What a wonderful woman- when pulling up to the Danner home you'd never know what to expect, but always knew that Mrs. D would welcome all with a big smile (and sometimes a cat in arms). Our love and support are sent fondly to Mary Kay and the family.

Please accept my deepest condolences. The "Danner Manor" always felt like a second home to me. Mrs. Danner always made me feel welcome even when I stopped by two years ago after many years of absence. -Jean (Crnkovich) Beatty
