Phyllis, Bonnie and Brad, All of you have been a part of our lives since we were neighbors as little kids! Lots of memories with Phyllis and Danny always being there for birthday parties, Christmas Neighborhood Get Togethers and when our garage caught on fire! No matter what was going on, Phyllis and Danny were there. Even when our own Dad and Mom past away, there they were. We're very thankful to have had such wonderful neighbors. Not everyone has what you gave us! Loosing Danny will be difficult to adjust to. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you! -Bobby, Bryan and Lesley Legler
My Uncle Danny and Aunt Phyllis were always there for me in my life. Uncle Danny always had a corn cob pipe when I was young. I remember my Uncle & Aunt taking me to the drag races with my cousin Bonnie. No matter what state I lived in, we stayed in touch. When he met my husband Paul, they shared the brotherhood of service in the United States Marine Corp. He made me feel loved as his niece. He is now with our Holy Father. We will miss him. -Shelly and Paul Pamrow
