Dear Elaine:

I knew David since High School. He was a good friend and his heart was always present in those many difficult moments to provide the support of the "family" he was to me then. Like the Rabbi said, those are the moments one remembers, and the good times. My heartfelt sympathy to you and the family. We will remember him always.
