KINDRED SOULS ---
For sweetest whisper blows life among many kindred souls;
Seeking that which is common to all.
Along journeyed paths spring forth a renewed sense of hope.
Kindness is heard in the voices of children, and in the wisdom of the aged.
As one seeks an eternal friend;
Yes, one who stands firm in the light, and the shadows.
Count the value great, to find such.
Author: Phyllis T. Lee

Danny was a good friend, and I will miss him.

I speak as only one of the many neighbors in Church Hill who knew Danny for over twenty years. I rented from St. John's Realty in the 1980's and Danny always treated me fairly. He was my across the street neighbor until his untimely death and was always cordial. Please accept my heartfelt condolences at this very sad time.
