Titisville, FL Wednesday, April 25, 2012 Dear Nancy, Pat, Kathleen, Joe & Families,I was saddened to hear of your loss. I have fond memories of many afternoons after school spent at your home. Danny was always very polite to me. Several years ago I saw Danny in Pine Bluff. He was assigned to President Clinton's detail. President Clinton was in PB to throw out the first pitch of the Babe Ruth Championship. The entourage had lunch at Sno White Grill in downtown PB, I was fortunate enough to be there at the time & recognized Danny immediately. He & I talked briefly. Please know that all of you are in my thoughts & prayers.
In Christian Love,
Sharon

Lake Worth, FL Monday, April 23, 2012 Hard to believe that you and Sheila have both left us so soon. It has been a lot of years since we were neighbors in Virginia. Those were great times chasing the bad guys, and our wives seeing how much mischief that they could get into.Lilly and I will always hold fond memories of the visits between Arkansas and Florida (especially the hunting and fishing).
Lilly was so proud of the way you looked after Sheila when she could no longer get around on her own.
Danny you set a great example for all of us about what a good husband, father, and grandfather should be.
Well now you and Sheila will be together once more. rest in peace. Love Chuck and Lilly

Monticello, AR Monday, April 23, 2012 Joe and all of the Rogers Family:So sorry to hear of the passing of Danny. It's never easy losing a loved one. The only thing that comforts us is to know that his suffering is over, and he is in a much better place with His Maker. Please know that the Lord will be with you all during these hard days that follow. If there is ANY thing that you all need, please don't hesitate to let us know.

SHERIDAN, AR Monday, April 23, 2012 What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. May the comfort of God help each of you during this difficult time.
