It has taken me a long time to finally make a statement about Danielle. I just couldn't put into words the feelings I have about her.



I too am glad you are with your mom. I miss both of you very much. You are such a big part of my mother and my lives and I will always remember the times we shared growing up. I only wish we had more time together. Still, you are always in my heart and in my thoughts. You mean so much to me and I love you very much.

Danielle had sooo many friends, and I was blessed to be one, and know many of them. She had such a magnetic personality. I couldn't go any where with her and not run into someone she knew. And I mean any where! From 7-eleven to the movie theater. If we didn't happen to run into someone, she would be on her cell phone! That girl was practically attached to that thing!

We met working at Chili's, not even sure how many years ago it was, but it didn't take us long to become close friends. She was scared of me at first, but she broke through my silly little barrier, and I'm am so incredibly glad she did. I don't know if she knew or not, but she was my best friend. I miss her dearly. She was always there when I needed her. Heck, she was even my Valentine last year (we decided boys are lame and double-dated with my Dad and his wife). It didn't seem to matter, we always had fun. And she always had a joke. Some of them weren't all that great, but when she would laugh at them you would too, mostly AT her though. That was just part of her charm (wink wink "D", you know I love you!). I find myself telling her jokes all the time. I wish she was still here to tell me more! I guess that goes without saying. I could go on and on about her, we all could, but I will keep the times we shared close to my heart, and share a few stories here and there. I miss you D! and I LOVE YOU! R.I.P.

To hear today of Danielle passing away has crushed me. She was such a pure and beautiful woman that I got the privilage of being relly good friends with for so many years. I remember the days of her and I causing all kinds of trouble in Dublin. The days we spent skiing to the days playing on the field, I will never forget.There are so many wonderful memories that I hold dearly in my heart. But now she is home in her mothers arms once again. Mike, Vickie, Rachelle, and Cristine, I am so sorry for your great loss. Danielle, I look forward to seeing you again one day. xoxo. P.S. Give my mother a hug for me.

Danielle was one of my very best friends growing up. When I think of my childhood, my memories continually revolve around the friendship that I had with Danielle and Sam. I am very saddened to hear of such a great loss of a beautiful, young person, but am comforted by the fact there is no pain. Danielle touched many lives, mine will not be the same because of her and her infectious smile and energy. Until we meet again, Danielle- I love you! Tear up the field in heaven!

forever friends

I met Danielle in highschool and played soccer with her in college. I remember spending the night at her home in Dublin and we thought that it would be fun to sleep out on her parents balcony in sleeping bags...we woke up at 4am soaking wet and freezing from the dew. Danielle was always kind, hardworking , and an all around good person. Her family was very kind and always made me feel at home. Although it is sad to hear that she is gone, I am glad that she is not sick anymore...But I don't see a point in saying goodbye as we will meet again someday.

I am so sorry Mike,Victoria and family. I meet Danielle when she was just an infant in Dublin Ca. For a short time My daughter Tegan and I lived with Danielle and her mother, my best friend Sheree, in the Livermore valley. We had rented a place from her Grandmother.(Mikes mom) On the day we were all busy moving in I took notice of the train tracks across the street for the first time. I had not really given it any thought or even noticed them before. Then wouldn't you know a train went by. The entire place felt like a 4.5 or was it a 6.5 on the Cal.scale. The duplex rumbled and shook. Well the girls at 3 years old thought this was so exciting and from that day forword they would scream loudly "the train!", bolt to the window and watch as the train goes by. The infectous spirit of the girls made the trains an exciting daily event to say the least. Sheree and I never complained about the Trains, and the girls screaming as walls shaked and windows rattled, which was often. The four of us would be forever bonded, with our four great attitudes. We had so many adventurous rides and picnics all set out in her mothers VW bus.My one and only trip to Yosemite Valley would be camping with Tegan and Danielle.Great overnight trip cruising through the park on motorcycles. We were in the 80's and having a blast.The four of us would spent time together off and on until the girls were about 12 then Tegan and I moved to Washington and Sheree passed away. Danielle and Sheree were a huge part of my life and Tegans.There has and will never be a time that I have not thought of them both and this very defined and most memorable chapter of our lives and that we shared it together. Danielle would be the closest thing to a sister Tegan would ever have. I don't know if she realized this. Tegan and I did.

With some much love, deep sorrow and so many fantastic memories of you! Michelle

I only knew Danielle a short while, but she was a great person. We played soccer together at the Bladium. I was saddened to hear she was ill and even sadder to hear she had passed. My thoughts are with her family and friends.

It saddens me to hear of such a beautiful young girl passing and I am sad I will not be able to reminisce about high school with you. I am sure your family will miss you very much. Please accept my condolences.

It hasn't been since high school that I have seen you, but finding out that we lost a beautiful woman so early in her life has shocked and saddened me. I will never forget playing soccer together and our soccer tournament in Reno - driving around in your Mustang. My dad Ernie always enjoyed coaching you and believed you were a very talented soccer player. One day we will play soccer again my friend.

Danielle,



It's been a little over a year since the last time I bumped into you. I enjoyed catching up with you, and I am saddened to hear that our paths will not cross again in this life.

We have lost a great friend. Danielle's energy and spirit was infectious, and we will miss her very much. Time and distance had seperated us, but I will never forget the trips we shared and the fun we had. We keep you and your family in our prayers.

You always drove through life with the top down and we are better for having been witness to that indelible spirit.

Thank you Danielle.
