To my darling husband...
I loved you for 63 1/2 years. The travels we made and the memories we shared will last forever.
From coast to coast, when we were young, to the Colorado River when we grew old, my sweet darling you will be so missed,
as I held your hand and gave you your last kiss.
I say to you keep me strong and someday Dan, I will come along.
I will keep our vows until the very end
and know that I loved you through thick and thin.

It's ok honey, we will meet up again someday
Love your darling wife

Grandpa, words cant even express how broken my heart is. I find peace in knowing that you aren't in anymore pain and can eat all the yummies you want!!! You were the best Grandpa any of us kids could have imagined. The endless hours you spent building dollhouses or sitting at my softball games, you created so many amazing memories for this family and I thank god everyday we have those. This is not good bye only see you later. Love you Grandpa, love your Brit Brat

Grandpa....you were the best Grandpa a girl could ever ask for. You were the only Grandpa I ever had and you really set the bar. From gymnastics competitions to watching me cheer at football games, you were always there, hiding in the corner, telling me how great I was. You were my number one fan. And I will never forget that love we shared.
I am so thankful for the last year and the time Weston got to spend with you, the way you looked at my son, I could see in your eyes, you just loved and adored him as much as we do.
Grandpa thank you for all the wonderful memories, from you telling me to go pee when all I really wanted was some of Grandma's tea to those very last days we spent together talking about chicken wings and all the things you couldn't eat :) You were one of a kind Grandpa and when you left you took a piece of me with you. I will always love you and miss you dearly...but this isn't goodbye Grandpa, just until we meet again.

Danny was fun to be with. We always enjoyed being around him. May he rest in peace. Love, Bobby and Carolyn

September 17, 2014

Uncle Danny was a great guy. He was my Mom's favorite brother-in-law. Growing up my family looked forward to their family visits to Virginia and still do. Especially my son (35yrs) who was so impressed with Uncle Danny's tattoos as a little boy!
