I am proud to say that Daniel, Barbara and I have know each other since we were young teens in high school. Daniel and Barbara have been a very special couple for a lifetime. This short time of separation is in preparation for the eternity they have waiting for them. I will see you again old friend.

Thanks for welcoming your son's older friends with open arms! Daniel and Barbara greeted us as "family" whenever we were in their company. Daniel knew San Francisco like the back of his hand and was always a gracious host. We will always remember his friendly smile and entertaining conversation. Heaven now has a new socialite! Will miss Daniel but know he is getting a place ready for us and expect nothing but the best tour guide when we get there!
