Dear Joan and William, I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your dear son Dan. I'm sure this must be a difficult time for you. I know that both of you always took such wonderful care of Dan. I remember his visits to my office years ago and what a wonderful young man he was. I will remember you in my devotions. Sincerely, Dr. Bruhl
