To the Knerr family, I just found out about your loss and was in disbelief. I worked with Danielle 12 years ago at the spa and remember her as a friendly face, who loved family above all else. She was a hard worker, which was apparent in her rise of accomplishments and responsibility in the company. Last year, she helped my daughter with a college class about spa management, taking time out of her busy schedule to talk to the child of a former coworker. She will always be fondly remembered and again I am truly sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers, Karen Sousa

Karl, Kevin, Kris and Lauren, There are no words to describe how my family and I feel about the loss of Danielle. Saying sorry just doesn't seem to be enough. She was a terrific person, wife, mother and friend to many. Always smiling and happy and lit up the room. She will be missed dearly but never forgotten as she will always be a part of everyone she met.
