Not sure what to say?

Sarah, Michael & the rest of the Ius family,

Today was a very sad day for me, I heard of Danny's passing from Corey (Fink) Starrs. I grew up with the Ius family and you were like family to me 50 + years ago. Sharon & I use to stop in the Produce stand to see Danny, Dave & Herm on our way up to Northern California & Oregon. Even though Danny met this terrible illness he always had that smile that I remembered since he was running around the Little League field when Dave was playing. ...

So sad to hear of my cousin Danny's passing. We will attend the service on Jan 4.

To The Ius Family. I'm really sorry to hear if Dan's passing.it was an honor to have met him. He was a kind, generous, always with a smile. My heart is aching for your loss. He will be greatly missed. May he be at peace.
