Danny & Family,
Terry and I want to let you know that we are deeply saddened by the loss of your dad. Although we did not know him personally we felt like we knew him through your stories.
As we grow older we realize that we will one day have to say goodbye to our loved ones. It is never easy but as you know "he is in a better place."

Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.
May you take comfort in knowing an angel is watching over you.
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family
