Whenever I thnk of the "perfect" family, I think of the family created by Denny and Jane. I know there have been rough places in the road (everyone faces some), but no family I have met handles difficulties as lovingly and wisely as the Behans. I have admired the patriarch of the family for his kindness and goodhumor since I met Tara - a looooonnggg time ago. And Jane's devotion to him is testimony to his inspiring goodness (and hers!), as are his three terrific children. Thanks, Denny, for just being You and for passing on your honorable heart. You are remembered in the close-knit, delightful family you built and by the friends who will continue to celebrate your time here.
