I was so sorry to hear of Danny´s passing. We went to school all the way from first grade to Lynn View High School graduation. He was always very nice and pleasant to be around. My prayers go out to Deloris and all of his family. May God be with you as you journey down a new path. Paula Calhoun McMillan

Dear Delores and children, I remember sweet Danny at Lynn View and lovely you as well. I'm sorry for your loss of such an honorable man. I haven't seen you and/or Danny since high school. Danny was a faithful servant to his community. I send my deepest sympathy to his brothers and sisters as well. I'm so fortunate to have lived in a small community with wonderful people like you and Danny. Surviving the pain of your loss of Danny and trying to adjust to a new world without him will be difficult. May God hold you safe in his arms as you mourn your dear husband. Love and peace, Arlene Payne, class of 1966
