David, Natalie and Sarah,
My love and thoughts are with you. Dani and I had so much fun with each other and you kids. She was always so lively and fun. Will love her always and cherish those memories. If you want to see the Cookson Hills in Oklahoma, you are welcome any time to come up and fish, sleep and swim!

We were so sorry to hear about Dani's death. We have many happy memories of the puppet ministry the two of you did at Trinity many years ago. May God give you all comfort and strength as you mourn her loss. "Whether we live or die, we are the Lord's."

David, My prayers, love, and sympathy to you,the girls,and the grandchildren. She was a kind,loving,free spirited, and non judgmental woman. This I remember about her when our kids were little. I regret and am sorry that we haven't really stayed in contact and spent time being friends. I will be there tomorrow to remember her and show my respect for her. She is with our maker and redeemer, where we all hope to be when our time comes.

Dani is the second Bretz cousin to leave us way to young. My bother Bill was first at 20 and now Dani at 55. Death can be so hard but especially when it is way to early. Our hearts go out to David and family and our prayers will continue and especially be with you on Friday. Wish we could be there. One of the many northern Bretz cousins.

Dani was/is the love of my life. I will miss her so much. God will give me the strength to move on but Dani will always be in my heart. She will be missed by many.

I would look to offer my deepest sympathy to the Holeman family at this time as Dani was a child of ours and will always remember her kindness. She will be deeply missed at Our Savior, as may you all know that you you are in my prayers.

Dani was one of the sweetest and kindest ladies I have ever met. i knew her almost 37 years. She was also very artistic and had a wonderful sense of humor. I do not think I ever saw her without that beaming smile that lit up her pretty face. David, Natalie, and Sarah, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. I know all of you have strong faith but I pray that God gives you His Love and Peace that passes all understanding. The world has lost the gentlest of souls but yet a woman of great inner strength...Noel Chisholm (Dana and Monnie Chisholm's Mom)
