Hi Julie and Jeanne,
I was just google-ing your name and came across this horrible news....
Wanted to find out what you are up to nowadays…
Anyway, I want to wish you all the strength and courage during this difficult time.
Try to give it a place in your heart; it will take time.
All the best to you both.

Love,
Jeroen van de Sande

Dearest Borchert Family,
I am so, so sorry for your loss. Most fondly remember Danny's smile and his childhood innocence...he was one of my first friends when I moved to Columbus. I went to Reese Rd. Elementary school with Danny for several years (2-6). Although I have not seen or spoken with Danny in more than 20 years, his image popped into my mind this afternoon and I was compelled to "google" him. I too am devastated and will continue to grieve with you.
All of my love,
Monica

To the Borchert Family,
Danny's birthday has came and gone, and it has almost been a year since his passing. I have greatly missed this man I knew as Danny, a friend that I spoke with on a daily basis, and as a employee that always gave 100% of his efforts to make sure he did the job right. Danny is greatly missed now, and will be missed for the rest of my time. I hope all his family and friends will take comfort in knowing that he was loved and thought of by so many. Danny truly touched all he was around.

To the Borchert Family,
I was very devastated to hear of the loss of Danny. I haven't spoken to him since his birthday and was very saddened to find out this was the reasoning why. He would call me and seek advise and encouragement, but in return always put more of a smile on my face and heart. You raised him well and should be very proud! We all walk thru hard times, but he was full of determination and love! I will miss our long talks and his laugh. God has added a special flower to his garden in Heaven. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Danny was one of just a few "true" friends that I have in my life. I will miss him tremendously. Danny and I spoke at least 2-3 times per week since I moved to Tampa. He had recently helped me through a very difficult time in my life. "Thank You" Danny for always being there for me and I know you are with God now.

Love,
