Dan,

I will always miss you and remember all the times we had. You were the only person who could make me laugh when nothing could put a smile on my face.I will always miss our hours of conversations, and when i would hear you call my nickname you made up for me. You are the greatest. You will be in my heart forever. To me you were a best friend. I love you and always will. See you eventually.

Dear Busa family,

I was so sorry to hear about Dan passing away. I never had the pleasure of having him as a student, and I only got to know him a bit, but I did learn what a great young man he was. His courage and strength through such difficult times are an inspiration for us all. I was so happy he made it to the RHS awards assembly to see and feel how much he was loved here at Ridgewood. I will always remember him fondly, and I hope that your happy memories of Dan will sustain you through this period of loss.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all who had the privilege of knowing Dan. I personally only got to know Dan through the loving hearts of his friends, especially Anthony Benigno. May fond memories help to ease the pain and sadness.

Dear Mrs. Busa and Family,

I extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family. Dan was a remarkable young man who perservered in his struggle to combat his illness. He never gave up. He is an inspiration to us all. I know he struggled daily to attend school and how hard he fought to traverse through our crowded hallways. Dan never failed to smile or greet me with warm enthusiasm. He was a great young man who will certainly be missed.

With heartfelt sympathy,

Sgt. Sue
