I first met you when Kirk and Dan were little boys. We didn’t see one another over the years as the boys grew but if we did , we would ask how all of the “ kids” were doing, all grown up. .. And Squirrels Heath was just the best street to live on… ( miss it)!
I fondly remember Dan walking briskly on Squirrels Heath with your dog, always a smile and a cheerful hello. It was always good to see them walk by.
Wishing you strength and hoping happy , wonderful
memories of laughter and family help you through .
I am sorry for your loss.
Hugs to you and your family, Suzanne. Love from Karen and Mike Reimringer
Suzanne, my prayers ask for you to find peace in all your best memories of your Dan, through out your many years together. Dan, Bev and I grew up almost every summer through our childhood. My Auntie and Godmother lived across the street from the Grace’s. Dan
always played the role of big brother…yes. True, and we were not having any if that…giggle. wWrapping you and your family, warm comforting hugs. “JoAnn” Bockeno Lyne.
Sue, our condolences go out to you and your family. You and Dan (and of course the children) have been wonderful neigh for so many years. A fond memory of Dan is of him setting up his telescope in the driveway on a clear night, and enthusiastically pointing out the stars and some of the visible planets. He is missed.
Our thoughts are with Daniel’s family and friends at this sad time.
I was fortunate to grow up alongside Danny and spend many days—and nights—at the Grace home. I’ll never forget Mr. Grace bringing out his telescope and patiently showing us the stars and planets. He had a rare gift for sharing his interests in a way that made you feel included and curious. He taught us a lot and will be missed. My heartfelt condolences to the entire Grace family.
