After 5 years of limited posts and focused direction of the Damon M Lewandowski Foundation, we are about to move forward with the articles of incorporation and mission of the foundations purpose. Come back on March 27, 2016 for a formal announcement and further details for participation.

08/19/2015

I have spent the past four years processing life and healing after Damon's death and have thought long and hard to come up with a few ideas for the foundation with anticipation of having everything complete by 3/27/2016 to mark the 5 year anniversary of his death. Once I discuss them with Doreen and Alyssa, we will make a formal announcement with all the necessary details. One involves the input and help from all of you. We will be in touch soon. Thank you to each and every one of you whom have joined the foundation. Damon Truly was a gift to have had as a son and friend. I miss him every day and know he looks after each and every one of you.

Best regards,

Frank Lewandowski

In Loving Memory of My Son ... I've Channeled My Pain Into Something Positive And Created a Wellness Center To Alleviate The Stress & Pain Of Those Seeking Treatment ...

My Dearest Damon,

Where do we begin to fill the voids in our lives that we've been robbed of the pleasure of having since you have gone. Your Mother, Alyssa and I have talked much about how life without you will never be the same. You are deeply missed by everyone.

I continue still today to cry out to our Lord and asked him, "Why have you taken my beloved Son?". It is hard to believe that two years have passed since I received what I thought to be a fund raising campaign phone call from the Delaware State Police. Instead it was a parent's worst nightmare and still haunts me to this day. The conversation rapidly turned into bewilderment to the questions the officer was strategically asking. "How are you? ... I'm fine, thank you. Where are you?, I'm home, at my sister's house. Are you alone? No, my sister and brother-in-law are here. I can't tell you how many times since I've let the phone ring and ring an not be able to pick it up.

Over the past two years, family and friends have tightly woven like the entwined branches of a vine, to become a unified pillar of strength to deal with your sudden departure. Like the blossoming grapevines of Spring that by Fall yield a rich harvest of a variety of grapes, we too cluster like the bunches of fruit with each grape reflecting a story of you from our many gatherings. It appears to be when we all feel the most connected to you.

Unfortunately, there are many random days alone that are difficult to cope with because in that solitude, sadness floods our hearts with the reality that no future memories or stories will ever come to be. It's also difficult to watch and comprehend when a younger cousin has surpassed your age, finished school and started his or her career.

Instead of our new memories, we share those that have brought joy and smiles to our faces. I personally will sadly miss that single kiss to my cheek and beautiful smile when you arrived to visit. The many missed weekends of relaxing by the fire or pool and talking about family, life, and mainly food. Initially, it was dealt with by just thinking you were just busy until too much time had passed to trick the mind any longer.

Celebrating birthdays are no longer joyous to me for they are just a reminder that yours stopped so abruptly at the age of only 22. Your traditional birthday celebration of fine dining instead has become a visit to your place of rest these past few years. We spend each each holiday forcing a smile on our faces when the only thing that would is having you walk through the door. We lost the opportunity of watching you graduate from The Restaurant School and the many missed memories of sitting at your restaurant and helping you enjoy and refine your dreams. We'll miss you and the love of your life marry, buy a home, and start a family. And sadly, the legacy of our family name, Lewandowski, will no longer be when you come to greet me one day.

The pain I feel for losing you Son is constant, and I know it will follow me through every day I walk this earth. In order to be productive and function again in society, you showed me that the pain needed to be channeled into something positive. I know you are instrumental in directing me the past two years. From meeting Nicholas, to going back to school, and to now what will be a new chapter in my life that will bring our family much joy. I also no you are proud of me because I've channeled your energy and have felt your presence and know you are right by our sides to ensure we become all that we are meant to be. This next chapter will be a reminder to all that knew you and those who will come to know of you that we all have choices in choosing our bliss paths.

Your message to everyone is, "Find that which will bring you fulfillment and purpose. Stop feeling sorry for ourselves or pity ourselves which only digs us deeper into a trench of remorse, guilt, and any negative emotion that keeps us away from following our dreams. Damon wants nothing more than to see each of us that is currently struggling with heartache to channel it into something of purpose. Something synonymous with the values that he stood for and the free spirited love of life that he vibrantly filled a room with within minutes while he was alive.

Damon taught me that the only way to truly overcome such a devastating blow is to channel the pain into something that enriches the lives of others. Something that places a smile on someone else's face or alleviates the pain of those who are finding life challenging, unbearable, and/or are physically or mentally transfixed on negativity. What my son has helped me accomplish will follow momentarily .... He wants you to channel yours ... He wants you to remain completely open and never doubt that which you can't comprehend. Finally, my words of advice are just that ... ask him for guidance and allow yourself to trust in that which you may not fully understand. Anything is possible. Truly, anything.

Damon ... thank you for all you have done to make this happen. I know I couldn't have done it without your help. I miss you dearly and know one day you will be there to greet me with a kiss to my cheek and that beautiful smile I do so miss.

Your loving Father XoXoXo

Hello Family & Friends

I talk with my son everyday. Asking him to watch over his family. Guide those who may be stumbling, and simply just reminisce about shared times and happy events. I'm just curious if any one has any stories there care to share whether while Damon was here or since he crossed over that has influenced you in a positive light. In the coming weeks, I'll share some personal stories that I know beyond a shadow of a doubt was my son doing good deeds to make sure his family remained happy and at peace. I miss him more today than ever and tomorrow even more. I love you. Dad

"YOUR SMILE"
05.24.88 : 03:27:11
DEDICATED BY YOUR FATHER

DEAREST SON ....

Sleep well my Son, watch over us please, for our days are as dark as our nights, We can’t see you, but we feel you, “Will you please turn on the lights”? The darkness masks your smiling face, and the way you lit the room, Please illuminate the skies, and rekindle our hearts, for it will never be too soon.
How we long to see, just a glimpse of you, to remove our doubt and sorrow, That you are resting well, and content with all, you had left until tomorrow. Are the star filled skies your wandering eyes, to ensure that we are well, Is the gentle rain your tears of joy, we miss you, please do tell.
Did you tire of life, I doubt it so, for you loved and treasured your days, What twist of fate, what possible cause, would entice your focused ways. Did God ask for you, and your beloved heart, to help these troubled times? What strength you have, what love you give, so selfless, so sublime.
Watch over your Mother, and dearest Alyssa, and please do comfort your friends, Protect them, support them, love them, and guide them, until time’s bitter end. Let the change of Seasons reflect, your smile, your contentment, and your strife Use the sun, use the moon, use the rain, use the snow to remind us of your life.
I miss you Son, but I’ll see you soon, for your light from Heaven does shine, I see your rays, and I feel your warmth, and embrace your love that’s mine. For time is but a mere illusion, just a cruel and lengthened journey, For you have never gone, your by my side, please stay with me an eternity.

You made me so proud to be your Father ....
I Love You, Dad
