Sending love and support to Dave and his family. May healing and recovery be present immediately. Dave made a huge impression on my life, and touched me greatly with his stories of the love and growth he has experienced as Meagan's father. My thoughts are with you all.
ReplyDeleteI would like to wish all involved much strength as they cope with this loss. Dave has made a very meaningful impact on the way I navigate through the world, and I am reminded of his influence often. He and all involved will continue to be in my thoughts going forward.
ReplyDeleteDave has taught so many of us about the value and power of community. Thank you, Kiran and Robert for putting this blog together to help pull our Clark community together as a source of love and support to the Bells and the Mundts during this unimaginably difficult time. -Tanya Palit, Boston
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of my time at Clark, there are a few people who's useful wisdom I continue to carry with me. Dave is one of those few. My thoughts and prayers go out to him & his family. As I can only image how difficult this time may be for the family, I extend all my best wishes.
ReplyDeleteMy dear Meagan: Thank you for all the happiness you brought to our lives. Thank you for the intensity with which you engaged every moment of life. Thank you for your open, honest and fresh interactions with everybody and everything. Thank you for the games and stories. I am sorry I did not take you out for that drink that I promised you after you turned 21. I keep with me that precious moment when you were the only one able to approach Dilma and me; we had burst into tears and were crying intense sadness because I was leaving Worcester. You hugged us, consoled us and loved us without fears. My dear friend, a piece of you stays with us forever. Have a good journey.
ReplyDeleteDave is one of the most kind and considerate teacher, community organizer and doting father I met. He made a lasting impact on my life.
ReplyDeleteWish Dave a quick recovery. Sending healing energy to the Bell family. Let me know if I could be of help in anyway.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Bell family. Wishing Dave a quick recovery and much healing. Glad to see all of the support from the Clark community.
ReplyDeleteDave, I wish you the speediest possible recovery. I am so saddened by your injury and terrible loss. I think back on your classes and discussions often. You had a huge impact on my time at Clark. I can't possibly know your pain, but I do hope that this outpouring of community love and support offers you comfort during this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteKiran and Robert, thanks so much for putting this together.
ReplyDeleteDave, I am incredibly sorry for your loss. I remember how much you adored your children and cherished your family. Meagan is lucky to have you as a dad. Take care of yourself and let me know if I can be of any help.

Dave and Bev- ALL of my prayers are with you both right now. I am sending deep and focused intentions of healing --body and heart. Hoping that as you take this time minute-by-minute you can feel the collective love of many. Love, prayers & the deepest peace, Megan Harding
ReplyDeleteKiran and Robert, thank you so much for setting this up.
ReplyDeleteDave and Bev, I think often of your visit to Namibia last year. You are both such beautiful, inspiring and fascinating people. Claudio and I are sending you lots of love, peace and strength. You both remain in our thoughts.
Dear friends...You are in my heart. Dave and Bev, I pray for your full recovery. I am so sorry for the loss of Meagan. I, along with all who know and love you, send you strength, love, and healing light.
ReplyDeleteMeagan, you were and will always be a bright and shining star to everyone who met you. When I think of you, your vivacious laugh and your playful spirit envelop me. I keep seeing you bouncing down the bleachers selling 50/50 tickets at Lacrosse and field hockey...yelling at the refs at hockey, screaming out the cheers supporting all those Amherst players. You loved to tease Skyler and make him laugh! What a great sense of humor you had. I will look up in the heavens tonight here in Hawaii and see you shining once more.
I know that you have touched the lives of all you met...I wish you peace.
Brad, I was so concerned that you had to face this on your end alone. I know Skyler is wishing hard that he was there with you...to drive you to Boston..to sit with you through the waiting. Be strong. We love you.
I am so sorry for your pain and loss.
Amanda's family...you are also held deep in my heart. She was an amazing young woman who was changing peoples' lives for the better. Blessings, Karen
Dave and Bev,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about your tragedy and loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Please do let me know whatever I can do to be of comfort and help in the days and months ahead. Your lives have always touched so many others in wonderful ways - you deserve so much love and support now more than ever.
Peace,
Joe
Dear Dave and Bev,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. Your are both in my thoughts as you begin the road to recovery.
With wishes for peace and comfort,
Deb Robertson
I echo other people's comments - thank you Kiran and Robert for starting this. Often, I think of Dave and the wonderful teacher that he is. I enjoyed this Ed. Dev. and Monitoring and Eval. courses. I love how he always says "Hi" if he knows you - I work with people now who don't do that. Megan visited the dept. often and was sweet. It's hard to think of the loss of Megan, Amanda and her aunt, who were doing great things in the world, only to have their lives lost in an accident. Every day I send good thoughts for Dave, his healing and recovery. Please let us know if you have any news of his condition when you are able.

Be well, Dave. I'm glad to hear from David Angel, via a Clark email, that you are at home and doing rehab. :) Steph
ReplyDeleteKiran and Robert, thank you for putting this together.
ReplyDeleteDave, I have dallied in writing this because no words would come to me, but I don't think there are words for this. I feel lucky to have known Megan for the brief minutes I talked with her at the Spring Fling but in that short time it was evident that she was a bright and joyous light. My deepest condolences to you and Bev. My sincerest wishes of strength, healing, and light for your family.
