Personal note from Daniel's Family

Thank you so much to everyone visiting this site. We are still pulling together funeral information and other things we want to share about Daniel. Please subscribe below if you'd like to be notified when more information is added. As of this week there are allowed at the Fort Snelling memorial service only 10 people. Hopefully this will change in the next few months. An outdoor event is also in the works for the summer months. A lot of this depends on the Covid restrictions. Please continue to keep in touch with this site for updates.

Updates

Update from March 1, 2021

Just an update for the Celebration of Life service. I have rented the pavillion at Cleary Lake Regional Park, 18106 Texas Avenue in Prior Lake on May 22. We have the pavillion for the day and will hold our get together from 11:00 to 2:00 or beyond. There will be lunch served with time for memories and just talking to everyone. The park has Covid restrictions for this get together of 43 people, but I think we can figure out how to manage this. This is a great park so you can use the park for a walk around or some playtime with the kids. Please RSVP to graceswan7@gmail.com so we know about how many will be there. Thanks you for all the cards and calls.
