February 13, 2017 at 4:57 amMy heart aches for Bill, Madeliene and the Courneen family to lose recently in death your precious loved one Danielle after just 38 way too short years, way too young, way too soon. Words are so limited that can give comfort, so I would like to share with you a beautiful scripture where Jesus makes us a wonderful promise at John 5:28, which says: “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out…” . Our heavenly father promises us to do away with man’s worst enemy, death at Rev. 21: 4 which reads: “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.” Isaiah 33:24 guarantees us: “And no resident will say “I am sick,” ever again. For more comforting scriptures please visit: http://bit.ly/1K38EFt. It has given me hope, strengthened my faith and helped me find the answer to Why? I know it will do the same for you. God’s kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for at Matt. 6: 9, 10 will bring about these wonderful promises including the resurrection. John 6:40 Also, Titus 1: 2 tells us this promise of a resurrection: “is based on a hope of the everlasting life that God, who cannot lie, promised long ago.” Isaiah 26:19 “Your dead will live……And the earth will let those powerless in death come to life.” Isaiah 25:8 “He will swallow up death forever. For Jehovah himself has spoken it.” Jehovah (Psalm 83:18) invites you to throw all your burdens on him and he will sustain you in your time of grief. I offer my sincere condolences to the family. Feel free to contact me at my email address: myranj@centurytel.net May these promises give you hope, comfort and peace in your time of grief.

February 15, 2017 at 8:53 pmI am so very sorry to hear about Danielle’s passing…I was her patient for several years and we had a scheduled appointment upcoming in March….as much as I had a fear of going to the dentist, she always made me feel calm and comfortable, it will be very difficult going to the office and not seeing her there. My sincere condolences to her family, she was a special and caring lady…I will miss her dearly.

February 28, 2017 at 10:29 amI just called the office to discuss my apt on Monday and was told the devastating news. I knew Danielle as a patient for years and was always grateful for her gentle way during my visits. Life is so short and sometimes so unfair. May her soul rest in peace and you, her family, know how appreciated she was. God Bless.

March 3, 2017 at 5:10 amI just found out about this yesterday from a mutual friend. I graduated from HVCC Dental Hygiene program with her and have searched for her on Facebook but never found her. I’m so sad I didn’t find her before she passed away. She was such a sweet girl. I have so many pictures of her from Hygiene school. I would love to share them with you. You may contact me through my email if you would like. My prayers for her family. I have so many good memories of her….
