I offer my deepest condolences to Danny"s family. We grew up about a block away from each other. He was a member of my graduating class at LHS. I will always remember his kind manner, his smile, and his zest for life.

Gail and Family, I am so very sorry for the loss of Danny. You may not remember me, Jennifer "Morgan" Chadwick. I went to work(while in High School) for Danny before the Hardee's in Langdale opened and worked for almost 5 years. What wonderful memories for all as we all learned and grew together. I remember you offered to let me borrow your wedding gown. I certainly know what you are and will be going through. I lost Ashley almost 2 years ago (after 40 years of marriage and 44 1/2 years together). But let me reassure you that with Only God's Love and Comfort you will get through this. Every day is a different struggle, but your kids and grandchildren will be a Great support. I left my email address in case you want to contact me. My Love, thoughts and Prayers are with you and the family in these times. Love, Jennifer "Morgan" Chadwick
