Our family is so sorry to to hear that Danny has passed away. We talk about how we were neighbors and all of us kids played together. I recall how Danny was Dadddy's little boy and would stand on the seat next to his dad in the car. Our thoughts and prayers go to his wife Fay and his family.

Fay and Family . . . I am so sorry Dan has had to go through the pain and suffering of Cancer as have many family members before him. It is so difficult to stand beside and see them endure the effects of this dreadful disease. My heart goes out to all of you. We do have a Great God who stands along side us and will help during these dark times. Hang in there! God will help you to see a more enlightened time. My prayers are with all of you.
