Sandy, I am sad to hear of Dan's passing and feel strongly for your loss. I have warm memories of growing up a child of SDC and always enjoyed how calm and inviting you and Dan always were. Take comfort knowing he is with Stacey now. Peace be with you always. You have many, many friends in this world.

I am so sorry and shocked to hear of Dan's death.
I am sure by this time Dan and John are managing their own Acme in Heaven.
Seriously, I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. It is very difficult being a widow.
I am visiting with my Son in DC, or I would surely attend the service.
