My heart and love go out to my niece-in-law, Veronica (Rudy), who deeply loved and cared for her dad, Danny. I only met Danny a few times; he was always a nice person and funny. May Danny's journey to meet his Maker be beautiful. May God bless Veronica and her entire family in this time of sorrow.

My deepest condolences to the Guzman family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I had the opportunity of knowing Danny through my sister Veronica and I will always cherish the moments I spent with my sister at her dad’s house. He was always so sweet to me. He was always cracking jokes and sharing his knowledge of fishing. He was a great man and will be missed by many. Love you sister!
