Dear Family & Friends:
On December 16, 2018, our grandchild, Danny Giger, was killed in a skiing accident in Colorado. He was just 21-years old and was scheduled to graduate from the University of Colorado at Boulder in May of 2019. Our whole family is still devastated at the loss of this beautiful young man, so full of life, curiosity and adventure, and so loved by his family and friends. We think of him every day. Please keep Danny and his family-Lisa, Jeff, Chelsea and Josh-in your prayers.
I am dedicating my Mississippi River canoe trip to Danny. Along with Ollie, he will be my Inspiration and Protector. I hope to begin the adventure on July 25, 2019.
Hug your children every day, and tell them you love them. They are on loan from God and can be reclaimed at any moment.
God is Good.
Bill
We are so sorry for your terrible loss.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and Danny’s family.
Best wishes on your upcoming adventure, Bill

Yes, Bill, telling our children that we love them while giving them a hug is the simplest, yet most powerful, action we can share. Hope to join you and Phil somewhere on the Mississippi trip dedicated to Danny and Ollie.
