I wanted to express my heartfelt condolences to all of Danny’s family. For right now, there’s no detour around grief, no shortcut through mourning. However, 2 Cor.4:7 says that God can give us, “… power beyond what is normal…”, to go from one day to the next. This does not mean that we no longer cry or that we forget. It means we recover. We recover because of our hope. Jesus Christ talked about our hope in John 5:28 which says, “…all those in the memorial tomb will hear his voice and come out…”. Jesus was referring to the resurrection. That is our amazing hope! The Bible likens our hope to an anchor. Just like an anchor stabilizes a ship, our hope stabilizes us and keeps us from drowning in overwhelming sadness. One way that God comforts us today is by moving people who care about us to give us words of encouragement that we need to hear. May the God of comfort be your comfort now, during this time of sorrow. For the Bible’s answers to life’s big questions please visit JW.org.
My wife Paula and I wish to express our heart felt condolences for your loss. Just remember how Danny made everyone feel good when he met them. God Bless.
So sorry to hear about Danny I went to High school with him he always picked on me about the Nascar Races!
Patty, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how you are feeling and the pain in your heart. I lost Junior eight months ago. It is hard. I will pray for you and for Danny. 9dqdT
In reality I think the thing I liked most about Danny was his directness if thats a word. You never had a problem figuring where Danny was coming from, he just told you. He lived his life just as he wanted, and if you didn't agree that was ok, but you were not going to change Danny. Wouldn't life be so much simpler if we were all that way. Old friend we are all facing this fate, just like you always have you are just leading the way.
Please accept our most sincere sympathy in the passing of Danny. We remember fondly him greeting us at the doors of St. Elizabeth's Church when we were members there. We know he will be mossed by many.
While we did not see each other often, I will always remember time spent with Uncle Dan on our visits to West Virginia when we were kids.
My sincerest sympathies; everyone is in my prayers. ~ Monica
