Roz, Daniel, Darren, and Matthew,
I am so sorry for your loss, it is a great loss for all of us I can assure you. Dan meant so much to me. He always cared about me and my future. I will miss him and his hugs so much.
Just a few fun things I remember about Dan... He always hated it when my mom and dad called me Dan. He always said Dan was a boys name and that I needed to be called Danielle because Dan was never girly enough for me.
I will never forget the time he...
