I am so sorry to read of the loss of your loved one, Daniel.

The pain and grief you feel at this time is a natural thing. The perfect man, Jesus, wept when he lost his dear friend Lazarus. John 11:35 states he gave way to tears.

May your family find comfort in remembering how loving and merciful our God is. He will always remember Daniel.

Dear Drake Family,

Our sincere condolences in the passing of Daniel. May you find the comfort from God to help all of you throughout this difficult time. We have beautiful memories of Daniel, always a smile and never a negative word about anything. He would give you the shirt off his back. If you needed help with anything Daniel was there. Daniel was a kind gentle soul who had a heart of gold. We will miss you Dan! Until we meet again. Rest in Peace !


Much Love from the John Kruis Family
