What a wonderful and joyful soul. Dan and Wendy have been in our lives for quite some time. Over the last few years, we have grown close to them in so many ways. From walking endless trails with my mom (Shawna) to spending time sharing memories, Dan filled our hearts with continuous laughter and love. His memory will stay with us for eternity. He is not one who you could easily forget... His smile, his laugh, his joy, and his love for the outdoors will forever describe his memory. God is so good to have placed this man in our lives.
As my mom and I have struggled with loss over the years, Dan took our grief and reminded us that we are never without those who go before us. We had taken a picture of the beautiful bridge in Twin Falls, and when the photo was developed, there stood the prism of a light rainbow arching over the river. We decided this couldn't be anything but a message from our loved ones. Dan, with his extraordinarily creative mind, created a homemade frame and placed the picture inside. At the bottom he wrote:
"Those we love don't go away. They walk beside us everyday. Unseen, unheard but always near...still loved, still missed and very dear."
So true, Dan. Thank you for being you.
