Dear Marquez Family
I cannot imagine your pain. But allow god to give you the strength to get through all of this. Remember that the best thing to do is to keep Danny's memory alive and remember all the wonderful moments you all shared with him. Life takes some unexpected turns but know that he is in a better place now. My deepest prayers are with you all.
