Dear Danny, Although we've never met in person I regard you as my friend (telephone friend!). Whenever you call you always brighten my day. I can't tell you how terribly sad I am for you and your family. I can tell by talking with you that you are a fine person and I know you have a wonderful family. You are in my prayers and I know God is watching over you all.
