Almost a year has gone by. Time seems to fly by so much faster as I get older. So many memories of all the years. Christmas is on its way...and to see our young ones happy and growing is the best feeling. I know All of Our Loved Ones who have passed before us, are saving a place for us, and watching over us here. There is a peace within me knowing that we will all be together again.
Shawn, Mike and Ronette~~my heart goes out to you, know that your Dad Loved you all so very much. He worried, wondered, and cried about your sorrows, and He laughed, told your stories, and felt great pride in all that you achieved. He wanted you to have a good life and be happy.
For My Sisters~~ We are all thinking of Dan and miss him so~~maybe through this message you can feel him standing by you giving you a hug, because I know Mom is standing right next to him giving us all her love. I love you all.
Listen to your Angels, they give us peace.

To Dan's family,
I just found out that Dan had passed. I had spent quite a bit of time with him over the past few months looking for a new home for he and his sons. I had recently found him a home that had just about everything he wanted. He was a great man and I know that he will be missed by family and friends alike. Dan - Rest well, my friend.
From all of us

The days are done, and you are gone, your sisters said good-bye, but not for long Dan, rest in peace and be with all our loved ones that are waiting for us, I know we will all be together again. We will miss you and think of you always, we will tell our stories and cry and laugh. You will be in our memories often. We Love you so.

Dear Family of Dan,
I graduated from Harding High School with Dan in 1965. I did not know Dan well but what I did know of him is that he was a very nice person and was very well dressed.
I too have been in the Insurance Industry for 40 years and the last 18 with Travelers Ins. Co. (Previously known as St. Paul Companies)
Please accept my most heartfelt sympathy for your loss and cherish the good times and the precious memories of Dan.

Unbelievable and shocked are the two words I thought of when I heard of Uncle Dan taking the journey to heaven so suddenly.
To my Aunts: Know to never ask the question why, since you won't ever receive an answer, only God knows that. Remember the memories, they will help you through the hurt and pain. Talk amongst yourselves and laughter will soon replace the tears.
To his children: Know that Dad will always be looking down on you guiding you through whatever endeavor you take in life.
To the Family: We have lost a great soul in Uncle Dan someone who would be available for bear hugs whenever you saw him. I guess mom missed him and wanted him there with her. Remember to always end a conversation with I love you, you never know if you will be able to say it again.
Finally, Uncle Dan: I love you dearly and miss you, give mom a hug and kiss from me.
Love your Niece, Dawn

I was lucky enough to know Dan through Farmers Insurance and would run into him on some occasions at a Farmers meeting. He always had kind words and always would make me laugh. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family in this sad time. May God help ease your grief

For my sweet little brother, Danny:
I will love you and miss you forever, or 'till we all meet again in heaven with Mom, Dad, Pat and little Carol Lou. I'm so glad now that I reminded you often how much each and everyone in the family loved you. You were a gift from God. Your sis, Judy (Hope Mom let Jesus give you a big hug first....)
