I was heartbroken to learn of David´s passing. He always knew how to make me laugh, and our time together made me love my work even more. His warmth and humor brought joy to my days, and I will forever cherish those moments. Please accept my deepest condolences. My thoughts are your family. - Zarely Rivera (Sara)
