Danny I just wanted to say how sorry to hear of your father’s passing. I know how hard a loss of parent can be since Dad passed on October 31, 2008. Wish you all my best. Love Gwen Your Cousin out West.
It’s so sad to see my Mom and Dad’s dear friends pass on with them. Virginia and Danny, my heart and prayers are with you. God bless you.
