May the Hearer of prayer give the family the comfort needed during this time of grief (Psalm 65:2). The Almighty is a refuge for us in times of distress. May you find relief in His promises of life again for our lost love ones like Dan, found in His Word during this time of sadness.

Whenever I think of Blu, I can't help but smile! His own smile lit up his entire face - usually due to some joke he just said or pulled!!
Oh - who couldn't love Dan? He was an amazing man - so smart, good hearted and TRULY caring of those he worked with and who worked for him.
I am so happy I saw him in December at DPR's Christmast party at Tommy's Tap - stayed to the end, no surprise!
Much love and prayers to Carrie and family.
