Joyce,
A Virtuous Woman is a CROWN to her husband... this is how I know you. Every time you spoke of him, a smile appeared on your face... I remember when you told me how you two met, you said you loved him very much... every day when I saw you at work, your mind was always occupied with GOD, your husband, your children - the Love for your family. Daniel was a Blessed and Lucky Man!

Joyce , my prayer is Gods grace would be known to you , in this time , and His peace will reign in your heart . My brother was fortunate and blessed to have had you as a wife to companion threw this life's challenges . His light truly was made brighter by you . And my thoughts are for you Ian , the fathers role doesn't always seem to be the nice guy , but this is Gods way of sternest and nurture for balance. Which I'm sure you're learning with your family. My brother Danny probably didn't realize how much I looked up to him and loved him. He will be deeply missed.

Although we've never met & you may have never heard my name, I grew up with the Croker family in Canajoharie, by the grace of God, Angel (Angela) and I have remained best friends through all these years. My memories of Danny are all of utmost respect and always looked up to him as we all grew up together in the neighborhood. He was an older brother that kept an eye on us. I am deeply saddened and wanted to send condolences. Lean on family and friends to help you with your grieving, there are some things in life that will never make sense.
