When I was growing up as a teenager, I used to watch What's Happening daily and Dee stood out as Roger little annoying sister. Dee was very smart, funny, outspoken and cute. I miss these days. I feel so sad she left us so soon. RIP Dee

Dear Family,
I am very sorry for your loss. I always felt a strong connection to Danielle due to the fact that I loved Whats Happening and my name is so similar to hers. In fact, in high school my black friends used to call me "Danielle Spencer". I am happy to know she grew up to be a beautiful, educated and kind person. Please accept my condolences, Daniel Spensieri.
