Dan ,You have been gone almost a month. Not a day has gone by that I have not asked God "WHY WHY BOTH OF TMEM"? I did not see you every day but I always told myself that you were only 5 min away If I needed you. Or a phone call away. I should have called you every day. Now you are a life time away, and I need you. God willing you and your Brother are together and looking down on us and Praying for all of us left here. I am saying Prayers for both of you . Dan May God Bless you and Your brother David. I Love you and miss you both.

I used to work with Dan and he was a great friend to me. He was always there to cheer anyone up who was having a bad day. His mother may not know me, and Sarah & Michael may not remember me, but you will be in my thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. Sarah & Michael, I know what it's like to lose a father and it's hard to believe now, but it does get easier as time goes by. Once again, you will be in my heart and on my mind.

Sarah, my thoughts are with you, your brothers, your sister and your grandparents. I know what its like not to have your father with you and the difficulty in having to deal with a loss this great. Please don't hesitate to call on either Ted or me if you need anything at all -- anytime, day or night, we'll be there for you. Your dad was a great guy and I know he will be missed by all who's lives he touched. Take care of yourselves and each other -- and remember, you now have your own "Guardian Angel" watching over you.
