Thank you Steven. I'm glad you were able to go the Dan's funeral. Your descriptions were vivid, I felt as though I was there too. I appreciate you taking the time to include us. A lot of us loved Dan every bit as much as we love Dewey & Gerry. Dan's death brought my brother's death to the surface. My brother was brutally murdered by a serial killer. I consider/ed my older brother a successful man. As terrible as it was, he loved the Lord and his family and friends. He loved America and Dan. And his voice was even better than Dan's Gerry's or Dewey's, (no bias here ; ). I know he's where Dan is. Some say "time heals all wounds." Wrong. One simply accepts, more readily, the loss and pain. (Just mho) Dan or Tom answered my e-mails too. He said he liked reading my posts and that I ended them with, "Blessings". I was chastised for using "Blessings, Dewster, Joyster, the One Gerry, and other personal terms of endearment. I didn't want the hassle so I just gave it up. It wasn't enough for me to think it important to state what was in my heart, despite what Dan had said. Now, It's bittersweet to say that Dan's passing gave me the courage to use it again. I bought Dan's book. It was sent to me signed: " Ocean, Thank you for supporting the Band, Dan Peek". He really loved D & G; even more so after he left the band. He was whole and new when he left America. He didn't leave because he was messed up. He left because he wasn't. I can imagine that must have been an agonizing thing to go through. For the 40th Anniversary, I asked Dan if he would send Weuns' Inc. pictures of himself that we hadn't seen that were more on the personal and solo side of his life. He sent some great photos, including the precious photo of he and Catherine's wedding. I treasure that. We've shared most of those photos with America and Dan Fans. There's one he sent that we didn't share. I decided to keep it just for me. It's signed, "Blessings, Dan Peek". I keep it in my ready pack all the time to remind me where true North is. It reminds me not to settle. Dan didn't compromise his soul to gain the world. Why should he or anyone else? Thank you Al and everyone who has contributed to this thread and gone outside their comfort zones to express their loss. It's helped me not only with the healing process regarding Dan, but with healing myself of some of my ugliest imperfections. Blessings ; ), O
