I’ll never forget how much uncle Danny means to me. I can’t think of a time/event in my life that didn’t involve him. He will be missed more than words can say!
Danny has been a part of my life since I was probably about 6 yrs old. So many memories…..he was more like a brother than a brother in law. I couldn’t imagine loving a brother more than I love him. He will be so missed but he has left me with so many wonderful memories. He will never know how much joy he brought to my life , my children and grandchildrens lives. Saying goodbye to such an important person in my life will be hard.
