David Loren Bartz died June 29, 2015 of a cerebral hemorrhage after a myocardial infarction. On the way to the hospital in Belize City he grabbed my hand and told me that he loved me. I squeezed his hand and said, “OH, NO! You’re not leaving me….” but he did.

“I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.” W. H. Auden
