I'm so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. He was a regular at the MUSC Wellness Center, and I had the pleasure of teaching the STAE Fit class that he and Jane attended. He was a great guy and will be missed by all.

Dear Jane, It was a great privilege to call Dave a friend. He was a delightful co-worker, a good friend, and a most interesting person. He put his heart into his teaching, too. I learned so much from him about teaching. He will be missed. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Lisa, I am so sorry for your loss. I know the pain you are experiencing right now and will for many years to come. The losses never get easier as we lose other family and friends. The loss of my father and brother over the years was sad but the loss of my sister recently was extremely bad. She was one of my closest friends and her dying unexpectedly left a huge hole in my life. Please take time to grieve in any way you think is necessary. Everyone heals in different ways. Continue to travel and enjoy life while you and your man (with the crazy hair) can. Take care and come visit me soon.

Dear Jane and family, Our sincere condolences on the loss of David. We will remember the times we shared conversations and a few picnics in the back yard. It will not be the same in the neighborhood without seeing him walk Zola. May you be sustained by the love and compassion of family and friends. God bless and keep you all. Sherryl and Stacy Turner
