opened my eyes to Mangoes and Avocados. Wish I could live thru 3 or 4 lifetimes to get it right, like dogs, they only need one. Love you all, and praying for a good place in heaven for Danny, even tho I know there are no bad places.
Been thinking of you . Sure will be missing you on the upcoming Holidays. Need to ask a favour now that I KNOW your probably doing the odd job for God and you surely have connections by now ! Tony's been pretty sick and I would like you to ask whoever is calling the shots up there to let him stay with us for a while longer . Ok ? We all miss you and hopefully will see you when our time comes to join you .
Love your sis,

Dear Danny,
You probably never knew just how special you were to my mom and me. We want you and your family to know about the kindness and unselfish love that you gave to us, especially during a rough time after Mom had some back surgeries.
I remember when I was still a pup...you rode up on your bike to our house across from the beach. You were smiling, friendly, and happy. You held your head so straight and proud. You and Mom talked about some things that she needed your help doing. I knew you liked me from the start because you rubbed me, patted me, and even tried to get me to jump up on you (usually a "No Cassie, Down Cassie" thing). We became great buddies and were from that day on.
After that day, you came back to see me every morning to play and take me on nice long walks. I was always waiting on the deck to see you ride up on your bike. Boy, did my tail wag when I saw you coming!!
Some days you would stay and do some work in the yard or inside the house. There was nothing that you couldn't do...you were so tall and strong. Then Mom would fix you sandwiches and cokes. She always got that white cheese just for you. You would talk "happy talk" and always made "sunshine" in our house. I liked that lots, 'cause Mom was sad a lot. She worried about never being able to do regular "fun" and "work" things again. She didn't want to see or talk to people very much. You and "Aunt Debbie" always came and made her happier.
There was a time that you kept walking me when Mom and I found out that you were having trouble with your foot. You never told us, never complained, kept smiling, but you were in a lot of pain. Ms. Joanne, your mom, said that you could not walk me until your foot was better. Even then, you came and tried, but Mom said "If Ms. Joanne says 'no' then 'no' it is." I missed you for a while, as did my mom. Everything seemed grayer, without your daily gift of "sunshine".
Each time you came to walk me, Mom gave you some paper with green pictures and you liked it. I think it was called "money". She knew that you would be our friend and help us even without this. She just wanted you to know how much your time and work meant.
I had lots of toys and balls that I really liked and Mom had clothes and shiny stuff that she liked. These were just "things". They really weren't that important. They could never come and take me for exciting walks or give me hugs and rubs. They could never help Mom with the yard or our house. They did not have big smiles and nice things to say to us. We really don't remember any of those "things" now.
What we both remember and will always remember is that special friend who came each day bringing happiness,
fun and help...OUR SUNSHINE.
You will always be in our hearts and never forgotten.
THANK YOU, DANNY
Love,
Cassie (and Sharon)
You are in my prayers,

I wish to extend my most sincere condolences to you all. It is with great sadness that I write in this ledger today.
I am so very sorry for your loss. There are no words to say in this time of extreme sadness that will ease your pain, the only thing that will help is time.
I will pray for Danny and hope you all find a little comfort in knowing you are not alone. You have many loving and cearing friends to turn to.
