She loved and adored her brothers, cousins, grandparents, and niece. This same love and affection extended to every animal she encountered and if she had her choice, they all would come home with her. No questions asked. There were no limits to how much love she was willing to share. As her mom said, "Her heart was like her front door, big and always open." Danielle has touched the lives of so many on her short journey, she missed few opportunities to kiss her family and friends lovingly on their cheeks. Most everyone will have a picture of her doing exactly this. Danielle experienced a trip of a lifetime when she went to Africa. Sponsored through the church, she described her trip as one that brought her so much love, humility, and gratitude. She talked about the great people she met on this trip, all of whom had a profound effect on her life. She talked about how she walked hand in hand with people literally changing the world for the better. The trip held such a special place in her heart. When she returned, she had a profound account of her own blessings and uttered daily "God is good!" Danielle was blessed with many gifts that will never be forgotten. Her ability to light up a room was legendary, accompanied by a quick wit and an infectious laugh to naturally put you at ease. On many occasions, she had deep insights that stopped you momentarily in your tracks and stayed with you long after you left her presence. The one that has left a lasting impression and will never be forgotten is, "You are lucky to get old, and being old is a gift!"
