My sweet best friend from so long ago, I´m devastated to see this. I found a message you sent to me on facebook from 2016 that went to my spam folder. If only I saw that message my dear I would have loved nothing more than to reconnect with you. I´ve thought of you over the years and never forget you or our special friendship. All my love to you.

Danny, you came into this world on Christmas day, a special gift to our family. You were a beautiful boy, with the biggest smile. You entertained us endlessly, and we loved you endlessly. Life can be cruel. But the words you chose for us to embrace as you entered into eternal life were that the darkness did not overcome the light. We are proud of you. We miss you with an ache that will never go away. And we love you more than you could have ever imagined. You will always be my baby brother. And I will always love you.

I worked at the Woonsocket Health Centre with Danny in the 90's. He was the nicest, funniest guy! I can't believe he's gone. He was one of my best friends! We always had such a great time. The world needs more people like him. RIP Danny. My condolences to the family.
