We have a daughter & 3 grands: 24, 23 & the youngest is 13. David was Italian with lovely olive skin that never burned. He had lung cancer. Was discovered in September 2021 when we’d gone to ER due to a sore throat. Stage 2….and yet surgery, chemo and proton radiation really did not prolong...

Wow!! Yes. We enjoyed country rides too. And rides to the beach. Had planned to take the hour and a half ride to the beach the morning he passed. He thought the salt air would help like it had in the past. Waves were forecast to be high and he wanted to see them. I had already found a beach...
