I am truly sorry to hear of your loss, and wish to let you know you are all in my prayers during this difficult time .
Thank you.
Danny was a very gregarious and opinionated individual. He did not sugarcoat his thoughts – there was no gray area. This is a reason why I liked him. Danny was a helpful soul who would definitely go above and beyond for a friend and or an acquaintance. If you were his friend – you were his friend for life. He came from a wonderful family. May God bless them all over this pandemic – which we are all living. I would personally like to extend my condolences to the Briggs family during their time of sorrow.
Sincerely…
