Online Condolences From: Dianne Horton   Swanville Relationship:  friends and neighbors Dan and I were so sad to hear of this news. We won't be able to attend the gathering on Saturday because I am doing an Art Show at Southwest Harbor this weekend. We stay at Danson and Shannon's house in Trenton with Adria(9) and Zoe (7). Dan helps and calls himself a "roadie". He lugs the watercolors,display panels, supplies and tent, etc. We are so sorry that we can't be there with you on Saturday. Our thoughts are with you all and the great memories.
