Amy Bergin


April 2005 – teaching Molly how to drive Grandma Doc’s boat


November 2003 – meeting for dinner on a flight layover in Atlanta.


Oh how he loved our kids…


Summer 2003 – the bond of family can never be broken (Dan, Mike, Patti, Tim)

I am Dan’s sister in law, married to Mike and when Dan came to our house believe it or not he rested. Our home in North Atlanta was his home away from home during flight layovers and training with Delta Airlines. Often we did not know he was coming until the day or hour he arrived but we always made the trip to pick him up at MARTA. It was a great adventure for our kids to go pick up their Uncle Dan. He preferred to stay at our house over a hotel even though we lived 2 hours from the airport and we loved the surprise visits. Often he would be jet lagged and would hole up in the basement, sleep, soak in our hot tub and do his yoga and stretching. His flight bag now rests in our dining room and it feels like he will emerge from the basement looking for breakfast scraps and take over the blender mixing up something interesting. We all deeply miss him this holiday season.

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. Psalm 62:5
