Jessica, Quita & Family,
Want you to know that I have been thinking about all of you since I heard of Danielle's passing. Such a beautiful woman inside and out, fortunate to have known her if only for a short time. Such a nice tribute to her as was written in the obituary, how lucky you all were to have her in your lives. Sending Prayers to Declan & Chandler and all you girls!
With my Love... PS, I get the Corpus paper now that I am retired (beautiful write-up).

My deepest condolences. Danielle was a very unique person. I had the pleasure of working with her for several years. She was savvy, smart, hard, funny, compassionate. Danielle stood strong in her convictions and had a strong voice. She knew her business and protocols that went with it. She wasn’t scared or intimated when she would approach a “project” her way. She just made it work. It’s soul crushing to know that she passed. She had just really got started understanding her strengths and there were many. She was going places…..her way. She called me out of the blue several months ago. We brought each other up to date on our lives, she was in a very good place with her job and her kids. She was so proud of them and where they were headed in life. I will miss hearing her voice and her contagious laughter. I will miss the “uniqueness” of her. I am so sorry for your loss ❤️
