  1. Ed and Family, I know Danette fought a long brave battle, and you, Ed, and your family were there fighting with her. May the many wonderful memories of your life together bring you comfort, and in the love, thoughts and prayers that surround you may you find strength. With Sympathy Elaine Reid

  2. Justin, I know we have not had contact for a very long time, but I wanted to let you know how very sorry I am to hear about your Mom’s death. She was always so supportive of me and our school, and she wanted you to work to your potential. I can still see her smiling face, and I always enjoyed visiting with her wherever we met. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and I pray God will grant you the comfort you need at this time. It is hard to lose someone to such a disease, but put your trust in God as He will guide you along the way. God Bless You, Lori Luman Your 4th grade teacher at St. Thomas Aquinas

  3. Ed, I attended Southeast High with Danette. I’m very sorry for your loss. My family’s prayers are with you and yours.

  4. We feel lucky to have known Danette even though it was for a short time. Please know that your family is in our prayers.
