Dear Teresa,

I just received an email from Kath Groh about this terrible tragedy. I cannot imagine how you are coping with the loss of Dan. I am with you in thought and am very saddened by Dan's passing.

Dear Teresa and Boys,

I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Danny's passing. The first thing that came to my mind was "Oh, dear God I hope he was saved." That's the first thing that comes to my mind since becoming "born again" myself 9 years ago. I automatically started beating up on myself for not reaching out and not knowing his circumstances. Little did I know that he and you were "born again" Christians. I shouted with joy. My sister told me of the wonderful service held for Danny, that if anyone didn't get touched by Almighty God, then they were just plain dead. I never knew he was sick. The last time I saw him was the night my brother Matty died and he came to the house. Now I know how he was able to contend with Matty. He didn't see his works and actions...Danny saw his heart and Matty had a big one. But it took a special person like Danny to see it. Your family are in my prayers. Matty and his friend Danny are back together again having the time of their life not even concerned about us. Can you imagine walk and talking with the Savior face to face and having discussions with King David and Paul? For eternity???? One day we will. Tresa, stay strong in the Lord and in His power and might. God bless, protect and prosper you. The Father has great things in store for you and the boys. Love Always

Dear Mrs. Fegan and sons,

It was a shock to hear of your husband's death. Your family was a very vital part of Santa Lucia School when your children attended our school. As taught by our Lord, He has a plan for us. We are asked to be obedient to His will. Your husband was a good man and has left a legacy for his sons to follow. May our Lord hold you and your family close to His heart as you grief the passing of a loving husband and devoted father. God bless.

I want to express my sympathy to the family as we could not make any of the services. I know how hard it is to lose a loved one. If there is anyhing Teresa or the family need, please contact us. Dan is now watching over his kids from heaven and that is not always easy for them to accept or understand. Danny's graduation was very special and he is a fine young man. His father is proud of him and will watch over him. Know that your family and fiends are here for you and all you have to do is ask for help when needed. If you need someone to talk with or just vent with, call a friend or family member. Everyone is willing to listen and help.

Teresa & Boys,

We are just stunned by this sad news and our hearts go out to you at this difficult time. Dan was always so full of life and laughter and will be remembered by so many. We were all lucky to know him. We're here if you need anything, or if you just need to get away for a while.

Dear Teresa and boys,

I met Danny from working the snow program with the City. Though I haven't had the chance to ever meet you and the boys, I know that he will be watching over you all from heaven above. I will always remember him as a man who loved his family dearly, a man who was always helpful to others, and with a great sense of humor. He will be missed by many...

May Yung

June 13, 2006

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

How can I tell you how sorry we are for you and the kids? How do you tell your very best friend that all will be okay? No words will be able to express our sorrow for you. We Love you very much and you know that we will be there for you not just today but forever.

Our friendship throughout the years has been wonderful. You were there for me when I needed you, and I will be there for you just like always. We will miss Dan very much! You know how I liked to tease him about our relationship.

Dear Teresa & Family,



May God bless you in this time of need. Dan was a great lovable person. He will be deeply missed. He always had a smile on his face and a joke to tell, and like always by the end of the joke you were laughing and smiling along with him. Teres, I know Danny is smiling down from heaven on you and on how strong you are through this hard time. Dan was always a pleasure to be around and I think that is why God called on him to be there up in heaven with him. With my deepest sympathy.
