I did not have the honor of getting to know Danny like many of you did, but from my first day at Selene I knew he was special. I introduced myself to this nice, handsome gentleman sitting at his desk, working diligently and always, always with a smile on his face. You do not have to know someone very well sometimes to know the soul inside of them and the joy, laughter, and comfort they can bring to their loved ones. God blesses us all in his own way and on his own time, and there is a loss for us here on earth, without Danny, for his existence did leave a mark in this world. Maria Mendizabal, Selene Finance.
