Oh, my dear David, Petunia´s stationery is no longer applicable. I had to have her put down on 11-9-24 I know we would be laughing at the fact of 3K later that evening , she ended up having to have her put down. No cheap way out for any of my dogs She was having respiratory issues. I remember how sad you were when Winston had to be put down and I comforted you. I surely could use your sweet words about now. Kinda getting hard with everyone I love checking out
I find comfort in U2´s "Sleep Like a Baby Tonight " like we said to each other as we would hang up the phone. You finally are getting that good sleep and so is Petunia and I have Alexa set to play that song every night at 10pm and wake up to Gino´s People Gotta Move. I miss you more than words can say and I will never let the memory of you fade away.
Sleep like a Baby Tonight, my sweet Davide. Kitty

"Why the birds go on singing, why do the stars shine above?"
"I can´t understand how life goes on the way it is. Why do these eyes of mine cry, why does my heart go on beating?"
" don´t they know it´s the end of the world it ended when I lost my sweet friend". Missing you like crazy

David was one of a kind. I was blessed to have known him since he was 8 years old. We used to play hot wheels, jump on the hay bales in the barn, ride on the Honda mini trail, and swim when we were younger.

As we got older, it turned into trips to New Orleans, concerts, and lots of fine dining. David absolutely loved “Powerful People” album by Gino Vannelli. We saw Gino so many times. The best being a concert in New Orleans.

David was so talented. I don’t think there was anything he couldn’t do.

If people really knew how much I miss him, they would wonder how I’m still breathing.

David was more than a friend. He was family. Such an energetic, hilarious, stand up
guy, who was a superb chef. I´m gonna miss your carrot cake and jambalaya. But most of all, you.

I don´t know what I´m going to do without my sweet, beautiful David. I´ve loved you for so long and we´ve had so many awesome times; it´s going to be hard. I will miss your laugh and calling me child. And your phone ring sound " Theme from Friends ". I´m going to leave it in my contacts so feel free to still give me a buzz every now and then "goodbye don´t mean you´re gone".
I´m so glad I got to tell you I love you and give you a kiss before you left this world.
Your forever friend
