Dear Kay and family,

So sorry to hear the sad news of Dan's death. We were unable to attend the funeral but wanted you to know that I went to Mass, on the Cape, the day of the funeral and offer my Mass for Dan.
I hope it comforts you all to know that he is now free of all pain and suffering, living on in God perfect love forever.

I can just picture him up there for the big "All Saints Day" celebration with all the people that he loved. Take care of yourself.

Love...Pat and Steve

My deepest condolences go out to you and your entire family.
Although it has been more than 20 years since I first met Danny, I have always remembered him for how friendly and funny he was and how he always greeted you with a smile.
He did so much for the city of Medford and touched many lives without realizing it.
May he rest in peace.
