Dear Silvia and Anthony,

I am very sorry to hear of Dave's passing. Brett and I have fond memories of working with him last summer in Mexico. We spent a lot time together extending the wall at the orphanage. I was very impressed with his role model to the kids, his determination and skill of his work. This is a very difficult time for you and your son. Although every situation is different, I can understand what you are going through. I lost my wife of 27 years almost two years ago, Brett also lost his mother at age 13. It sounds like you have a great support system with your family and church, that is very important at this time. It's what helped me the most. Please let me know if I can offer any advice on the challenges you are facing in the next few weeks and months.

Dearest Sylvia and Anthony,

I will always remember Dave's quiet, deep faith in God, his love for his family, and his love for other people. He was a favorite of mine because he liked to play games. The day of Michael McFarland's wedding will always stick in my mind as you and 14 or 15 other people spread throughout the house looking for places to sleep. Any time spent with Dave and you has always been a pleasure. I believe God has a very special place for those who can deal with high schoolers, and from what I hear, they loved him to pieces.

My heart aches for your loss, Sylvia, and for the pain you are enduring. At a very bad time in my life, Psalm 3:5 "I laid myself down and slept. I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me." has been a comfort. My prayer is that God comforts you in a very personal way and shows you His love by the mountainsfull. Know that we love you and share in your sorrow.

Always,

Marty & Ray

Our deepest love and sympathy to Sylvia and Anthony, as well as Giuseppe, Letizia and all of the extended family. It is hard to understand why this was God's will; but our ultimate comfort is knowing that God does indeed love us, so much that he sacrificed his own son -- may your faith see you through this painful and difficult time.

Words cannot express my sorrow and sadness in hearing the shocking news of David's passing. My heart aches for Silvia and Anthony, my Auntie Cesarina, and my cousins Vince, Danny, and their families. It is a harsh reality that our time here is limited, and that he was called to heaven so young. It must be true that God takes the good young, because he was a good man in every sense of the word. I am too emotional to express my feelings, and get through thoughts in front of many grieving family members tomorrow, I don't think I am going to fare well at the service, as the tears flow at the thought of the reality of what we are gathering for. So I have decided to leave my thoughts and memories of David here to share with family and friends. David is my second cousin, and his parents, my Auntie Cesarina and Uncle Dino are my godparents. My mom and dad told me that not only did they choose my Auntie Cesarina and Uncle Dino because they loved them and thought highly of them as people, but because they had three boys and they thought it would be nice to make me their god"daughter". Love that! David has always been large in stature. There is no denying that. But, he was huge in presence as well...I have so many memories of David~family gatherings,childhood memories, childhood games~hide and seek,tag, conversations, going to Great America in his Trans Am, he was a jokester and prankster, his deep voice and outwardly laugh, and his great BIG hugs. And though we didn't spend a whole lot of time together in our adult life, I looked forward to seeing him at family gatherings~weddings, birthday party's, etc. Always greeted with a BIG hug, and happy face. Always interested in hearing about what was going on in my life, and eager to share what was going on in his. Most of our conversations revolved around the kids~school, activities, etc. He was very proud of Anthony. A Great Dad. And though I will miss our conversations, his presence, face, and hugs...I will hold him in my heart until we meet again. I am sure he will be there to greet me with a big smile and a hug, and my Uncle Dino sitting next to him singing me the ice cream song...

With Love Always,

Richele
