I am really sorry for the lose of a good friend that I knew from the old St. Louis days. Dan you will be missed and in my prayers. Steve Herberts
Debbie, Paul & Heather,
Please accept my most sincere condolences and pass them on to your entire families!
I know that we don’t see each other or stay in touch with each other very much but that doesn’t lessen how very sorry I am for your loss of Danny. I’m sure his loss will leave a very big hole in your family–as a father, grandfather and brother.
Words just can’t adequately express my sympathies. I do hope that you will find comfort in the love and support you are receiving from family and friends. And from the many fond memories of Danny.
You all will remain in my thoughts & prayers as I send my love, my concern and my hugs to all of you.
Love,
Phyllis Viviano
