You touched our lives more than you'll ever know. Your thoughtfulness and love for us was immeasurable. You always brightened up a room for me and now your light will shine in my heart, forever. I love you Dan, always.

Dan, my family and I will be cherishing your memory and I'll personally be thanking you for every day I get to spend with them, for without your guidance, wisdom, love, and support when I needed it the most; I wouldn't have a family at all. For that I'll always be grateful and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as long as I'm here. Love, Chris Nelson
