To the entire Langdon family and Sharon Gillette:
I was to express my sincere sympathy to all of you, and know what you are going through. I too, lost my father, almost 5 years ago today, and never had a chance to tell him just how much he meant. I can recall my dad singing "only the good die young" from Billy Joel with a smile, and while tapping the car steering wheel like a drum. I never dreamed I would live life without him...but again, God must have needed another angel...and may he dance in heaven with my father. God Bless you, and may you find peace with knowing that so many care!

Becky,

I cannot express my deepest sympathy for the loss of your husband. Although questions will always remain as to why Dan had to go and be with God now, we can rest assure that the answer is as clear as the sun rising in the morning...God needed another angel up in heaven to help lead us. As the words the song, "If I Had Wings" says: If I had wings, I'd fly up to heaven; I'd look down from the clouds on everything; Then I could find all the things we've been missing; I would have all the answers if I had wings.

We can all look forward to the day when we are reunited in the future with Dan.

Dear Rebecca,
Words seem so empty at a time like this. Please know that we are praying for you and your children during this difficult time.
May God comfort you as only He can.

Though I never met Dan,I feel as if I knew him. My daughter, Kristy, was a friend of both Becky and Dan. Our entire family has been touched by Dan's passing. May the Langon family find peace in knowing that Dan has touched many, even those who never met him. May God bless you all.

Becky and all loved ones, I can't imagine the pain and loss you must be feeling now. During the hard times, know that we are all praying for your family. Feel strength from us. And hardest of all, allow people to help. Dan was a wonderful man and we'll still see him in your beautiful children.

To Becky and Sharon and all of the Langdon family, please know you are in the thoughts and prayers of many. Dan was a joy to know. I want to think that as the children grow, you will find bits of Dan shining through to remind you and them of the wonderful person that has been in their lives. Much love to you.

Becky, children, Brenda and Sharon (along with all other family and friends) Marc and I are so sad - we lost a good friend on Sunday. Dan and I had known each other since preschool and of course Marc and Dan became high school buddies and was honored to be in your wedding. This is so shocking, but you must remain "the rock" for your children. Dan touched many lives in his short time on earth, but will continue to help people in ways you won't even know...his love for God and his family will inspire those that knew Dan and ultimately can and will bring others to the Lord and those struggling with their own relationships with their wives or children may "step up" their roles and responsibilities as fathers/husbands. You will see the work of Dan continuing for years to come...we love you and ask for strength, courage and guidance to get you through this devestating time. - The Benson Family

To Becky and the Langdon family,

There are no words that seem appropriate enough to express our sympathy for you and your families loss. Although we met Dan only a few times, he left a sincere and remembered impression. He was a valued friend to our son Kevin and his Haslett buddies, Rick, Jeff, and Dan. He will be missed.

Love to you and all your family.

As a subcontractor who worked for Dan, my opinion is that he was a decent and fair man who only asked that he be treated fairly.
It is a shame to lose another honorable friend at such a young age
Rest in peace friend

To the Langdon Family-

Words cannot express the anguish that I feel for you at this time.

My husband (Brandon) also passed away while running a 1/2 marathon in San Jose, CA on 10/4/09 (he was one of 2 runners who died that day).

Please feel free to contact me if you need to talk: [email protected]

Sincerely,

Becky ~ I just can't imagine what you are going through right now. Please know that I am lifting you up in prayer and asking the Lord to give you peace and strength as you deal with this tragedy.
