    Danny, you were the youngest of us, much too soon to leave us. I will always remember you and your sibs, the white tornedos, that would rush into Nana and Grandpa’s house when we came to visit many years ago. And, then your visit to California with Terry and the two of you managed to remove a large palm tree for us. And your phone calls chatting about family and genealogy. I was so happy you found Jesse whom you loved very much. Rest in peace. little cousin!
