I miss you grandpa you meant everything to me.You'll always be in my heart.You and I shared so many memories together that I can only name a couple.I remember when you would be watching soccer and I would always go in your room and start messing with you.I miss those days so much.Also when you took me and Jackie to Burger King, It was tasty.You were one of the happiest person i ever knew you'd always have a smile on your face in every picture i saw you in. From this day on i'll always be thinking of how I miss you.Not just me but everyone. - Lily Souyavong

Dan will be missed dearly, i worked with him at anderson packaging for years. He was the nicest person you ever wanted to meet. I will miss his laugh and his smile. He was same way everday, no matter if he wasn't feeling good, he would always still joke with us.Rest in Peace Dan. Lisa Gore, Rockford; IL
