My most sincere condolences to Dan's family. Dan was an exceptional human being, a wonderful friend, and I can only imagine what an amazing son. Dan loved spontaneity, and was always ready for the next adventure. He always made me laugh, and I was constantly reminded and in awe of how someone so brilliant, could have such humility. Dan and I met at a training course for our jobs six years ago and we hit it off right away. We talked about India for the good part of a happy hour, and despite us being in different cities for a few years, we managed to have a few incredibly fun nights out on the town in NY, one of which we talked about almost every time we saw each other. When he finally moved back to his old stomping grounds in DC, I couldn't have been happier to have a friend like him here. We enjoyed some great concerts together, had some fabulous cocktails, and even enjoyed a great sunset at our last outing with some of his friends on U St. The world isn't as good a place without you Dan. May you be in peace and a better place. I'm going to miss his greatly. Again, my sincere condolences to all who loved him, and especially for his family.

Dear Pam,
I wish I could have met Dan while he was here with us. Now I will have to wait to meet him in the promised place. Losing a child is the deepest sorrow, and I can't even imagine how you must be feeling. Matthew 5:4 is one of the Beatitudes and says "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." And this is Jesus' promise of peace then and now.

Pam ... please realize that I would not have wanted you to join the exclusive club of parents who have lost a child, but you know where I come from and will be here for you. You advocated for Dan right up to the end. No greater love! All my sympathy and love, Nancy

Dear Pam,

I was so sorry to hear that Dan passed away. My thoughts are with you and your family. Irene had told me that Dan was in the hospital for quite some time so I know you have been going through a lot for a while. It will take you a while to adjust to this, but hopefully with time you can look back at the good times that you had together.

Please know that you and your family are in my family's thoughts and prayers.

Dan lit up my life and all the lives of his co-workers. He gave us great laughs and shared hilarious stories. Truly one of the most intellectual people I have met, who could solve complex problems across a wide array of disciplines. He loved life and we all loved him back for it. God bless You, Dan. We would do anything to have you back.
