David and Sari Cornfield were two of our closest friends. Mark and I met David at Deloitte where we worked. David was the one who, much to his amusement and delight, first discovered our blooming interoffice romance a few years before.
My name is Sari Cornfield and I was blessed to be David Cornfield’s wife. Our love story began as do most – boy meets girl, girl and boy fall in love, get married and so on. We were young and in love, we were best friends who spent every free moment together. We were starting our life together, having adventures, working hard at our respective careers and planning to start a family. Unfortunately, that’s where our love story took a turn.
December 18th is DCMF's toughest day. It's the day that David Cornfield passed away in 2005. This year is especially difficult as it marks the 10 year anniversary of David's death.
On February 24, 2014, our dear friend Meredith Legg Stapleton passed away at the age of 26 from ocular melanoma (OM). We met Meredith when she kindly donated her time to travel from South Carolina to Toronto to film Dear 16 Year Old Me. The minute we met Meredith, we knew we were in the presence of someone very special. With her gorgeous smile, sparkling eyes and charming Southern accent, Meredith stole our hearts.
