Drawing Of Dan
By Sandra Derrick
Daniel Grayling Fogelberg
August 13, 1951 ~ December 16, 2007
Ever On is dedicated to Dan Fogelberg and his artistry in song... ...a place to meet and talk of our love of the music, of the lyrics, of the way his hands seem to effortlessly and delicately become one with the instrument and of his voice... ...that of a herald angel. Dan Fogelberg creates a sound that takes you to your beginnings and beyond, takes you to a place of timelessness, mystery and wonderment... ...a place where dreams become reality if only for the span of that particular song... ...but... ...those few moments are a gift from beyond our memories... ...and once again we are in the heavens... ...if only for the moment.
No other singer/songwriter in
the world
can paint an image in words
as eloquently as Dan Fogelberg.
Ever On was picked for the name after his song by the
same name.
It is a travelers prayer.
May you carry it with you as you travel the web.

Dear friends,
Dan left us
Sunday, December 16, 2007 at 6:00 a.m. He fought a brave
battle with cancer and died peacefully at home in Maine with
his wife Jean at his side. His strength, dignity, and grace
in the face of the daunting challenges of this disease were
an inspiration to all who knew him.

I'm
so grateful to all of you who wrote to Dan through The
Living Legacy website with your stories of how his music
touched your lives; with your uplifting words of
encouragement; with your declarations of admiration and
friendship.
Dan was a strong and private man, but even the mountain must
tremble, and during the toughest times he gained solace and
comfort from reading your letters and learning that his
music had been a source of light in your lives. Greatest of
all though, was the feeling you gave him that his time here
had served a purpose.
I hope you will find some peace in knowing that the joy and
comfort you found in his music winged it's way back to him
through your words, prayers, and good wishes.
Thank you,
Jean Fogelberg

A Valentine Song
In February of 2005, Dan went to Colorado for a few
weeks to supervise some ranch business and to do some
work in the studio. I stayed in Maine to oversee the
final construction phase of our Maine house. It was
hard for us to be so far apart for so long, especially
since we would miss Valentine's Day together.
Thanks for all of your support, encouragement, and
condolences. Jean

"CONTINUE DAN'S QUEST / BE INFORMED / GET TESTED"
Designed by Jean Fogelberg exclusively for the Prostate Cancer Foundation. The symbolism of the design: ~ The Scottish sword - Dan was half Scots-Irish (as many of you know, his mother was born in Scotland); he fought a valiant battle against cancer; and he was my knight in shining armor (and apparently, many of you felt the same way). ~ The Fleur-de-lis (flower of life) was used in Scottish heraldry, and is said to symbolize many things, but among them: purity, light, life, and hope. ~ The guitar is a rendering of one of Dan's favorite Stratocasters, used on stage over many years. ~ Deep forest green and gold were Dan's favorite color combination. From Jean Fogelberg: Dan and I battled Advanced Prostate Cancer for three and a half years. Those were difficult days, but during that time we were bolstered by the knowledge that research was being done, and the hope that a cure would be found "any day now". That cure didn't come in time for Dan, but there are thousands of men out there right now hoping and praying a cure will come in time for them. The Prostate Cancer Foundation funds research at over 150 organizations all over the world. They have funded over 1,400 projects aimed not just at early detection and a cure, but also at finding treatments that will put less stress on a man's body and allow him to live a more active, pain-free life while fighting prostate cancer. Two of the research projects they are funding right now are being conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital, where Dan was treated. You can help the PCF continue Dan's quest for a cure by making a credit card, PayPal, or check donation. Large or small, every donation is appreciated. Donations in Dan's memory have exceeded $50,300. To date, downloads of "Sometimes A Song" have raised over $7,000 and the "Quest" lapel pin has raised over $16,720. Thank you in advance for your donation, for paying tribute to Dan, and for helping to further prostate cancer research in his name.

PROVERBS
CHAPTER 31
A
virtuous woman is priced above rubies.
10 ¶ Who can
find a avirtuous
bwoman?
for her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart
of her husband doth safely atrust
in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12 She will
do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13 She
seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her ahands.
14 She is
like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15 She ariseth
also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household,
and a portion to her maidens.
16 She
considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands
she planteth a vineyard.
17 She
girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
18 She
perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth
not out by night.
19 She layeth
her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the adistaff.
20 She
stretcheth out her hand to the apoor;
yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21 She is not
afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are
clothed with scarlet.
22 She maketh
herself coverings of tapestry; her aclothing
is silk and purple.
23 Her
husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders
of the land.
24 She maketh
fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto
the merchant.
25 Strength
and honour are her aclothing;
and she shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She
openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the
law of akindness.
27 She
looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the
bread of aidleness.
28 Her
children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also,
and he praiseth her.
29 Many
daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
30 Favour is
deceitful, and abeauty
is vain: but a woman that bfeareth
the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
