The family has shared just a few of the many wonderful ways in which Dannielle will be remembered: I will always remember her watching me dance on Friday nights. She never doubted any of us in anything or in any situation. She always believed in us. She had a kind heart and she loved everyone. My momma and I had a very special and unique bond that only a mother and daughter could share. She will always be missed. Love, Jessica: I will remember her taking care of me. Every time I saw her whether or not it's the Fourth of July or Christmas, she always looked after me. At about 2 or 3 years old her and my cousins looked after me and my brother. I will think of her at night, Love, Lilly: She loved to spend time with her kids, friends, and family, whether it was Friday night lights or a family gathering at her mom's house. She was selfless, caring, and instilled love and happiness into the hearts of everyone around her, Josh: She was such a loving person. I will never forget how amazing and thoughtful she was to me. She always made me feel welcome around the house. She will always be in my heart and her friends and loved ones, Luke: She was a devoted mother to her kids and a loving Nana to her nieces and nephews. She was fierce woman who always sprang to the defense and aid of her family and friends. Her memory will be treasured by all who she left behind, Jesse.
