Danielle Klopmeyer

Sending loving thoughts, Dani! May your dances of joy abound in spirit. Vanessa, May you always be surrounded by your mother’s protective love.

Dear Dana,

I cherish the long talks with you and Brianna at Babouch between shows! Didn't it seem like we were all having therapy sessions?

You were always so complimentary of Brianna and I and our dancing, but what about you??? Remember how much I teased you for being so hard on yourself all of the time?

Good fortune smiled and we were finally able to dance together several times...it was entrancing and magical.

Remember when Nasario passed...

Vanessa,
I just found out about your mother's passing. I am in shock. My prayers go out to you and your family. I'll let some of the others in the pirate reenactment community know as well. Take care.

To Vanessa,
My name is Brianna. I met your mother at Babouch where I dance. Your mother was the sweetest and kindest woman I ever met. It was an honor to have known her. She loved you so much and always said how proud she was of you... how you were growing up so fast and how beautiful, smart, and motivated ...so mature at a young age. She's looking after you right this very minute. I want to tell you to continue to be strong, you have your mothers strenghth. You need only to be still,...

You will always live in our hearts and prayers.

To Vanessa and Danielle's Mom---I worked with Dana at Babouch. We shared many conversations about life, dancing and tarot reading. She loved you so much Vanessa----you are her whole world, and her spirit is always with you. Such a sweet person Dana was---we talked on the phone alot--didn't see each other that much, but we loved having our phone visits--I'm so glad to have been her friend. Everyone who worked with her at the restaurant loved her.

Vanessa,
We will miss your mom very much...She was a wonderful person and will remain in our hearts and you in our prayers.She loved to dance, smile, and make everyone around her happy.

Your family at Babouch Moroccan Restaurant

Dear Vanessa and Family,

This news is such a shock to me; Danielle was one of the kindest people I have ever met. She was also so brave, and her devotion to Vanessa was inspirational. Everyone who met Danielle loved her. Students from our old class still ask about her so many years later. She was talented and genuine.

I wish I would have known or wish there was something I could do.

Vanessa, you know you are a very special friend to me and I hope you will call...

To Vanessa and family: Your Mom was a ray of sunshine when she walked into our salon with Cookie. Her smile brightened the whole shop. She cherished you and always spoke of you with love and pride. We will miss her warmth and enthusiasm. We are grateful for the chance to have known one of God's Angels. May you and your family find peace and healing for your hearts. Love, Todd & Denise from Kool Dog Kuts
