Our thoughts and prayers are with each and everyone of you.
I`m a co-worker of Danielle`s, I just wanted to advise of how sorry I am for your loss. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I learned that with the loss of my Mother that she will never die due to all the memories and that I will unite with her again in heaven.
My heart and thoughts are with your family. I wish I`d been able to extend my condolences in person. Most of my fondest memories from childhood are from, PopPop, that farm, and your family. I don`t think I`ll ever be able to convey what that time meant to me. I am so sorry for your loss. You`re all in my prayers.Velma
