Mrs. Spencer, Derron, Delrick, and family: Dan was a friend of mine since meeting at Central Missouri State University. Although our lives led us apart over these last few years, I have so many memories of the good times we shared. My heartaches to know that I can´t pick up the phone and text or call to catch up with him. I am thinking of you all.
