Linda and I attended the March 10 service and we were greatly relieved by Pastor Mike's Biblical words of encouragement.
It was a pleasure meeting more of Danny's family. It was a pleasure working "tooled up" with Danny on many jobs over the years. He was a great craftsman at our trade. I am saddened to loose his expertise and his friendship.

My deepest sympathy to the Riggs family. I have worked around Danny on various occasions for almost 40 years. His polite and genteel demeanor was with him always. A rare individual. A Brother to us all.

My thoughts, prayers, and deepest sympathy extend to Uncle Raymond and Aunt Vivian, as well as family and friends. I'll remember always the good old days of visiting in Pulaski with the family. Danny always had a warm personality and was friendly to everyone. May God comfort and bless the family at this time.
