Danny recently past away unexpectedly. Danny's Mom, Donnann, is a member of ScrapShare.com, the online scrapbooking message board where I am also a member. Despite the fact that many of us have never met in person we all still have an extremely close bond with one another. When one SS Sister hurts, we all feel the hurt with her.

In honor of the memory of little Danny many of us on the board have participated in red balloon releases, or are planning on releasing red balloons today and wearing red shirts in his memory as the family lays to rest their beautiful little boy today.

I was blessed to be able to join many of my SS Sisters this past weekend at a scrap retreat as we released red balloons to remember Danny. I will be keeping Donnann and her family in my thoughts today as I wear a red shirt in Danny's memory.

Donnann and family, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
