The following poem found in Marcelle's belongings after her death (together with Bert's funeral bulletin):

To My Husband

I walk alone
& think of days gone by
When we were young.
A hand to hold
A shoulder strong to lean on
And dreams to dream.
Now he is gone
And I am all alone
I miss him so.
_________Mar.

The following is the Eulogy that his sister Rebecca read at David's funeral.

My brother, David. He's dead. What can I say about him? His life was not an
easy one and he caused our family a lot of worry and grief. He never seemed
to be able to be successful at anything. And yet... he tried. I know he
wanted to turn his life around. He went back to school and we rejoiced at his
good marks in English, commiserated with him over his difficulty with math.
He was happy to finally move into a nice new apartment, the best he ever had.
He wrote to our sister, possibly to make amends for childhood wrongs, possibly
to keep contact with his new nephew. He was always kind to animals, and loved
and cared for Simon, his parrot, for many years. He told me of sharing his
last dollar, or his only food, with people less fortunate than himself. He
was dependent on our parents for money, yet gave to those even poorer, those
with no family. I probably got along with him better than anyone, and I am
very sad. But I also feel guilty. When he asked me for help with a new
scheme, I was too busy. I did not take him seriously. I know David himself
must share the blame for this, but now I wish I had done more. I also wish I
could keep the promise I made to him to care for Simon if something happened
to him. I promised this to make David feel better - I only hope he
understands why I cannot. David, wherever you are, I hope you are at peace at
last, and I kope you know that I loved you. We all loved you, in spite of our
difficulties, as best we could. You will always have a place in our hearts
and in our thoughts.
