I am so sorry for your loss and know of the grief you are feeling. I, too, am very sad, as I would not be where I am today if Dan & Connie had not brought me into this wonderful church. He was a wonderful man and is now with our Heavenly Father. You are constantly in my prayers. Love you folks so much.

Dan,
Can you sneak out and golf a few with me after work? I know Connie will understand and no doubt hold dinner for you. Not this time? Then you will surely be missed my friend.

Connie, I will never forget how thoughtful, kind and considerate he was of others feelings. He always made me feel like I was important, talking to him was like being in the temple, I always felt at peace and loved. I miss him already, and look forward to when we can see him again.
We love you, and are praying for the Savior to hold you in the hollow of His hand, and for you to feel His great love for you, and be at peace. Remember you are not alone. You are loved more than I can express in words, warm hugs, Joyce Harris
