My Dearest Sister-Moma,
You are in my thoughts and in my prayers as you, and the family face the days ahead. Whenever I think of Danny. I see big smile and he's always at a piano singing Praise to Our God. In my mind we will always be 16-20y/o (me, him, and Scotty-Potty).
I'm only able to drive short distances else I would be with you today. So I send my love and a big hug. Jesus bless the Latta family one and all.
Love In Christ,

I loved Dan. He was a great encouragement to me while I was in Suffolk. God bless the entire Latta family as you grieve the loss of Dan. The most wonderful thing about Dan is that he knew the Lord and we WILL see him again.
