Some fourty years ago, I delivered the Richmond News Leader to the Danielson's and considered them to be two of my best customers. Even now, when I pass by their old house in Worthington Farms to visit my mother who still lives in the neighborhood, I often thought about Mr. and Mrs. Danielson, wondered how they were doing and remembered their kind ways. I am indeed sorry to hear that now they have both passed, but I know they touched many lives (as they did mine) as they went through life's journey together. I will always remember them and be grateful that I had the opportunity to know them.

Sue,
I would like to extend my sympathy to you and your family at the passing of your father, and of your mother last year. I just happened to be looking at the paper online and the name Danielson jumped out at me. It has been ions since we've seen each other, but I still remember the good times we had at HHS in business class. Know that you will be in my prayers, and I pray that your parents may be enjoying one another again in the presence of our God. Love and prayers,

Sue, I didn't put my thoughts together until I saw your dad's picture. I've known him for a long time and he was such an outgoing, friendly person. Please accept my sympathy on your dad's passing.

Bob and Dot were wonderful people, and we enjoyed many fun times with them while serving with the Chesterfield Jaycees (not Richmond). We were always taken with Bob's sense of humor and shared a laugh at every opportunity. He took great care of our loved ones when they were surrendered to his capable hands, and he always told us that he would be the last one to "let us down". Since that won't be happpening, we commend him to the hands of God and pray for his peaceful homegoing and the reunion with his family and friends who have gone before. (We are in Florida and will not be able to attend the services.) Godspeed, Bob!
