Dearest Amy and Children,

Words cannot express my feelings and broken heart over the events of this past week.   I have been very close this wonderful family for over 30 years and count them as my dearest friends.  Ann and Spencer have supported me through difficult times in the past and it breaks my heart seeing the sorrow they and you are experiencing. Their children are almost like my own.

Danny was always such a darling young man.  His smile would literally light up a room!  I remember when he left for his mission and the two of you were dating.  When he returned home from his mission, I remember taking the Howells family to the airport in my big suburban to pick him up so everyone could go together in the same car.  I will never forget it.  

My children remember Danny teaching them how to ride horses at their cabin on Thousand Peaks Ranch.  He was always so patient and careful with them.  We had great times together there when our children were growing up.
    
Ann has always kept me up on the news on her family over the years.  She was so proud that Dan was called as a Bishop in Arizona and his experiences as a Seminary teacher.   She has always spoke so highly of you Amy, and what a wonderful wife and mother you have always been.  It is a joy for a parent to see their children happily married.  Your marriage brought much joy to both Ann and Spencer.

The funeral services yesterday were so uplifting and tender.  It was a beautiful tribute to Dan and to you. 

Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.  

Love,
Brenda
