Colleen, Eileen and Deb,
I am so sorry to hear about your father. There isn't a time that I don't think of your parents. They were my best friends.
I have so many happy memories.
When I do something right, I feel your mother whispering in my ear.

Eileen, Deb, Colleen and Family...
The memories of you, your Dad & Mom are still as vivid as if they happened yesterday. You girls running around the yard, your Mom , the original MJ, our kids Brett & Jillian all shrieking with laughter.
Meanwhile Dan and me trying to take down the giant Oak tree & nearly taking out our house in the process.
My deepest sympathy to you...Dan was a wonderful man.
Those fond memories remain.

Dan Flynn and his wife Mary-Jean were wonderful people. I was just a kid when they moved next to us @ Airline Park on Cape Cod. Our family became real close in a short amount of time and to this day I still think about Mary-Jean and all the fun we had with her and Dan. I didn't see Dan much after Mary-Jean passed but the impression he and Mary-Jean made on me will be with me forever.
They are together again and I'm sure they're all smiles!!!
I love you both
