Susie and Brenda,
I am so sorry to hear about Danny. We had so much fun at Sand Hill church in the youth group. Some of those memories are my favorites.
Whenever I had to go to the DMV, there was Danny with a big smile and a hug. He would always slip me to the front of the line so I could renew my license and be on my way. Danny was a gentle, kind, caring person and you can be very proud of your son. Take comfort in knowing Danny is with Jesus today, tomorrow and forever! You can bet he and Isaac are walking streets of gold together!

Mrs. Holmes:
You and the family are in our prayers and thoughts. We send our sincere sympathy. Our Saviour’s great arms of love and strength are wide open to hold you and see you through these days you are facing. Johnny has many good memories of working with Danny and I remember the Fridays he would stop at our home in Bryson, and have dinner with us, on his way to Asheville from Murphy while for Eugene Crooke. There are so many of the examiners Johnny has worked with that have been called home to be with our Lord, who are waiting for the others to join them. May God Bless you and sustain you in the days ahead with the memories you have of Danny.
Danny was a gentle soul who always had a kind word and a smile for those he met. Prayers to his loved ones as he will be missed.
