Danny, although we never met your dad, we know he was a wonderful person from hearing you talk about him. He was also a terrific dad, because you are the proof. Diann, we know you never spoke of Dan's father as your father-in-law. You loved him and considered him to be your second dad, always referring to him as Dad B. Your many trips home showed how much you two loved and cared about him.Words are so insufficient when a loved one dies. It will take a while, but the time will come when you will be able to talk and reminisce about him without feeling sad. You were both fortunate to have had such an outstanding devoted Christian in your lives.Our condolences and love to both of you and to Danny's family.
