Although I hadn't seen Dante` in years, he would occasionally run through my mind and I would reminisce about our car selling days at Rick Hendrick Honda. He was a fun loving dude and always provided laughs for everyone! Upon learning of his passing this week, I was saddened and shocked. My prayers are with you all.

Vann,
Sorry to hear of the death of your husband. I would never belittle your grief by saying I know how you feel. I could never imagine....but it is so good to know we have a loving God who knows what you need, and His Grace is sufficient. Memories are one gift from God that death cannot destroy. Keep your husband's memory alive and share all the happy moments. We will continue to pray for you and should you need me when you get back to work, I am just down the hall in Suite 4256. God Bless You,

In the face of death there is no one to blalme, no sign, no job, no certainty, no cure in sight, and no telling what God had in mind.
I'm sure that your days have been and will be; filled with crying, worrying, questioning, and very little sleep. BUT through the midst of it all, just listen for that still small voice of a true and loving heavenly Father whose everpresence will bring you peace in the midst of your grief.
Londa, I can't say, as many do, "I know what you're going through" becasue I have never lost a spouse or my children's father...but the one thing I do know is that God knows your pain and He alone can heal those wounds. Matthew 5:4
You & your family are in my love and prayers. I am but a phone call away.
Becasue of Calvary Minister Janet Odom, Johns Island, South Carolina

I had the opportunity to work with Dante at Sprint, North Charleston. He was a great man. He was funny and always had a positive attitude. I will keep you all in my prayers. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. We will miss and love you always Dante.

I can't describe the emotions that I am feeling for you and your family Vann... This is definately unbelievable to us, but GOD is the only one that truly understands. Hold on to his unchanging hand and you and your family will get through this loss in due time. My deepest condolences.....

On Tuesday morning, God entered His garden in heaven. He saw a beautiful flower that was full of the morning dew. That flower was fully bloomed, it was absolutely beautiful. God said to Himself "I must pick this one for Me, it is too beautiful to be left in the garden". God decided to place that beautiful rose in a vase in His Heavenly Home, where it will forever remain in His presence.
God's Words declares that "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". We did not know Dante on a pesonal level, but we had the pleasure of being in his presence at many family functions in the past. He truly had a "Heavenly Voice". When I heard that he had passed, my mind went directly to that voice and how I felt in my Spirit that we was not singing in the heavely choir.
How and why God allows certain things to happen, we may never know. One thing we know for sure is that God never makes a mistake. Dante was placed in the earth for a little while for everyone to share. He passed through with Christ in his heart, from what I know of him.
Family, if you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you will see Dante again, make no mistake about it.
God is Sovierign. He sees and knows all things. He knew that this day would come. We can determine our arrival, but we will never be able to determine our departure, only God can!
Hold you heads up, Donte made you pround!!!! I truly believe in my heart that eventhough he left sudden, he was prepared to meet God!!! GOD BLESS!!

My heart hurts. I don't whether I should be mad or sad or both. I lost a good friend and while my pain could never equal the pain that his family is enduring; it is pain nonetheless. Rest in peace, I will see you again.

Love Ray.
