I attended my 20th high school reunion this weekend and was saddened to hear the news. There was a high school photo of her in a frame as a memorial to her. I just wanted you to know that she was thought very fondly of and was remembered at the reunion. I have so many memories of her from school and will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Michelle and Grant we are so sorry for your loss. We will be there for you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Fran and Bob

Michelle and Grant - We can't begin to tell you how sorry we are for the loss of your sister. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. The Hanshaw family

So sorry for the loss of your wife, our deepest Condolences. Our prayers are with you and your Family.

My Mother’s parents were both from Fall River Massachusetts, They dated for five years while her Dad put himself through college. In 1967, after college they were married and moved to Rochester, New York where her Dad worked for Kodak. They had a daughter Michelle born in 1968. My mother wrote in a biography for a school paper that before she was born her parents were expecting a boy and had the name Daniel Jeffery picked out – they found out at her birth in 1973 that she was a girl – so they changed the name to Danielle, with no middle name. My mother wrote about many issues in her early life that she carried with her always and struggled with letting go. However, nothing in the past affected her love of being the best mother to me. To me she was the worlds greatest and everyone that saw the two of us together could see that she cared and loved me more than any mother could. My father tells me how happy she was when I was born and how fortunate I was to have such a caring, loving and sensitive mother. When I was in pre-k my mother was the teacher at the catholic school I went to. My mother loved animals, especially her dogs (Ky, Penny, Ty, Tica and especially Skylar). Any dog she saw on the side of the road or abandoned, that didn’t have a collar, she would take home, fix them up, and help them find a new home. She always liked cleaning and never liked having a cluttered house. Sometimes I would leave my toys on my dresser and I would come home from school and they would be put away in storage totes. She was always smiling and laughing and loved hearing me tell her jokes. She enjoyed listening to the stories I wrote for school and was always after me about my grades. When we did my homework together she would use a calculator to check my work, I sometimes would surprise her and get the answer before she could on the calculator. My mother loved waterfalls and nature, but just not the mosquitoes. If a mosquito landed on her she would run inside. She also loved birds, especially blue birds, the state bird for New York. If you saw a bird she could tell you what it is. There are so many other things about my mother that everyone should know and I wish she was still here today so I could hear her last words to me once more – “BYE, I LOVE YOU”

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Jimmy and Drew. may you find some peace at this most difficult time.
