Dear Judy, Sheila and family,

I was so very sorry to hear about Dan. I wish I had the opportunity to have known him better. I do know that he loved his family very much and will be greatly missed. Rory often spoke of his Uncle David and what a wonderful influence he had on him in his youth. I am sure if the opportunity had presented itself Dan and Rory could have been good friends as well as cousins.

I hope the happy memories you shared will help you through this sad time.

Love,
Madonna

I know that Martin and Dan were best of friends. He will truly be missed. We're here for you if you need anything at all, please don't hesitate to ask.

Much Love,

Nick, David and Amanda,
I am so sorry that you have to experience this great loss. I am so happy to have gotten to know your dad and to be a part of his life. He was a great friend and loved you kids so much. I was just talking to him a couple of weeks ago about you kids. He was so proud of each of you and always expressed how glad he was that his kids had turned out so great. You three were his life and he never missed a chance to talk about you to me. Your Dad was one of the wisest men I have ever met and we would have deep conversations about so many things. Your Dad influenced me in so many area's of my life and I am so very glad that I had him as a friend in this life. I know he is in a better place and that comforts me as I hope it will for each of you. He will be greatly missed. I love all of you.
