Clair, Debbie and Sharon please accept my heartfelt and sincere condolences. I have so many fond memories of David (you, too, Clair). One of the most meaningful to me, and my family, was when David bought my sons, Jason and Joey, suits, ties and shoes so they'd have proper clothes to wear at my mom's funeral (she also died very suddenly). The second memory was when David was just starting his freshman year at the University of Rochester. He would come to our house once a week for homecooked meals. And for my 7th birthday he took me to see "Love Me Tender" which was my idol's first movie & he gave me an autographed photo of Elvis Presley. I have no idea where he got it but I loved it! Sadly, it was lost in a fire when I was 13. Still,I will hold that memory in my heart forever. I recall many trips to Amsterdarn (as my father insisted we call it since 'dam' was considered inappropriate for me and my brother). And I remember one time, after an ice storm, our car couldn't make it up the steep hill to Uncle Hy and Aunt Vera's home so we left the car parked at the bottom and David and my Uncle helped us all scale the incline so we could spend the weekend with them.
There's an old Hebrew proverb that states: "Say not in grief 'he is no more' but live in thankfulness that he was." May all of you value happier times and treasure precious memories of David - your husband, father, grandfather, friend, etc.. When sorrows overcome us it hides all hope and happiness from sight. But remember where there are shadows there must also be light.
With sympathy,
Doreen (Gordon) Ferraro
