Darci, I just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear about Danny. He was just a wonderful, loving person. He was always so nice to be around, when I would run into him he would give me the biggest hug and kiss. We would always talk about the times we spent with your Mom when she was still with us how we had laughed so hard at dinner. A wonderful man that will really be missed. May he rest in peace and God Bless him and the family.
