We were so saddened to learn about Dannie's passing. She and Don were
our long time neighbors on Joseph Dr. in Moraga and we have such fond memories of that association. May God be with her family in this time of loss. Our last visit with Dannie in 2007 will be cherished

To My Old Friend and Bachelor RoomMate in the 60's.
I don't know what to say old Buddy, Ollie and I were shocked to hear about Danelle. I don't think I can make it up for the funeral, etc., but I promise to round up McCarty and come visit you in May or June. Hang in there and remember the good times.
