My brother slipped into the arms of St Michael and went home Jan 17 2011 at 10:55 pm.

I am sure Dan is up there with his Captain's uniform on, a big fat cigar in his mouth dishing out the commands.  Once a soldier always a soldier.

Anne Marie .....

You have been in our thoughts and prayers so much.  As you say, this has been one difficult New Year for you.  So sorry for your loss.  Nothing can take away that empty feeling you have right now.

My prayer is for you and your family to be surrounded by love and the wonderful memories you have.

Thank you so much for the comforting words.  You all mean so much to me.  I've cried and I've laughed through my tears remember all of the wonderful times.  All night long I heard his quiet laugh.  I'm just so relieved he went peacefully.
