So very saddened and shocked to hear of the passing of Daniel. Although I did not know him all that well, what I did know of him was that he was a very nice young man. Please accept my condolences at this time...

Colin and Jenny. So sorry to hear of your loss. It doesn't seem that long ago that Daniel was just a little chap and he just enjoyed life with no clear idea of what he wanted in the future. My how that changed when he left school and started work. How proud you were of his achievements and then his marriage, and subsequent grandchildren. My thoughts are with you and Meghan and family.
