A moment for Dani
A dear friend, Dani Ancog, passed away last July 2nd. That following Sunday, several of his close friends held a small memorial for him where we reflected on the selfless life he led. He was such a kind and generous person, always willing to offer his help. He held many roles--all of which he played so well--florist, private nurse, singer, dancer, performer and best of all, generous friend. Dani, you will be missed! We offer our sincerest condolences to Dani’s family and his loving partner Karl. Let’s take a moment to offer our prayers for Dani and his loved ones...
