Dan,
Unfortunately I never got to meet your mother except through our conversations at 3G4. Please accept my sincere condolence on her passing and you will be in my prayers for the adjustments you'll be making in the days to come. You know the doors are always open at the airport.
Sincerely,
Joe Kessler

Dan and Kathy --
I'm sorry I was not able to attend your mother's funeral service. I enjoyed keeping in touch with her through the years -- and I'm so glad she got to meet my daughter Katy's two children a few months ago when we happened upon each other at Burger King. In fact, Jonathan and Joanna are the age David and Katy were when your mother (and father) first met them and started babysitting them. And I know my son remembers the purple semi.
Our thoughts and prayers of sympathy will be with you as you mourn. The great sadness will end eventually, but the sweet memories of the many years will stay in your hearts.
