My heart is broken over the loss of Danielle. She was like a cousin to me, and someone I looked up to and adored for as long as I can remember.
As a 10-year-old, I couldn’t wait to hang out with her—she was the coolest person I knew and reminded me so much of my '80s idol, Alyssa Milano. During my early teen years, I’d count down the days to the summer Staten Island block parties, just so I could be around her and meet her fun, vibrant group of friends. Danielle radiated joy, laughter, and love. She had this beautiful energy that only grew stronger as she became an adult and a mother.
My deepest condolences go out to her Mom, Dad, and especially her children. Your Mom was truly one of a kind—a bright light who left a lasting impact on everyone who knew her. I will never forget her.
She was always smiling, happy and full of life. Always there for whoever needed her. Danielle had a heart of gold. A wonderful mother, woman and friend. She will be missed. My condolences to her family, especially her daughter Brianna and son Thomas, as well as her beautiful mother Roberta and father Jonathan. Rest in eternal peace my beautiful friend.
