David M. Coticchio

I will never forget the conversation we had about how some people in life are just born leaders. Dave you were a true leader and a great person that will never be forgotten. God Bless!

Loving you has always been the easy part. Missing you is much harder. Two years. Wow. Life keeps moving ahead. How many times have I said "oh I gotta tell Dave about this" or "I gotta call him" or "I wish Dave were here" probably more than I can count. There is this bird that keeps coming around the back deck through all the seasons and I started talking to him as if he is you. Talking to that bird gives me comfort. I give him all the news of what's going on in my life. He keeps...

Today marks the 2nd year that we are without you. 2 years of sorrow without you, anger because you were taken, and memories of you, laughter included...you would be proud of Gina, who is strong, intelligent and above all, a beautiful young lady... I hope you are at peace in heaven,knowing that we are doing okay. I know that you are missed by many... and wish that you could be here just for one more laugh, kiss, hug, joke, prank,story, and all of the other things that we all miss about...

Monday will mark two years of you being taken away from us. I'll never forget that day just like I'll never forget you. Life has not been the same since you were taken from your family, and I cannot bring myself to write something on that day because it's too close to home, but I was doing homework and I looked up at the picture I have of you and Aunt Dianne on my wall and "Tears In Heaven" happened to come onto my itunes and I simply lost it. I miss you so much and I know that you would be...

I came across this journal by accident, however, there must be a reason. I recently lost another friend. In so many ways he reminded me of Dave. Kind, compassionate, family oriented, etc, I could go on for hours. But when I think about Dave I remember the many parties and barbecues at his mom and dad's home. These are some of my happiest memories of him. Listening to stories that he and Sarah would share about their childhood was hilarious...although not always to their dad!!! He had a...

Missing Dave so much .. .especially this time of year.... gina's birthday is coming up and of course the holidays, which is never easy to handle... Dave loved all of it and it is so sad that he is not here to see his daughter growing up into a nice young lady who is smart and so much like her father in many ways... I think of you everyday of my life Dave and wonder what you are seeing from up there... and hoping that you are watching over all of us.. knowing that we love you so very much......
