David, I am so very sad we have lost you, i will miss you so especially at Christmas. It was always so much fun to talk food network and celebrity gossip You always had a way of making me feel special even when I did not feel good about myself. I will see you again someday so that gives me some comfort. I hope your Mom can take comfort in knowing she will be with you again because I have to believe there is somewhere beautiful that we all meet after our lives here on earth. I loved you David you were a special soul and you are going to be missed by many people.Love, Aunt Jill

David, we always touched base around this time of year and my birthday, June 9th. You always remembered my birthday with a phone call and card, addressing me as "Alice Jane", which you always did so affectionately. You are the only one who still used my middle name. My husband Andrew had been after me last week and the week before, to contact you to find an address to mail our holiday card. I emailed you at an address I had and it bounced back, I never did get to that phone call and was certainly cut short in my efforts when on Monday I received a phone call from your dear mother. I knew it had to be bad news. I was so blindsided, you seemed more reclusive when we spoke, but I assumed that it was becasue you were putting your heart and soul into building your "dream" home and that it left little time for socializing. Always the perfectionist, it worked to your detriment as well. I cannot understand why you gave up on life. It makes me so sad. We celebrated your 21st birthday together in LA and my 30th! I met you when I was 29 years old, living next door to you and Ben, with my friends Daryl and JD. You and Ben split up, eventually Daryl and JD split up, however my long lasting friendship with both you and Daryl have always been so special. It was because of you that I felt I could leave my family, friends and apartment in NYC to pursue my acting career in LA, I had someone to room with in a strange city and I knew you were going to be my new dear friend. I remember when you picked me up from the airport upon my arrival, with all of my luggage! We went to dinner at the French market in West Hollywood, the first of my many cobb salads there, it was a culture shock! Our food shopping excursions at Gay Fair, we affectionaltey dubbed the supermarket up the street from our Kings Road apartment. We shared so many times, we did so much together, Coronado in San Diego for our first Thanksgiving, Valentines Day with that Burt Reynolds movie, "Best Friends", you loved to cook. We loved our meals in and we loved our meals out at great restaurants. We shared our friends and became one mutual circle. The guys I dated all knew you well and knew that you and I were a team, you were my VBF! Your fascination with Barbra always intrigued me and drove you to distraction. I remember when you and Joe went through her garbage! We spent time with Shirley and John on another trip to San Diego and I know that she and your grandmother, her mother, were the loves of your life! I am so glad that you got to meet my husband Andrew and were at our wedding in NJ in 1996! I am so sorry that your plans to come to my 50th did not come to fruition. We lost touch, but not heart! Shirley and John were always so good to you. My condolences to the entire family. To Shirley and your grandmother, I cannot imagine their pain, you upset the natural order of things. I wish I could have one last conversation with you. I already miss my parents so much when my birthday roles around and there is not card from them and now I am adding you to that list. My birthday will be sad for the absence of those loved ones who made my day all the more special with their loving wishes. I hope you find peace wherever the next journey takes you. Love, Alice Jane Tell

To my dearest friend David, You mean, have meant, and always will mean so much to me. I have never had a friend with whom I could share so much. I will never forget how our friendship began in 2006 when I was putting together the Streisand Legacy Exhibition at the Hollywood Museum. Your unexpected e-mail and phone call, in which you offered up, for inclusion in the exhibit, several famous Streisand gowns and career pieces, as well as her furniture and accessories, was extremely generous. You even offered to help me transport them. Those were the magic moments that created our long and enjoyable, but not long enough, friendship. I am going to miss getting those hilariously funny calls from you in which you lovingly poked fun at Streisand (a.k.a. Fuzzy Girl). You always made me laugh! I am also glad that we had the opportunity to go to Barbraâ??s Phoenix concert together, where I was invited backstage by Marty. No one will ever understand or appreciate that experience where just you, she and I talked in her dressing room about my poster that I created and gifted her, as well as the items we had displayed in the Streisand Legacy Exhibit. I still remember you and Barbra waving at each other as we backed up as we departed. No one will ever know how funny, memorable and special that moment was for us. As I have told you many times, you made Los Angeles special for me, whether we were having a meal at El Compadre (where you never failed to get a roasted chicken to take home to Papi and Chloe), Home, Astro or at any of the little Mexican dives or street carts in West Hollywood. I also enjoyed accompanying you to the recording studio to watch you lay out demos. Iâ??ve always liked your voice, the songs you chose and the total recording process (I am especially glad you left a few of your songs on the internet for us to listen to now that you have left us). I am so sorry that you never had the opportunity to complete three of your special projects—the first and second being the completion of your CD and the manufacturing and marketing of your Hillary Kramer perfume line. However, I am most sorry that you did not have time to complete your very special house that you, numerous contractors and workers have been working on for three years. I have especially enjoyed the excitement and passion you generated and while sharing extremely special and unique details with me as your â??monastery/castleâ? home progressed. The numerous trips we made to architectural reclamation stores, antique shops and vintage hardware and tile shops around LA clearly demonstrated your dedication to creating the perfect home. If you couldnâ??t find what you wanted, or knew it did not exist, you had it fabricated. Your love for fine things, combined with your artistic creativity, as well as your passion for doing things perfectly has resulted (or nearly so) in what I am willing to bet is the most unique home in California. I am painfully sorry that you were not able to complete it and enjoy it before you took ill. I know how badly you wanted your family, and especially your Mom, to enjoy it These are but a few of the many fine memories of our times together. Each visit was special for me. I am thankful for what we shared for the last six years and now I am left with memories of our fun times together and you shall remain alive in my heart. However I will still miss you terribly!

You will be missed, your thoughtful and loving ways will always be remembered. We had some really fun times. I will always remember the fun night at Dan Tanas in Beverly Hills and you bought dinner and brought me a huge bottle of Patron tequila. We had so much fun that night! You, me, Richard, and Bev. My daughters still remember when you stopped at our house on the way to Burning Man in that motor home. You had about a hundred stuffed animals in the motor home and you let the girls have 3 each of their choosing. They still remember that all these years later. You came to my house for kelseys first communion. That meant a lot to us. I loved your house. It reflected your creativity. Your love and devotion to your friends and family will always be remembered. I miss you already my dear cousin . What an individual you are. I love you, give my Dad a hug in heaven. Lisa, Brad, Kelsey, Erin and Blair

David, I miss you so much already. You were always there for me, especially during the dark days of Columbine. You were always there to listen and to give me support, and you never asked for anything in return. I know you always said if you overused the , "I love you's" that it lost it's meaning, so I made sure not to over-do it. Now, I wish I had told you "I love you" more often. You were more than a cousin, you were a friend. And, you were such an important person to everyone in our family; you were truly loved. I know death is not final – it is a transition. I know your soul can look into my heart and know how much I love you, and how much I miss you; my heart aches . But, we will meet again. In the meantime, go with peace knowing that your life made the world a better place for everyone who knew you.
