Brenda, David and Danny, Bill and I were so sorry to hear about Danny today, our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Danny will sorely be missed by many of us who "hung around" together at the Cove. Boy did we have some good times. Take heart he is home with God our heavenly father and is free of all pain. He will truly live on in all of your hearts.
