Not sure what to say?

I'm happy to have known you. Yes, I am from the Dahm's family tree, of the gender daughter, cousin, grandchild, aunt, sister, daughter, grandmother,friend. My Great Grandfather, would have me say: I am of the family tree--Christian--from the crossing on wagon wheel with friends and family only four generations ago.

From Ok State VIce President of the Student Senate to retired Harvard Law School lawyer, our Delta Chi brother achieved the best in life. He will be sadly missed.

What a nice guy he will truly be missed, wishing his family all the best

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
