I was very saddened to learn of your wife's passing. I love to listen to your morning show and remember all the times you spoke of Darcy so lovingly. Your faith will sustain you.

Dear John

I knew Darcy from Guilford Park and Rec's morning aerobics class where she took Lucy's class and also taught it on occasion. She was a wonderful instructor, a "stickler for proper form" and great fun as an instructor and fellow participant. I will remember her devil costume every Halloween, her kindness and her devotion to you. She was a good and kind soul who never passed up an opportunity to express her love of life and her love for you.
My heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.

I was both shocked and saddened to hear of Darcy's passing. Although it has been years since we had been in touch, she touched my life when I was living in Madison. She was truly a "light" and passionate about working out and being the best that you can be. Keep strong in your Faith. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
