Sorry to hear of Daniel’s passing. I know he will be missed. Will be thinking of Ann, Margaret and the Lawrence family in the days ahead.
I didn’t know Dan until 4 years ago. In that short time we shared stories and adventures of fishing etc. I learned he was a good man who would do what he was able to help those in need. It was very dis heartening to lose Dan, and yet he told me he just wanted to go home. I have to believe he is there now. Sorry we never got to that fish fry we were planning Dan. RIP Kate
