Rest in peace Dan!

Today i found out that my manager Dan Dudley died. He was on a cruise with his wife and died in his sleep yesterday. Dan was a wonderful man and was always concerned about his staff. He was always checking up on me after my dance teacher died and acted as if he really cared about my well being! I am deeply saddened at his passing, and pray for his family and all of those who got the pleasure of working with him. He was the reason our store ran so well, and his presence will be greatly missed. He always made me smile, and i will miss coming into work in the mornings and seeing his smile! One of the things i remembered about him was when he brought me a bag of grandma cookies, the iced oatmeal ones. He knew they were my favorite and he knew i was having a hard time. He always knew when his employees were havign a rough time and always gave us space. When we got off track or didn't treat a customer as well as we should have, he was always understanding and just talked us through it and made us feel better about ourselves! It is times like this that i am eternely grateful for the plan of salvation. It is great to know that we will see our loved ones again, and that Dans family will see him again. They were sealed in the temple, and i am just so very thankful that we have the oppertunity to be sealed to our families. I really loved that man, and he was a great example to me. Thank you Dan, for being a wonderful friend and an excellent boss! You will be greatly missed! Love and will miss you tons Dan.
