From David to Silvia’s friends & family

Recently I wrote to David and informed him that a copy of his message about Silvia’s passing was attached to her coffin at her funeral on the 22nd Oct.  I thanked David for his message and this is his reply. As you can see, David was happy for me to publish his letter.

 You’re welcome Jane…I believe that WE (humans) have only each other on this earth. The concept that we take with us just ourselves and what experiences we have with others while on this earth, is what I believe. You can’t take “stuff” or money or things that some people place great value on, and view them as LIFE. We are what we make of our lives and what we do with that life. I choose to love and to try and make a very positive impact and or difference in touching other people’s life. I do so because I have a choice. We all do. Most of us are caught up in ourselves so much, we miss the opportunities to truly share our feelings, compassion, caring, or even just listening to another human’s voice. I heard your sadness and the loss in yours. I’ve gotten a lot more from reaching out and giving, than I ever would receiving. You and I and all of the people that Silvia touched herself…We are richer to have known her. Even I, so distant and so far away, feel a certain loss. It’s because Silvia herself reached out with LOVE to me. She evidently was that way to many others, based on what you’ve shared with me… God Bless her spirit and her friends like yourself Jane, and her family. Do you see how one person has the ability to make the choice to be a LOVING person????? We all do. And that’s what I choose to do with the time I’m here. Knowing now what I’ve learned about Silvia, you may share this letter with any of her friends through my website and post it if you’d like. I’m sure many got to know her as being my loving supportive fan as she was….God Bless and Happy Trails…David 

Photographs

David has asked me to look into producing some new merchandise for fans. We are starting with a 2012 Calendar and a book of photographs. Proceeds from the book of photographs will go to Alzheimer’s Research.

David will be providing some photographs and he is inviting fans to donate photographs that they own.

It would be wonderful to have a collection of photographs from each decade; from concerts, theatre, television and other places. The photographs must be owned by you and be of high enough quality to be printed in a calendar or book.

Printed photographs would need to be scanned to be submitted. Photographs can be submitted by sending to davidcassidypics@gmail.com

If your photographs are chosen to be used in either the calendar or the book you will be notified.

We look forward to seeing your photographs!  Jane

David performed at the 8th Annual Summer Paw Picnic, Waldorf Farm, North Chatham NY.

The event was to support the work of the Columbia-Greene Humane Society. They are dedicated to the protection, humane treatment, and well being of all animals and are committed to community outreach, humane education and prevention of cruelty to animals. They do not euthanize animals for space constraints and do not receive any federal, state, or county funding. You can donate to this worth cause at http://cghs.org/

Lisa Miller who is a professional photographer attended the event and has kindly allowed us to use a few of her photos. You can see more photos from the Summer Paw Picnic and concert at http://www.studiodiluce.com/

Five minutes before the concert began it started to rain. David arrived at the stage, on horseback, wearing a rain jacket and cap.
