I want to express my feelings about this day’s events in the lives of my family.

This morning we observed the burial of my daughter’s husband, Dean Daley. From the first moment we began making arrangements, Chris Blackburn of Callahan-Edfast Mortuary made us comfortable and at ease about everything that needed to be done. He moved us through all the decision-making without rushing us and was available with answers to questions then and through the burial this morning. The spirit of excellence was evident everywhere in the mortuary.

At the veterans’ cemetery, the Grand Valley Honor Guard presented all their maneuvers with confidence, compassion and excellence. They helped the family through a very emotional time of their lives.

Teri and the children — Tom, Marc and Roxanne — are truly grateful for the wonderful people who served them at the mortuary and at the cemetery. Our thanks to them and to all others who participated in the services.

We give honor to whom honor is due.
