I am broken-hearted for you and your boys, Kim. You will be in my thought and prayers. But I am rejoicing that Dan is now pain free and in the presence of his Lord. And praising God for his promise that we will be together again. Love you Kim and holding you close to my heart. Dawn

Rest easy Dan Masterton. You fought hard, and remained strong. I will always remember those crazy good times and that great smile of yours. May there be endless rugby games and socials for you. Taken way too early...but never forgotten. Prayers for your entire family especially Kim and the boys. May God grant entire life upon you.

I remember the first time I met Dan! It was at Mulligan's Hollow in Grand Have where we had gathered for LMS Staff back-to-school picnic. I still vividly remember the sparkle in Kim's eyes as she introduced then-boyfriend Dan to her new colleagues. I could just tell they were meant for each other! Kim, I am so very sorry for your loss. I will continue to raise you, your boys, and your family up in my prayers. My sincere condolences to you at this painful time. Much love, Jeanne Mulder

Kim & boys -Know the pain your feeling now is the price for love. Let that be a glorious measurement. Use that pain as a sacrifice to the Lord. In Jesus Name.
