To the Cohen family: Please receive my most sincere condolences for David's passing. We met him in Rio de Janeiro through Judy, my husband's best friend...(my wonderful husband Thomas Barnett passed two years ago here in Texas.) We had David over to a Samba party at our home in Rio. We enjoyed his company so much. I'm saddened by your loss...and am thinking he and Tom are conversing in heaven.
My prayers are with all of you, because David is already safe with our Master...Be strong. Many Blessings! Maria Barnett, Kerrville, Texas
