I love you so much honey, and if heaven had stairs, I would climb those stairs and bring you back again. With all my love, Your wifee. :) Jo. Smile for me.

My dearest Darlin, It is now...three months and I live for you and miss you so much. You left such a large imprint of you in my heart baby. I think of you everyday and not a moment goes by, that I don't think of the beutiful memories we shared. you do know, we were soul mates, so when you left you took a big part of me. Wait for me and pls know that I love you more than I have ever loved before. Why you had to leave, I'll never know, for we had just begun but I do know that your at peace...

My dearest darling, It's Christmas and your not with us today. We miss you hanging the stockings for the grandchildren with their goodies so they can play until we have our dinner with Harley & Matt and family. It's awful without you and pls. know we miss you so much and we can't wait to see you again. Merry Christmas baby.
Kids are doing fine. Growing up so fast. Matt & Harley miss you and think of you every day. Shine your light on us.

It's been a month gone by and nothing has really changed my darlin. I miss you so much and love you more than you will ever know. I'll keep you in my heart forever until we meet again. I feel your embrace and your love around me each and every day. Your wifee

Sorry to hear about Danny. Our thought and prayers are with all the family.

To my husband, my friend and most of all my life companion. The lord had a bigger calling and a larger purpose for you darlin. You are missed and will be missed and I was blessed to marry one of the most gifted people on this earth. It hurts to leave you but we still have our granchildren and the legacy that you leave behind. I love you so much and will never, never forget you my love. Rest in peace until we are reunited once again. Your wife, Joanna Marie Potratz

I was shocked to hear of Danny's passing. I grew up with him in Omro, Wisconson. He was such an awesome mechanic. I remember he came to my apartment one Saturday morning (early '70s) and asked if I wanted to take a spin on his new motorcycle! How could I turn that down?!! He was my brother's (Mike) best friend. He was also an extremely hard worker (as were all of his brothers). My prayers are with his family.

I wish I could be there this weekend. Please know my thoughts and prayers will be with you all. Uncle Dan was a one of kind and I am sure he is taking Grandma for a ride on his harley.
