Aunt Barbara, Kevin, Karen, Kathy & grandchildren,

Our hearts and souls are overflowing with condolences, compassion and love, over and for the passing of Uncle Danny.

I have sooo many fond memories of growing up with all my cousins, Aunts and Uncles, and siblings and friends over the years...the way life and famiies are supposed to be, our families times together were the epitome of what family is. If only time, age and distance weren't realities in life, we would still be in that fairy-tale life. Airshows & pool parties, holiday bbq's, picnics - just because :).
We had a unique dynamic back when, and Uncle Danny was our center when we were at the Stratford Bourque residence. He was a calm, gentle, loving, charismatic, & very comical man. He will live on in us all forever, and this is not good-bye, this is, until we see you again....

I'm so happy Uncle Danny met my husband at our wedding in '06, that meant more to me than many will ever realize.

I love you Uncle Danny, and may you all rest & may Uncle Danny Rest in both Peace & Paradise ......." Oh, Danny Boy!"....we love you!
