Betsy,

I just heard about Danny and felt a real pain in my heart. I've known the two of you forever and was so happy years ago when you both called me on your anniversary. You were both meant to be together and I'm glad you had the time you did. Please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Knowing Danny the way I did, he will be forever on your shoulder guiding you.
Fondly,
Sandy (Searles) Brewer

Betsy and Family,

It was with deep sadness when we heard of Danny's passing. We wish you all the best in the times to come, although they won't be easy the next few days you have to cherish the time you had with him. He was a great person who brought allot of joy to this earth.

Betsy:

I want to offer my deepest sympathy to you and your family on
Danny's passing. Although I only became acquainted with Danny a few years ago through my brother Gene, I feel as though I have known him all of my life. He was always fun to be around, especially on the golf course and had a keen sense of humor. Although he is gone from us, his spirit will undoubtedly remain and we will cherish the many memories we have of him. Our prayers are with you and your family at this most difficult time.

Betsy and family,
We are saddened by the passing of Dan. What a great guy he was! Some of our fondest memories of Cedar St. are all the good times with you two. Jack always talks about the Halloween that he and Dan dressed up and went out trick or treating!
Please know that you are in our throughts and prayers. Danny was one of the "good guys".
