Coleman, Todd

Todd. We were just kids, didn't know much. What i do know, is that I miss you.....! Can't believe it's been so long since you've passed! I'm still here, and think of you all the time. I Love you Todd! Freddie

GREAT

Chanced upon the short documentary on Todd's last days Living with AIDS. What a great handle he had on his life, despite being so young and dying.

So beautiful, so mature for his 22 years. The last time I saw Todd was toward the end of his illness. Anyone else would have probably stayed in their hospitable bed, but Todd —whole seemed half conscious— was nonetheless of such strong spirit that he [surely at his insistance] was being guided down Castro Street, approaching those he recognized to give them a final kiss on their cheeks. Can you imagine the force of will behind such an act? He kissed me and I looked at him —not having previously known he was sick, but in an instant, understanding. Too many tears to finish writing this. Much love to you Todd, wherever you are. Silly of me .. I know where you are; in my heart, my friend.

Wow, it's been 35 years since you passed away. I first learned about you years ago through the PBS documentary Living With AIDS. I admire and respect the way you handled your situation. I'm so sorry you had to go through so much while you were so young during a time that was not very accepting.

Todd, You are remembered and loved and missed. Always.
