"When he said to me: 'Lil, you should get out there more, explore more on your own.' I said: 'Dave, my life is wrapped around you, I love the experiences we have together and who I am with you... I don't need more.'

"How right was he and how wrong was I because, when I lost him, I had to learn to do all of those things without him! And it hurts now that I did say no then.

"It's hard, but you are moving forward and have accomplished so much. Remember to take time for you too, don't feel you have to be strong all the time. There will be times of despair and tears too - let it out. But we are all there for you, no matter what."

"He picked me up from the airport. It was about midnight and he opened the fridge and he said, 'What do you want me to cook for you?'

"I'd never ever in my life had a man cook for me. So that was the very first thing that just hit me. I was visiting as a friend, but from that moment on my heart just melted."

Sadly, Myers passed away at the age of 66, leaving behind a legacy of charm and culinary adventure. Since then, Liliana has expressed the deep sense of loss she feels, receiving an outpouring of support from the public who have shared their condolences online.
