Dan, I miss you so much, I do not know what to do with myself. You were more than a son to me. When you would visit and we would sit out back and talk just about anything, I feel we became real close friends.* I will miss you as long as I am on this earth. SEE YOU IN HEAVEN !!! Love you. Dad

I am so sad to hear about Dan. I guess I always pictured him going on forever. Denise, I can't imagine your grief. John, I know he couldn't have asked for a better best friend. I haven't seen you guys in many years, but I'm sending love from Florida. Please let me know if I can do anything at all.
