We are so sorry to hear of Danny's death. When I think of Danny, I remember the sweet smile he always had on his face and his mellow nature. All of us "girls", Jeanette's friends, thought that he was so much older than we. Now, I see that it was only a few years!
Our sympathy and love go out to the Lazar family.
