Dave/Mary,
I accidentially stumbled upon a news article regarding your son's passing and cannot comprehend the grief you must be enduring.
While I never knew your son personally, I remember time spent with you and your daughters and can only imagine the warmth and love bestowed upon your son by your entire family.
From someone who also lost a close family member recently, trust me when I say they may be no longer physically with us but those we love never truly leave us. A scent - a gentle breeze - a familiar sound will always remind us of their presence.
Thinking of each of you with the fondess of memories -
Kevin

Dearest Wilmot Family - The deep pain and sadness has kept me from writing sooner. To lose a son is like loosing a piece of your heart. The grief and emptiness is so huge. The magnitude of you lost is so much greater than anything I can say. May my love and support comfort you. xoxox Kaia Balsz, Law 1987

Dear Dean Wilmot,
I first met you when I was a G'town undergrad, at a Big East tournament in NY. During our walk from dinner, you said that if I wanted to, I could attend G'town law school. A few years later, I took you up on your word and you proved yourself faithful. I cannot thank you enough for that opportunity.
I pray that God will comfort you and your family with His presence and His peace during these difficult days and restore your joy in the days to come.
Be Blessed & Stay Encouraged!

David, This comes to express my deepest sympathy. When I heard about the accident, Immediately though of you. Then some of mutual GU friends confirmed it. I am so sorry. You may not remember me, but I work the Kios at GU Law school in 1972-73. I will always remember how you and other members of BLSA were so good to me.
Jesus said:
""Do not let your hearts betroubled. Ttust in God's trust in me. "In my farther's house are many rooms; if it was not true I would not have told you, I am going there to prepare a place for you and if I go and prepare a place
for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."(John 14:1-3)
Take comfort that David W. Wilmont II has taken his place with God.
May God continue to Bless and keep you and your family
