Monday morning Pinochle just won't be the same without you. Will miss your dry sense of humor and card playing.
Bonnie and Jennifer, My deepest sympathies on the loss of Dan. I remember many talks with him on Highland Avenue, and when I would baby-sit Jennifer and Danny. May your memories get you through the tough times. Barbara (Kennedy) Payne
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Aunt Bonnie and Cousin Jennifer. Rest in eternal peace, Uncle Dan!
Jennifer: Condolences on the passing of your dad.He will be in our thoughts and prayers.
I'm so sorry for your family's loss. I personally know the loss of both a mother and grandmother, and the pain can seem overwhelming. However I found comfort in the Bible's promise for the future. Acts 24:15 speaks of a resurrection, a time when God will reunite us with our loved ones again! I hope this helps bring some comfort in this time of sorrow.
