It was such a shock to hear of my brothers passing third hand. Not to be notified of you in the hospital to say good bye, being withheld such heartbreaking information from the oldest brother Raymond. How can such a person keep us apart on your last moments on the earth. But Danny don't worry, you and my sister, Vita and other brother Remigio have our many memories together, pictures of our happy times together to keep your spirit still with us no matter what Raymond and Lucy has tried. May you be in a happy place with our parents and youngest brother, Joey. I love you very much it breaks my heart. Our memories growing up will keep me strong. Till I and my sister and other brother meet again and reunite with our parents. Good bye, your sister Yvette

My Dearest Yvette...mere words cannot express the sadness I feel to hear of Danny's passing. From the moment I heard Ive had nothing but flashbacks of my dear friend, and of you and the entire family. Since you were the little sister, maybe you dont recall that Danny and I started school together ever since we were kids. We grew up best of friends. I have many fond memories of you and the entire family. I will forever hold a special place in my heart for my dear friend Danny.
May God Bless You Yvette & the entire family too!
Sincerely....Manuel Castillo
