My heartfelt condolences, words do an injustice in explaining how much Danny will be missed. Those “baby blues and that captivating smile", he will remain very alive in our memories and admiration. May God bless each and every one of you.

Remember growing up and going to play at Ms. Bobbit house. Oochie was a good friend of mine. I remember Danny would talk us into doing stuff we knew would get us in trouble. And we still did it, of course, and Danny had no idea about it. Prayers and best wishes to the family. We will miss you.

Daniel always called me the "Jersey Girl" down the street. A joke because the first time I met him I was wearing a black phedora hat. Remember that Janet? Well now he is wearing an angels hat.

Hey Danny, it's your baby sister, and I miss you so dearly. I'll always remember staying up late at Grandma's while you taught me every Charlie Daniels song because you said I wasn't American until I knew them all; The way you'd make me laugh when you'd phone me pretending to be Ray Stevens; The way you'd show me it's okay to dream for a better life; The way you made your kids smile; and The way you took care of Mama. I miss my big brother. You let Grandma take care of you now. Jamey, Oochie, and I will look out for Mama and your family. Love your little "Nique-a-poo"

Danny Boy,

There was nothing like flying fast down Grape St. on the back of your motorbike, listening to Elvis records with you, eating your delicious cooking with always too much pepper!, hearing you "curse in Spanish" when something went wrong, getting mad about how you called me Rags, but then later remember loving it. Miss you! Give big hugs and kisses to Grandma and May God Bless your Family!
