Dan, I miss you so much, it hurts so bad. All I see is you smiling and laughing all the time and making everyone else smile and laugh. Even though some of your ideas were crazy we still did them and had a blast doing it as long as we were all together. We will try to carry on as you would have done and make you proud. You are always in my heart and prayers and our memories will help us through, as there were many. I love and miss you more than you'll ever know and you're with me every day, all the time. Rest in peace, my brother..

Dad,
Everyday is getting stranger. To think I'll never see you again seems false. The void that I feel is so deep and inescapable I can physically feel it. Im going to miss you so much. I love you. You will be with me, running through my veins until I join you someday.

To the McCarthy Family,
My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead. Dan was such a great friend, cousin-in-law, and uncle. He always had a way to make me laugh when I was feeling bad. If he could, he would be doing that for each of us right now. He was definately an original and was loved dearly.

Hey Danny, we had alot of good times fishing together when Shannon and I were younger. We were just talking about the time we won the boat in the tournement and paddled across the lake. We were always finding some way to get into trouble. I wish that we could've all got together more in the past few years, but we'll see you again in Heaven someday. Thanks for being a good and very funny cousin, and don't worry about Shannon, we'll take good care of her.
