God bless you cousin. You always made me feel like brother and welcomed Annette and Valerie into the family with open arms. Your goodness and kindness is reflected in how you raised Danny to be an outstanding man, husband and father.

Lisa was a good friend to us all and we will sorely miss her. Our comfort lies in the fact that she is now happy and pain free, reunited with her loved ones that have gone before. The way her family pulled together to help and support her these past few weeks is remarkable. Dan and Leslie, the extraordinary way you showed your love for her with the wonderful care you provided was something we were blessed to witness. If we could talk to your mom right now, we'd say "Until we meet again, dear friend.." Love, Cathy, Connie, Bev, Judy and families
