To Carla, Larry, and the Sizer/Balcon family...the vision of Dane in that yellow mustang keeps flowing through my mind. :) I sent a token of my sentiment for your loss along with a note but I really want to leave this with you all: I know not your pain yet I feel it too; I know not what to say really so I'll just stay in prayer for you, but what I am sure of is that ONLY GOD KNOWS and Dane is OK. Bless you all, Kim

We met Dane and Andrew on a very cold night in 2006. They were selling Entertainment books for a school fund raiser. Dane shared with us that he was going to join the Army - it was his dream. He kept calling me "mam". Even though I am old enough to be called "mam",I told him he could call me Arva. He said, "sorry, it was just the way I was raised." His parents raised him to be a gentleman and to follow his dreams. He was an angel on earth and is now one of God's angels.
