Dearest Goudreau Family-

We just learned of Daniel's sudden death and are so saddened by this news. Wrestling together on the Howard County Vipers was even more enjoyable because of people like Daniel. We lost touch after Daniel entered Calvert Hall as we have with so many. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time. We cannot begin to imagine what you are going through, but may it help you to know that we were pleased to have been associated with a fine family like yours.

With our deepest sympathy-

The Parson Family

Joy, Jay, Brooks and Brady

To the Goudreau Family,

Please accept my deepest condolences.I was deeply saddened to hear of your great loss. I graduated with Danny from Jemicy, and he was a wonderful person and friend. I regret to say that we didn't keep in touch after graduating, but I will always remember him. His smile could make anyones day brighter, and he always had a funny joke to make you feel better when you were down. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Sincerely yours,

Leela Dyer-Doyle

Dear Goudreau family,

You and Danny are in my prayers right now. Danny and I were in the same confirmation class at St. John's and he was a great person. May God's grace be with you in this time of hardship.

There is nothing I can say that will do justice to what has happend. Danny was an amazing person. He always made everyone laugh. I lost contact with Danny after he left Jemicy a move I will regret forever. My heart goes out to his family. I will never forget him.

Goudreau Family,



I send my deepest regards to you in this time of need. I know Danny personally, I went to school with Paul(graduated with), and Danny. We was a good friend to me while I had the pleasure of being with him. He always had a good attitude and always seemed like he was in a good mood and always smiling. He was a great kid and probably a great son, and i know he will be missed by your family and the Calvert Hall Community, especially the Xavier Program. Again, I send my deepest regards to you during this time of need.



Friend, and former Xavier buddy,
