Dear John, Pat and Cathy, I was so saddened to hear about Daniel's passing. It was such a shock to all of us at NGNN that knew him and had the opportunity to work with him. When we reminisce about the good ole days working at bldg. 800, we always are smiling when we think of Daniel. At this difficult time, may you turn to memories of all you shared to bring you comfort and peace.

To the Meckley Family: Our hearts were sadden when we learned of Daniel's death,by keeping God in our presence we have found a peace that passes all understanding.
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy commeth in the morning.
May God promises in the scripture be your hope today, your peace tomorrow, and your comfort always.
