yet another death

Ok .. maybe it's cause I keep talking about it.

David G. Smith was my first husband Gary's best friend. They went to grade school together. David had a twin brother Danny.

David lived behind me when I lived in Mt. Vernon and was a very good friend to me. He let me talk about Gary after he passed and let me cry and never said anything bad about it. Just let me talk and cry and shared funny stories with me.

He could sing just like Johnny Cash. In fact I loved to listen to him and remember that about him the most. I went to see him about a week before he passed and I'm really glad I did. I showed him pictures of mine and Gary's daughter which he was just thrilled with and he got to tell me all about his grandkids and how proud he was that his kids were doing so good.
