Dearest Daneen and Indian,
Words cannot express how very saddened we are at this time of your loss. This pain you feel now will one day be replaced by fond memories and even laughter. Having never met your Dad/Grandpa, I will look foward to one day, having a drink with you both, and honoring his memory while you both share your stories! (Kevin will have to fill me in for now)
Love and hugs to you both and your entire family,
