I just heard about Dan passing away and I am very sorry. I have some great memories of spending time at the house on both Tompkins Street and 2nd Street. Your family was like a second family to me and I know that Dan was a great father to his children. He had a good sense of humor and I always felt welcome. My thoughts are with you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We pray for the Father's strength and presence to be very tangible in your lives during this time. Your family has been such a blessing to me.
As we hung Christmas ornaments this months and shared their stories with Jude it was with great joy to think of your family.
