Precious memories about our Co-worker and our Friend, Our friendship journey began in the 1980s as co-workers at Meharry Medical College. Dave’s character, integrity and forthrightness revealed the true substance and statue of the man. He stood for what he felt was just and fair for the employees; fighting the good fight and finding “good trouble.” He never flinched nor waivered whether in battle or embattled. We always knew when he entered the room, equity entered. It was this standard of integrity that created a long-lasting friendship between him, his wife Lamel, his children and our family. We evolved and “grew up” as young couples together: facing the best and worst of times in our lives. Dave’s reserve created an atmosphere of calmness, contemplation, and wisdom. His laughter and quick wit set ease and openness in the room. His absolute devotion to his family set the bar at the highest level and dared the rest of us to do the same. He WAS Godliness. goodness and service to St. Luke in the epitome of faith. We will truly miss our spades partner, the late-night phone calls, the dances, football games, the weddings, the shows and so much more we shared together. On behalf of the Edmondson-Wilson families and Imagemakers Network, we salute you, Soldier, and faithful Friend - may you rest eternally with the Lord. To Lamel, Tim, Natalie, Christian and the rest of the family, may God continue wrap you in His comforting arms. Loving Submitted by Louis A. and Regina Edmondson-Wilson
