No words can express the depth of our sorrow. Chani, Yitzy, and I, will have only good memories of our dear cousin, Danielle Ann. Anyone who knew her will miss her beautiful smile and cheerful laugh, as she truly exemplified “Greet everybody with a warm, cheerful, and pleasant countenance." (Ethics of Our Fathers / Pirkei Avot 1:15). Wish I could be there with you now during this difficult time.

I'm very sorry for your lose, and our community's lose. No words can express feelings in a tragedy like this lose.

I watched Danielle grow up from 8 years old into the smart 25 year old young lady who had a wonderful future.

She has now rejoined our Maker with a different future.
