Danny - What will we do without you?. I'll always cherish memories of so many great times and long talks, but especially the wonderful parties at Tabers and knowing that I always had an all night dance partner in Danny. Thanks for so many beautiful memories. You were the best big bro-in-law ever. I Love You Dearly. Nancy
