Jerod and I were always so excited when you came to grandma’s for a visit…we always had so much fun together. Now you are gone and I am sorry beyond words that I did not make the time to see you before God took you home.
It was a very nice service celebrating Dan’s life , the tribute to Dan’s life was very touching.
Ann,
Although we met only once, at the time of your mother’s death, Kelly has kept me posted of Dan’s ups and downs throughout his illness.
Please know that we are so sorry for your loss. I have two grown sons and in truth, find it hard to imagine wearing your shoes.
You will continue to be in our prayers.
Gail
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
