    To Danette’s Girls, How classy, good natured, funny and such a beautiful soul your Mom was. I never met someone who knew all the words to every song before! I loved singing with her and listening to her harmonize so easily! She made it a better richer place💝 My sincere condolences to you and your children. How everyone will miss her.!
