Mi querido Francés,

No hay ningún día que no pienso de ti. Aveces te siento tan adentro de mi alma que me deja sin aire. No puedo poner en palabras el hollo que tu muerte dejo en mi corazón.

Tu memoria vive en mi, mi carrera y en el entrene de los que siguen con tus costumbres. En este día de recuerdo y cada día antes y después tu memoria vive en mi como lumbre.

Siempre contigo en servicio y amor,

Tu Nieve Caprichuda

When I was 17 years old... I was living on the streets in Hollywood and was taken in by Jimmy and Keith. And so, they became the parents this little lost girl needed in her life. If it had not been for them... I would have died - they saved my life.

So, I say to you James C. Hunt my Mother who would send me to the Bath Houses to get Keith Daudermann my Father, to bring him home for dinner.. That I love you both everyday. That I miss you both so much. While you seemed so much older than me - in fact, you were only 28 & 29 when you brought me home. And those fucking orgies. You certainly gave me an education. I miss you!

It was about 1980 - do you remember... You showed me the LA Times and on the cover - NEW GAY CANCER. We had no idea what it meant then. We do now.

Jimmy and Keith... It has been 20 years now, since I lost you -- I cannot believe it. I still have photos and photos of you with Jacob. Such proud Grandpa's.

I worked for GMHC as a Buddy in 1983 - I was the only female there at the time and was not so welcomed... But my friend John Campanella who was one of the original founders of the buddy program believed I would do good. I was only 22 and not prepared emotionally for this journey I was to take. First rule - do not love the PWA you are to care for. I loved David Vargas and he became my brother. For the next 5 years until his death, I was his. I miss you David and I miss you John. You were a great teacher and helped me during my own period of growth.

Danny... You brought such joy and love into my home and the lives of my children. Thank you for sharing your last moments with me. I hope you carried your sweater with you. I can still see you and Jacob on the front steps, having intense conversations about death and dying. You were the first person they lost, and while Bennie does not remember (he was 3) Jacob (who was 5) still remembers you. Always, I will miss you.

There are hundreds others... who have come into my life and left their beautiful gifts of themselves with me and my boys. I miss them all.

I was so fortunate to be a part of GMHC in the early 80's, during much of their growth. To be part of such a group of people who believed in what they were doing. Today, they do even more amazing work.

May the eternal light shine on each and every one of our friends and family we have lost. May they rest in peace, knowing how deeply loved they are.
