Dear Uncle Tony, Aunt Edie, Tony, Lisa, Michelle, Bobby, Bobby, Ashley, Chris, May, Matthew.
Danielle is such an insperation to me. I have never known anyone like Danielle. Most people met with the challenges that Danille was given would of given up long ago. I never heard a negative thought from her.
She fought with everything she had and kept on giving.
Danielle was not only beautiful on the outside but on the inside as well. I will never forget the times I would call her to offer help she always refused, she had everything under control and never complained about anything. I think the message Danielle was trying to send everyone was, No matter how big or how small your problems are you need to find a reason to get up in the morning and go on with your life with a postive attitude and a smile.
Love you all
Susan Taddeo

I was so sad to hear about Danielle's passing. I remember her always with a smile. I remember her laugh when we would sit around the pool at her Mom and Dads house and we would watch our kids running around playing. When we where younger we would have "sleepovers" and stay up all night and talk. Although I haven't seen her in 5 years I still have memories that will be in my heart forever. She was a great mom who loved her kids more than herself, and talked highly of her parents and sisters & brother. She was a person who will always be remembered. My thoughts and prayers are with Mr and Mrs Taddeo, Tony,Lisa, Michelle and to her beautiful children. May God be with all of you as you go through this hard time. And may Danielle rest in peace.

To Danielle's family and friends,
My sympathy goes out to all of you for you have lost a courageous, optimistic,selfless, loving lady.I first met Danielle when she was a student of mine, and later when I was her son's reading teacher, then, years later, to my shock when she and my husband were both being treated at Dana Farber. Her concern was not for herself, but for her children and family. Danielle was determined to beat this wretched disease. At too young an age she met all of life's challenges with grace and dignity. I hope her children find strength in the memories she has blessed them with. I will always remember her happy, outgoing, compassionate, generous personality as a student, and her devotion to what she loved best - being a mother.
