Geneva and family,
My sincere sympathies to you all in your loss. It did not take long for Dan to warm my heart from a business contact to a friend as well as the love of his life, Geneva. He truly will be missed by the many lives he has touched. When I see a beautiful sky, I will recall his many conversations about his love to paint. The love he had for you Geneva and his precious family is a treasure that hopefully will comfort your hearts.
