My deepest sympathy to all of the family. It’s been a long time since we have seen each other but still remember childhood memories growing up in the valley.
Love you sister girl. I’m so blessed and grateful you came into my life. Sharing our lives will always be something I cherish. Your memories of your Dan are going to be a gift that keep on giving. Dan will forever be watching over you and the doggies.
In His Hands,
Judy
Sara, I only heard of Dan’s passing yesterday. I send much love and prayers to you and Jesse. God bless and comfort you.
