I went to school with Danny, and it has been many years since I saw him. I will always remember his kind words and warm smile. I know God has received a special angel. To his family, May God Bless you and keep you in your hour of need.

To the Bodkins family: I was so sorry to hear about Danny. I hadn't seen him in many years since I moved to FL 20 years ago, but when I moved to Salem/Roanoke area with my family in 1981 Danny was living there too going to National Business College. We carpooled up to Culpeper to see friends or sometimes we rode together to Tech or Radford to see friends. Danny used to live with my brother, Doug, in Salem back in those days. I will always remember what a sweet guy Danny was and all the fun we had in high school. Godspeed, Danny, I know you're in a better place.

Perhaps they are not stars but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours down through and shines upon us to let us know they are happy.

Aunt Norine, Sam, Debra and Susan, may heaven's light shine down upon you and comfort you now in this time of sorrow. With Sympathy...
