Gail, I am so sad to read of Danny's passing. My memories of Danny are on the school bus when we were young. I always liked him because he was a happy young man and pleasant to be with. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your families as you grieve. I hope that the memories you share of him will help make this sad time a little more bearable. I know he will be missed.
