Katie & Madeline,
I have never met either one of you, but Dan helped me greatly when my husband, Eddie Sullivan, passed away 2 years ago, then I had the pleasure of meeting Dan when he came to Vegas in 2006.
Katie, you are so very blessed to have had such a wonderful father to guide you. I know the tears of your eyes and heart will be many, because whenever you have someone that wonderful in your life, you want them to be there always, but praise God for giving us the ability to remember those wonderful times.
Madeline, my tears and heartbreak is for you, it's never easy to lose your other half, but because God has given us the ability to grow with the person we love, we can now step forward, knowing they're in our hearts, actions and love, and display to the world that our lives are much better because of our other half, who unfortunately,is no longer physically with us.
God has blessed all of us, for allowing Dan to be in our lives.

Hey Donny,
It was great to see you and Madeline at the Boxing Event celebrating my dad's achievements. I appreciate your contributions to the event, especially the great poster of my dad, which I have hanging in my house. I think of you often when I look at the picture. I know you and my mom had a special relationship, and am grateful for that.
God bless you and your family,
