David Mark Bailey, 44, of Earlysville, died of brain cancer on Saturday, October 2, 2010, in Charlottesville, Virginia, and was welcomed into everlasting life at his place at the Table with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ., David was born February 26, 1966, the son of Kenneth and Ethel Bailey, missionaries to the Middle East. For the first 22 years of his life, his home was Beirut, Lebanon, including the first 10 years of the Lebanese civil war. Because of war, the family was obliged to evacuate first to Switzerland in 1967, and later to Cyprus in 1982. David's two final years of high school were completed in a private school in Germany because he was, as a young man, especially vulnerable on the streets of Beirut., David attended Grove City College in western Pennsylvania, where he met and married his soul mate, Leslie McGarvey, of Emlenton, Pennsylvania. During his college years, he was active as a performing songwriter, playing evening and weekend gigs with a music partner. He also enjoyed choir, frat life, acting, and organizing an underground newspaper. David graduated with majors in English and Communication Arts. In the late 1980's, David and Leslie relocated to the Washington, D.C., area where David worked for the United States government in satellite imagery analysis. His career evolved to training and then program management with numerous software subcontractors, ending with employment with Eastman Software in Massachusetts., Their daughter, Kelcey, was born in 1992, and son, Cameron, in 1994., The day prior to moving to the Boston area, in July of 1996, David was diagnosed with brain cancer - Glioblastoma Multiforme IV (GBM). He was expected to have fewer than two years to live. Eager to have his life make a difference in the lives of others, he gave up his career in the software industry and, with a great leap of faith, launched a third career as a performing songwriter - a "troubadour of hope." Following two surgeries, radiation, experimental chemotherapy and nuclear therapy, David criss-crossed America (and Europe) singing in coffee houses and churches, for cancer conferences and cancer survivor groups for 12 years. David wrote all of his own songs, which grew out of his experiences of war and of battling a deadly cancer. He sang of faith, hope, love, and of living life to it's fullest each day. He experienced a recurrence of brain cancer in late 2008, recovering enough to tour in 2009 and early 2010. Enduring numerous additional surgeries and difficult treatments, David made a final tour in July of this year., David is survived by Leslie, his wife of 23 years; his children, Kelcey and Cameron; his parents, Kenneth and Ethel Bailey; a sister, Sara Makari and her husband, Victor; numerous sisters- and brothers-in-law and eight nieces and nephews., To quote a line from one of David's songs, "The tears of the angels form a river where you can wash your pain, and even in the middle of the thunder, don't forget the love inside the rain." His theme was "There may be years of tears behind you, but right now you've got One More Day." He leaves behind him a musical legacy of 23 professionally-recorded CDs. His music and his personal testimony have affected the lives of countless thousands in this country and around the world., The family offers deep gratitude to Doctor Henry Friedman, Doctor Allan Friedman and Doctor David Reardon at Duke and Doctor David Schiff at University of Virginia Medical Center and their caring staffs. We also offer loving thanks to our family of caregivers at the Hospice House and Hospice of the Piedmont in Charlottesville., Memorial gifts are welcome and may be made to Blue Ridge Presbyterian Church, 6566 Spring Hill Road, Ruckersville, VA 22968. Half of those gifts will be equally divided between the following brain tumor organizations, The American Brain Tumor Association, the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke, Gray Matters Foundation, the Florida Brain Tumor Association and T.H.E. Brain Trust. |

ESTEP, Mary G., passed away on October 14, 2010 after a nine-year struggle with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the blood's plasma cells. On March 31, 1957, she was born Mary Jean Grieneisen in Wilkinsburg, Pa. (near Pittsburgh). She graduated from Sacred Heart Catholic High School in 1975 and earned a degree in chemical engineering from the University of Pittsburgh in 1979. She joined the DuPont company that same year and enjoyed assignments at the company's Belle site near Charleston, W.Va., Washington Works site in Parkersburg, W.Va., Marshall Labs in Philadelphia, and the Spruance site in Richmond, Va. Her career highlight was being part of a technical team in the mid-80s that helped build and start a CORIAN plant in Japan. This was at a time when Japanese men were not sure how to deal with an American woman in a technical role but Mary-san quickly drove away their discomfort and it was a great startup. She left DuPont in 1993 to become a full-time Mom. She is survived by her husband of 23 years, Tom Estep, and their two children, Todd Estep and Michelle Estep; her brother, Paul Grieneisen, who lives near Pittsburgh; and sister, Judy Hallgren, who resides in North Canton, Ohio. She was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Charlotte Grieneisen, and her older brother, Joey Grieneisen. The family would like to thank the nurses at the Thomas Johns Cancer Center and the Chesterfield DaVita Dialysis Center for their care this past summer. Thanks also to Hospice of Virginia for care during her final days. Special thanks to Dr. Harriet Schanzer for early detection of the disease and Dr. Pablo Gonzalez and the staff at the Virginia Cancer Institute for their treatment, support and counsel through nine very tough years. The family's deepest gratitude goes to Ernie and Paula Moore for their steadfast kindness, support and friendship during this difficult time. There will be no formal service, just a simple burial at Dale Memorial Cemetery attended by immediate family. |

Mr. Wilson Edward Jones Jr. was born on Nov. 4, 1944, to the late Wilson E. Sr. and Estelle Jones in Petersburg, Va., departed this life on Sunday, Oct. 10, 2010. Educated in the public school system of Petersburg, Va., he received his diploma from Peabody High School while he also worked as an apprentice at Tucker Funeral Home., On June 18, 1982, Wilson, affectionately known as "Man", married Thelma M. Wilson of Ford, Va., and from their union one child was born., "Man's" only sibling, Gladys Mae Williams, was 11 years older and she preceded him in death. Both accepted Christ, were baptized and raised in the church. However, the two of them shared many misadventures. One often told around family gatherings was a merciless whipping he received when he was wrongly blamed for a trip to the swimming pool at Fort Lee. "Sis" delighted in sharing that childhood memory, but not without expressing regrets for his sufferings. As often the case, life comes full circle. "Man" later joined the civilian roll at Fort Lee and he subsequently retired from there., In his pastime, "Man" loved to watch DVD movies, especially westerns. He was a big fan of wrestling, as well; and while in Baltimore, he adopted the Ravens as his home team. In fact, sports was often the topic of discussion with his good friend Robert Samuel Blueford and it was commonplace for them to share play-by-play events of the day. Occasionally, the two worked odd jobs; and they were easily mistaken as brothers because of a remarkable physical resemblance., He leaves to cherish his memories, his wife, Thelma "Mag" Jones; son, Lorenzo Edward; stepson, Johnnie Lee Wilson (Nichelle); four grandchildren, Octavius, Tre-Vion, Jasmine, and Jade, all of Virginia; devoted nieces, Jacqueline Williams and Janet Johnson; nephew, Robert Williams Jr. all of Baltimore, Md.; sisters-in-law, Emma Wilson, Mary Wilson, Elaine Wilson, and Hilton Parham (Carroll); brothers-in-law, John and James Wilson, all of Virginia; a host of great-nieces and nephews, cousins, and friends., A funeral service will be held 11 a.m. Monday, Oct. 18, 2010, at the chapel of J.M.
