To everyone who attended my grandpa's service thank you for coming and sharing your memories with us, the family. I couldn't have honestly asked for a better service honoring and remembering my grandpa.

My deepest sympathies to the family of Arthur Dansby. Although in the family for a short time, Arthur and his wife Marie were the caretakers of my first child, Michele when I took a job outside the home and spoiled her rotten. They have always been in my thoughts and loved deeply.
