The Bray Family,
I am deeply shocked and saddened to learn of Dan's passing. Dan possessed a kind heart, quick smile, and friendly demeanor.His posts about his daughters accomplishments showed how much he loved them and the pride he felt in them. Ginny and I send our prayers to you all and hope that your memories of family gatherings and special times help ease the sorrow you must be feeling. God bless.

Jeb, Barbara, Stephen, Geoffrey, and the entire Bray family, I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you. I didn't know him well, but in the years I worked with Jeb, Barbara and Stephen, when he would stop into the office he was always kind and was always smiling and happy.
