                 IN MEMORY OF BRIAN CORDOVA
         How do you write a goodbye?
Sadly, your passing shook our sport to its core. Known, loved, and admired by everyone, your pass- ing has been painful for so many who loved you. For decades we’ve been friends, seeing each other through life’s ups and downs, the good and the not so good. Your friendship meant the world to me, like a warm hot toddy that warmed my soul. I knew I could always count on you. I’ll miss you so much, our staycations, laughs, and conversations.....always a cherished friend whom I loved.
My kids having grown up with their Uncle Poo- dle are also at a loss for words.... they loved telling their friends about their Uncle Poodle and will miss you too.
Decades ago in Bermuda, we enjoyed riding our scooters across the island after the shows, finding our own perfect private coves for snorkeling, and ending the day with pitchers of swizzles. I pray that you are scootering, snorkeling, and swizzleling in pure bliss. Until we meet again, my friend, know that your life made a difference to so many of our lives.
Forever in my heart, your Valerina
