Dear Dan, Joyce and family
We are so sorry for your loss. Sounds like your mom,Dan, had a wonderful and productive life doing things for others and enjoying her friends and family. When I lost my mom as painful as it was (and still is) I feel so blessed to have had her for so many years. Some are not as fortunate. This is a bittersweet time. Hard to lose her but sweet to have had her and your wonderful memories. May God give you His peace and the joy of her love. God bless!!!
