We were Danise's neighbors and we loved her dearly. We recently moved away and the saddest part of moving was leaving Danise. She was a dream and my children loved her. It saddens my heart that we will not see her, but God sure does have a beautiful angel with Him now. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family. We love you.

A close friend if Bonnie's, I had started a tradition of eating lunch at William's every mothers day weekend after my mother passed. I make a special point to say Hello to Danise "Bonnie's Mom". I know she was probably approached by many during her working hours, but she always remembered who I was. I will miss her.

Although we only met twice I will always remember the deep love she held for her family, her energy and that great sense of humor. My heart felt sympathies go out to her entire family.
