Danny: you are missed by more than you would have realized. I recall camping trips, playing games around the dinner table, and you and Kelly dragging me out to experience "black Friday" insanity! You did an awesome Santa, too. Be at peace and stay out of trouble up there. We will all see you again soon. Loved that hug I got from you just before Christmas when we ran into you while visiting with the reindeer.
