Saiyood-
I was sorry to learn of David's recent passing. My cousin, Donna Northover, texted me the obituary the afternoon of the wake but I could not make the services. Please accept my condolences. David was a very kind, caring guy. He passed away too young.

My deepest condolences to the Covello family for your loss. As teenagers growing up on Sunderland Road, Dave was always a true friend to me. We lost touch but managed to see one another at the supermarket at times. Dave would light up when talking about his family when we caught up. I am so sorry to the Covello family for your loss. Dave, you will be sadly missed.

Covello Family - I am so sorry to hear about David's sudden passing. Nobody knows what you are going through so I hope words are comforting and blessings are appropriate for you at this time. This is not good bye. He will still walk with us but without pain and any suffering he may have had. Facing the loss of a brother is devastating but hopefully, knowing that you will someday meet again, can warm your broken heart. I send you my hugs and kisses - Op, Tony and Ella. I give my sympathies and pray that these next days are easy on you. Love you with all my heart, Maxine
