Mr. McCollum,
I don't even know where to begin..I am friends with Peggy and you always made me feel like part of the family. I'll never forget our fun down the Mississippi and you belting your lungs to "Proud Mary". Your girls loved you so much and I wish I was there to say goodbye. I keep you and all your family in my prayers!

To Danny's family at home and his family at Service Amusement,
Please accept my condolences on his much to early passing.
My name is Adrienne. I work for Ken Rosenburg. Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Danny personally, I feel I knew him just through telephone conversations over the past years. He was always so nice, pleasant and never in too much of hurry to have a conversation, like so many people are these days! Danny was "old fashioned niceness". Adrienne
