Heaven's Animator: The Elusive Dreams of David D'Alo

The bond between mother and son is strong. Sometimes it overcomes even the chains of death.

Kathy Andrews was proud of her son, David D’Alo. From the beginning David was special. Whether it was prevailing over a dangerous incarcerated hernia at birth, winning a city-wide art contest in high school, or building a replica of the DeLorean from Back to the Future as an adult, at every turn Kathy knew her son’s life would be remarkable.

And remarkable it was — as David’s dreams of becoming an animator gelled into an extraordinary adventure of art and energy, especially once he created his star — Boomer Bunny. Boomer was more than a friend, he was David’s outlet, reflecting David’s vitality of creative spirit.

Heaven's Animator is the story of David and Kathy whose bond birthed Boomer and proved that a family’s love builds not only talent but provides strength for meeting the trials of life. It is also the story of how David’s untimely death did not dissolve the bond of mother and son, but strengthened it. The spiritual journey of mother and son demonstrated that as flesh passed to dust, the astral highways between the living and the dead remained open.
