Beautiful memories of wonderful family celebrations on Evergreen. Oh, and the happy smells and banter in your mom´s kitchen as she whipped up yet another kolacz. My sympathies to all the family who will miss you so very much because they regularly shared their lives with you.

Oh Dan, my cousin. What does one say at a time like this? We know and expect this to happen one day but I feel that that came way to soon. I will miss you and I will always have you in my heart as I do with Ray and Bob. God bless and keep you by his side.
