Not sure what to say?

I was shocked to hear that Danny had terninal cancer. I had seen Danny many years ago at the grocery store. He recognized me, but I am terrible with faces. As I gave him a hug and "How are you doing", I wondered of the years that past. I think the last time I seen Danny or his family was 20+ years ago. My thoughts and prayers are with him as he is in no more pain (Cancer takes everything out of you). I hope that the family and friends that remain will think about him often/

Steve, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I went all through school with Steve
and wanted to send my condolences to the family.

Happy Birthday Dan. I know that you are in a better place.

Steve, It's probably been 40 years since we've seen or spoken to each other, but I want you to know I am very sorry to hear about your brother. My prayers are with you and the family. Take care, Jay

We have known Danny for 18 years, he was and always will be one of the most genuine,caring and thoughtful friend a person could have. Our lives are richer for knowing him. Even though Danny is gone part of him will forever live in our hearts. Love, Theresa,Anthony,Christina and Carly Lauro (San Pedro, Ca)

Danny was the most genuine and sweet man I've ever met. He will be missed by so many people. I am so glad I was fortunate enough to have known him. He always put a smile on my face when I would see him. Only the good do die young and he was one of the best!!

Danny was, and forever will be, a part of my heart and soul. He will be missed every moment of every day….forever!

Sleep on beloved, sleep and take thy rest
Lay down thy head upon thy saviour's breast
We love thee well, but Jesus loves thee best
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

Until the shadows from this earth are cast
Until he gathers in his sheep at last
Until the twilight gloom is over passed
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

Until made beatiful by...

I will always remember Danny ("Pony Boy") as one of the sweetest people I've ever met in my life. He would do anything for anybody. They always say "only the good die young" and in this case, it sure is true. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
