To the Reuting and Harmon family,
I just found out about Marcia's passing and am so very saddened. I am thankful to know she is no longer suffering but so sorry to lose her as a friend. Marcia was a good good friend of my sister Mary's and also me and my husband Steve. We loved Marcia. Mary just passed away and now I can see those two laughing and having fun in heaven. Marcia saw more than her share of sadness in this world losing two of her children. So there is a reunion there as well. Rest in peace dear Marcia.

I knew Pat and the Parizek family from the neighborhood. They are a great family. Pat graduated with me from SHS. He often gave me rides to school. A really great guy. My prayers go to Nora and his family. Rest in Peace.

Every several years I would see Dan (Shorty) at Creighton games. He always sought me out , was extraordinarily friendly. It was always as if we were still in the same classes after all of these years. I'll see you soon Dan.

Mary, Christine, John, and Michael; we were completely stunned to hear the news about Dan. He was one of my best friends and was there for me for a couple difficult days in my life. However, I mostly remember the fun times. He made people feel special and we will miss him forever.
