Danielle had a magnetic personality that drew people to her. She always had a smile on her face when I seen her. Her laughter, I can still hear. She always waved if I didn't hear her.
My deepest condolences to the whole family. Susan I enjoyed seeing you when you visited Danielle and Josiah. Prayers for you, Josiah and the family. Remember to keep her memories alive in each of us. Danielle you will be missed by many who knew you! Blessings my dear friend! Until we meet again.

Danielle´s passing is a loss that´s hard to accept. I knew Danielle since she was about 6 years old through her brother and sister Emmett & Shannon. The 1st thing I ever heard her say was "MOM, there´s a girl in here!" Danielle told on me for being at the house when no guests were welcome. Soon after that Danielle became a regular person in my life. I remember how excited she´d get when I´d do her hair and makeup. She was such a cute kid, with long, beautiful blond hair. Then, all of a sudden, she was an adult! Adult Danielle was a lot of fun to be around. I never could tell if she was laughing with me or at me! Either way, we always laughed, a lot. Danielle adored Emmett & Shannon. Those three were fiercely loyal to one another. To Emmett & Shannon: my heart bleeds just thinking about how deeply you both must be hurting. To Susan: trying to imagine the level of pain you´re going through with losing a daughter completely takes my breath away. I´m extremely sorry you have to through every mother´s nightmare. To Lil Josiah: you are forever in my prayers. I promise to lift you up to the Lord for the rest of my life. I´ll be praying you come to know Jesus at a young age and grow to have a heart that seeks the Lord. To the whole family: John 11: 25-26 tells us that Jesus says, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die." I can confidently say, Danielle trusted in Jesus´ saving grace. I hope that truth will bring comfort to your heart.

With love & sincere sorrow,
Sarah Borelli
