My thoughts and prayers to the Rocco family at this difficult time. We were neighbors oh-so long ago but the memories of those times are forever in my heart.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I remember David at school--especially helping him with the papers he wrote. David was truly a beautiful person. God hears our tears and reassures us that we are never alone during times like this.

My heart goes out to the Rocco Family, David and I were good friends, and although I left the Phoenix area years ago. I often thought about him and Asia. I will always remember how he was the life of the party and his creativity. Sincerely Patrick Arias
