David, We cannot believe it's been 1 yr
since you left this earth to begin a more peaceful journey with our Lord. Not a single day goes by without us thinking or talking about all the funny things that you and Bianca
use to do. Bianca just mentioned the other day when she got her new schedule for school that she promised that she was going to drive you everyday,I know that you will be watching over her like you have been doing, I know that you are always around because of the beautiful butterflies I see around our houses.
We all miss and love you so much , rest in peace you precious angel.Love Joe Joanne Bianca Botelho.

Dear Johanna & Brian,
It's so hard to believe 1 year is hear since God took David to heaven with the rest of his angels. I think of him and the 2 of you quite frequently. If there is ever a time when either of you would like to talk with me Please feel free to contact me anytime. My mom and I have moved from Rocky Hill and are now in Berlin. Forever in my thoughts and prayers.

It's hard to believe you left this earth almost a year ago. As I drive by your house almost everyday, you are in my thoughts. Sometimes the boys and I pray and sometimes we just talk about you simply knowing that you will forever be missed by many. I know you're an angel looking upon us and that someday we will be there to join you.

You are in my thoughts and prayers every day. And I can still remember our David wrestling with me at boy scouts, and his smile that could light up the world. He was a special boy that we all loved with all our hearts. I talk to him every night before I go to sleep, and I know he is still watching over both of you. God bless him, and God bless the two of you, one of the finest couples around.
With Love,

Jeffrey and David have gone thru so much together School, Cub Scouts, CCD & Sports. All these memories we will never forgot. We are so sorry for not being here for the funeral, but like you said there must have been a reason why. David finally got to go on his trip with Jeffrey. I'll alway remember when David called to speak to Jeffrey he was Always so Polite. You both raised an awesome kid. He will Always be our Angel.

Dear Johanna, Brian & Family,
No bond is greater than the bond between a parent and a child. I was so shocked and to this day find it hard to believe the loss of David. I remember when Brian's dad and I were in Mediplex of Wethersfield together a few years back, David would come in my room to say hello all the time. He was such a pleasant boy to spend time with and had a wonderful sense of humor. It just isn't fair although it'a Gods will in life but to have our loved ones taken from us especially when they are our children. Please know that my Heart goes out to you and your family. Please feel free to call me if there is something for me to help with, even if it's just to talk.
Sincerely,
Maria DiManno

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Words cannot express the sorrow we feel not only for your family, but all that knew and loved David. Tyler, my Grandson, was in Scouts and attended school with David, and that is where we would meet and talk about the boys. Tyler came home from his first day of school today and told me about David's passing. We talked about David, and how he is at peace now, but we also talked about feelings we have when someone we know passes away, especially someone so young. What I will always keep with me, is the loving family I saw when you were together. Again, words are not enough. May God Bless you and yours.

Essence
Brief moments
Of an abrupt severance.
Echoes
Of childish laughter,
Of untainted love,
Of innocent unfulfilled dreams
Of a promising tomorrow.
Your flight
Came to a sudden stop
Just as it soared
And the wings of a
Promising adolescent
Where exchanged
with those of an Angel;
a bright luminous Angel!
Your brief, borrowed stay
A visit from the Heavens
Taught us all love and bravery;
A waterfall of kindness
That kept flowing from your heart.
Borrowed was your stay
Among us,
One of God’s missions
For His special Angels!
Your footsteps,
Your laughter,
Your smile,
Your heartbeat,
May no longer be felt on earth
But your indelible essence
Will linger forever
In our withered hearts

Johanna and Brian,
I was saddened to hear the news that David had passed while I was out of town. May you cherish the fond memories you all created together and remember how he brought a smile to everyone he touched. He truly was an angel sent by God, his smile was contagious, I know he is smiling down on you, because he knows he had the most supportive loving parents every child needs and wants.
Please lean on those around you in the days to come, we are here for you. My prayers are with you both.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Dolge, You know that I am very sorry for this situation and I know I may have done something to help david recover a little bit but I know I could have done a lot more then I did. But because of this, I know David is going to be watching me the rest of my life and everytime I'm doing something that he would have done also like soccer, baseball, school, for whatever the situation i will promise to work twice as hard because if i don't I'm going to get yelled at =). So don't worry david, the rest of my life is going to be yours too because you will definetly be in it, even if it is just spiritually, you will always be there because I will never forget the time my best friend had passed. My deepest condolences,
LOVE, jeffrey

Dear Johanna & Brian,
We just heard the very sad news about David and cannot begin to express to you how very sorry we are for his loss. David was truly a remarkable child - bright, kind, thoughtful, brave, full of life, fun and laughter and a true friend to have. In his far too short time on Earth, he touched so many people in a very special way. What stands out in all of my memories of David is his energy for life and that wonderful infectious smile of his. We will miss David dearly and he will remain in our hearts always. It's no surprise at all how special David was with two such wonderful, loving, devoted parents and extended family. I know how much you love David and can't imagine how you must be feeling now and with all that you have been through this past year. I wish there was something we could do or say to help ease your pain. Our hearts go out to both of you as you try to find the strength to deal with the unimaginable loss of your beautiful angel. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love,
Bruce Catania

I just heard the news about David and I was utterly shocked at what had happened. David was one of my best friends since the 2nd grade. I remember us playing soccer in elementary school at recess. At Silas Deane I saw him a few times and said hi, but I never saw him much through the year and that is the thing I regret the most. I know David will always be in my heart, but that may not be good enough for me. I hope David is in a better place and I will never forget him.

Dear Johanna and Brian,
No words can express how much David meant to us. He truly was an amazing kid. He had such a strong personality, and we will forever miss that contageous smile. We truly believe that he was an angel, sent to Earth to help us all. And that he did. He has changed all of our lives, in the best ways. We loved him (and still do) like a part of our family.
We will always rememeber his sense of humor and passion for telling sports stories in the middle of Italian class. Of course, he will always be a member of our group, no matter what. We could just go on forever about what a wonderful person he was. He is missed so much , and thought about constantly. We pray for both (Johanna and Brian) for your courage, strength, and love has shown throughout this whole tragedy. We miss you very much and will always be here for you.
David is now in the hands of GOD, the happiest place he could be.
God Bless you both, and your wonderful angel, now watching over you.
Love, the Peters

Johanna and Brian, my heart felt sympathies are with you and your family. I remember speaking to Johanna in March of this year as I was looking for parent volunteers for an event I had organized. Rather than discussing school business, Johanna talked to me about her brave son David. My son and hers were in the same team at SDMS. We just started talking about our boys like all proud mothers do. We finally ended our conversation and I recall thinking to myself, what a strong woman Johanna was being able to talk to a stranger about her son. I heard the love in her voice and the pride she had for how hard David was working in spite of all he was going through. From that day forward I kept this family in my prayers and my heart. I will continue to keep them in my prayers in this time of sorrow. May God grant you and your family peace

As a parent I ache for you over your unfathomable loss of David, who I am sure was the light of your life. As a colleague of Johanna's in the child support world where we hear far too many stories about children who are shunned by their parents, I celebrate David as a lucky boy to have been so loved and cherished by his parents and his extended family. It is not how long the flower blooms, but how beautifully. David was fully alive, beautifully alive for thirteen years. What a gift. Blessed be.

I am glad to hear that David-e enjoyed his singing balloon and I'm sorry that we never stopped by with Maggie. He was like a little brother to me, the little brother that I never had. He always made those long practices so much fun and he was a great partner. Through all of this he never lost that spunk and smile. He had an incredible 13 years of life thanks to you (Brian and Johanna). The two of you have given myself and so many others strength through all of this. Thank you for letting me be a part of his life. I hope you and David-e what a huge part of my life he has been and always will be. My prayers are with you and your family. I love you David-e... my lil-bro <3

David was a great person. We went to school with him for seven years and never did we see him without a glowing smile. He was always helping everyone out. He was bright, always tried his best at everything, and got along with absolutely everyone that came along.
Roberta Giel - David was an amazing person and I can't even explain how I felt when I heard the news of what happened. I remember when I was in the 5th grade. We were in these after school Italian classes together and in those Italian classes, there were shows that we had to do. For the second show, he was one of my dance partners and all I can remember is us practicing and how we would step on each others feet. Then in 6th grade, we were having a social to make ginger bread houses. The only problem was that we didnt have enough milk cartons to do them. So David and a bunch of other kids (including me) took cartons with expired milk in them and started empting them out, but for some reason David was drinking some of the expired milk. I told him to just empty them out in the sinks and he said "It's not good to waste milk." I will never forget those memories. Once again, David was an amazing person and I will cherish those memories that I had with him.
Kirsten Moore: I never really knew David that well, but I knew that he was just so nice. He was in my spanish class and I remember the first day he was out of school. Everyone kept asking our spanish teacher where David was, and she would just reply with a simple, "he's out." That really didn't answer any of our questions. But soon we found out what really happened. I was at lunch, and someone had told me what had happend to him. I was just in shock, and I remember Jay, almost in tears, and everyone saying, "That can't be true!" But sadly it was. He will be greatly missed by everyone.
"I rejoiced with those who said to me 'Let us go to the house of the Lord.'" Psalm 122 verse 1
Although David will be missed here on Earth, there, in the house of the Lord, he will be happy and will no longer suffer.
David, you'll live on in our hearts, and will never be forgotten. We'll miss you!

David was a very good freind. He always had this amazing spark in him, that would always make you smile. He was the kind of person you would always turn to, for any sort of problem you may have. He was always prepared to take up a challenge, and would put others before him. He was a caring, smart, had a great sence of humor, and best of all, was a great freind. He was one in a million.
He will not be forgotten.

God bless you.

As I try to put some understanding as to how GOD can give such a beautiful gift, then to take it away. The only thing that I can come up with is that he too had to give up his son JESUS. I am also reminded that we are all children of GOD. Just as we are excited for our child's arrival, GOD is also excited and waiting for our arrival. Because he knows that we will be with him in his Kingdom forever. You will see David again. Johanna & Brian the only strength you find is in GOD.

We understand, our son Jensen died in 2003 at CCMC, he was six. Our children are the light of our hearts and when we are left to grieve them we feel so overwhelmed with our emotions, please know you are not. There are many of us to walk with you if you ever need. David will be your first thought with every sunrise and your last with each sunset.The joy he brought to fill your heart will again help you to smile. During this time hold each other close and we will hold you in our prayers.

Dear Johanna, Brian, and family,
I am truly sorry for your loss, so much so that I am at a loss for words. In these rare instances, I take some comfort in the writings of others. I hope you will too.
"It is still so new & all we see is the empty space, but that is not how it is in the landscape of the heart. There, there is no empty space & he still laughs & grapples with ideas & plans & nods wisely with each of us in turn. We are proud to have known him. We are proud to have called him friend." (StoryPeople)
David was a gentle soul who will be greatly missed. Although his passing was premature, the special memories you have of him are forever. May those memories live in your hearts.
Sincerely,
Rosemary Aiello and family
