Dan and Kayneta led the way.. and as family, I never saw a moment when caring for others was not first in importance.

Kindness and goodness surrounded him and touched those around him. He was a dear, sweet Uncle that will stay in our hearts forever. "The soul takes flight into a world that is invisible, but there arriving, he is sure of bliss."
