make this the most beautiful place that I could imagine. A reflection of love that will never die and today it lives on.  A beacon of light that can carry us through the darkness. A sacred ground, a holy place.”
