Thinking of you today David. I can't believe it has been almost 10 years. Missing you like it was just yesterday. Rest on my dear friend.

June 3, 2015

I miss you greatly my friend. It is hard to believe that one year has passed since you peacefully went to sleep. Even though you're not here physically, I know that you are here in the spirit and when I walk that stage to accept my Associates Degree, I know that you will be right beside me!
As I told you in life, I shall repeat the same words now that your are gone that "I love you". You were truly my friend and "college" husband (as our Honors classmates would call us). I saw many flashes of lightening in the sky this week, I know that was you David, taking your famous "selfies".

Love everlasting,
D'Chen "Sunshine" Bolden

To the Arnold family, let me first start off by saying you all have my deepest condolences. I met David in the fall of 2013 in the Honors program at CCP, it was a joy to be blessed with his presence, from the moment I met him he brought nothing but joy into my life. When I was going through a hard time David told me to pick my head up and keep pushing through it because God had better things in store for me. I cannot count how many times me, David and D'Chén would be in the hallway taking pictures... I love David unconditionally I am so sad to see him go, before he left Philadelphia I went to the hospital to see him and I'm glad I did because I was able to let him know I loved him face to face, words cannot explain the pain I feel and know his family must feel, however heaven has an angel now.....I love you David

Upon hearing of David's passing, i instantly felt a loss. We met at the Community College of Philadelphia and have been double trouble every since. The Honors classes we were enrolled in couldnt keep us from talking & taking selfies! Im glad i got to speak to my friend before he left Philly and went back home to florida as well as once a week while he was in the hospital. I will miss your smile my friend & the good times we shated. Most of all, I will ALWAYS remember that you called me "sunshine" & would start singing " i got sunshine on a cloudy day"everytime i called...your resting comfortably now, David...Sleep tight my friend...
