Dear Dan,
I wish to extend my heartfelt sympathy on your mother's passing, Dan. Having lost my mother three years ago, I know how very much a mother is missed. Though a father is special, too, I just think mothers are so very special.
Both of your parents were great people, Dan. They both gave so much back to the city of Clinton, its citizens, Clinton High in various manners of support. By doing so, they will both be remembered as significant by so many, many people. And than, Dan, is the way we should strive to live - to be significant instead of just worrying about success. I wish you, Connie, and your children the very best as you begin to recover from such a hard loss. I will remain hopeful that the wonderful memories of your mother and father, the cherished stories that you recall, and the support you give one another will aid in the process of healing. Take care, Dan and Connie. Be well my friends. Sincerely, Bill Dawson
