When Will David Venable Return?

On Friday, David shared that his mother was placed in a hospital in Charlotte, North Carolina. His mom, Sarah, was suffering from “abdominal pain and dehydration.” He flew in to visit with his mom and shared that he’d be missing a couple of shifts on QVC as a result.

At first, he thought he’d only miss a couple of days, but the visit was drawn out longer due to complications with his mom’s health. In the meantime, Mary DeAngelis has been filling in for him.
