To Ann, the Donatello family and all of David's loved ones.
I was so sorry to learn of David's passing, my thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. I hope the memories of all the joy, laughter and love he brought you, and knowing he is at peace will bring some comfort to you.
With sympathy, JoLynne Grillo

Nature
As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we know.
By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
