My prayers are with the family. I really enjoyed talking to Dannie when she worked at Bills office, I found out she was friends with my grandparents and she would tell me stories about when they were all young in Yuma. I will miss you Dannie.

I have yet to meet a woman that I admire more. A loving wife, a devoted mother, a good friend. Creative, funny, gracious,strong, and from what I can recall, a hell of a card player.
