Thinking of you all as you are missing your Dad. We were there when you called our house to tell Dad what happened. The look on his face said it all. It is surely a hard time for you all and we hope that you will find peace with the loss of father. Thinking of you and sending lots of love your way!
Love, David, Heather, Zachary and Carter

Guestbook
We are thinking of you all Buster, Axeen, and Barbara, along with Aunt Betty and my dad, Dan, as you all remember the good times with one another. May you all find strength in these good memories. Love you all and God Bless. My boys are so sad for their Grandpa Dan and think of you all too. Be strong and know you are all being thought of and hugs being sent out from us. I will always remember Uncle Bud’s contagious laugh and the thoughtful cards he always sent to remember my dad at his birthdays and holidays. This year’s Christmas card was filled with laughter and fun, and this brings comfort to my dad now as he thinks of him. We are truly sorry for you all and wish you our love and strength. The grandkids will remember the fun with their grandpa laughing, fixing things, as my kids do with grandpa Dan, and the time they shared as family. God Bless you and keep you. Love, Becky (Olson) Peterson, Dan, and Owen, Blaine, Landon, and Nathan
