Julia & Sarah:
Words cannot express the sadness in our hearts for the loss of Dan. He was a wonderful neighbor and friend and he will be greatly missed. He taught us enough lessons for a lifetime, and for that, we are truly grateful. We were so privileged to know, and have as a friend, such a fine man. I know from the things Dan said to us that he had a great love for you and Sarah. Continue to remember all of the good times we all shared with him. We are here for you and love you both very much.
