I will miss cousin David. He was always great company and had a wonderful sense of humour. My prayers are with you and your family.
The Family of David Cardosi,
My wife and I got to know Dave quite well at EuroMed from June of 2017 until early February of this year, when my wife succumbed to the stage IV cancer she was battling. Dave was always compassionate and caring, and was there whenever we needed to talk. During the last few weeks of my wife’s life, he was always available anytime of day or night, and he would call us to check how things were. I will always remember his laugh. It is hard to imagine EuroMed without Dave. He will be greatly missed. From my loss I can now understand the great loss the family now is suffering, and particularly you Tannia. Dave always spoke very endearingly about you. Just let the Lord be your strength, and remember this: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalms 46:1)

So sorry to hear of David’s passing. He was surely the heart and soul of Euromed. Such a caring person and definitely felt like you could talk to him and get an honest answer. He worked so hard! Always open to talking at any time.
My husband was treated successfully at Euromed and David was there every step of the way. We are so grateful for all his care and compassion. I don’t think it will be the same there without him. He made the difference.
May the Lord watch over you and your family. Lean on Him and he will guide you to where he wants you to be.
David and both took the same Cell biology and molecular classes together at University of New Mexico. I enjoyed helping David with his PA application to S. Western Medical School and having dinners with his wife Beth. Spent several weeks at his home in De Soto Texas while he was attending PA program and quizzes him hourly on his studies. Will miss him deeply.
As we prepare for our 30th Reunion. From UTSW PA we will think of David

I am so so sorry for David’s passing. I loved and respected him some much. I did my rural preceptorship with him in 1993 in Glenn rose Texas. I graduated with him in1993 at UT Southwestern and he was one of the smartest guys in my class. I want you to know that David was great and I know he misses you. He always looked outside the box. He is a great loss to our profession.
Love always,
Richard
