Marion "Buddy" Paul Danna

70 years ago, Buddy was pushing me around grandpa Danna's store, in a big cardboard box! Up and down the halls in the backrooms! What great fun and memories we have from those days!
Your mom was my godmother, and used to bake a cake for me every birthday!
Give them all my love in heaven, and rest in peace.

To the family... be sad but don't mourn. Paul knew he was loved by all of you. Celebrate his life. Remember the good times, the funny things Paul said and did. All of you honored him with the care you give him these last years.

I feel so blessed to be able to say that I got to grow up with my Grampy as a role model in my life. He taught me that perseverance will get me just about anything, as long as I deserve it. He was a great man, and by far the bravest and strongest man I have ever met. I am grateful that my sons knew him if only for a short time, his honor and courage will be the foundation for many stories and memories to be passed down through our family's generations to come, and it will inspire amazing acts of further distinction in our children. Thank you Grampy, for your love and devotion, your service to this country and this family. We will miss you, but we will see you soon. Stand tall and walk proudly by the side of our lord. You are a great man, and I love you.

Ya'll are in our thoughts and prayers

Our deepest condolences to Aunt Shirley, Buddy, Terry, Carlis, and Aunt Carlis. You will be in our prayers.

Dad, If I could tell you now, and I think you hear me, I want you to know that all the times you might have thought I wasnt listening to your good advice, I was always taking it in and my life has always been guilded by your experience and wisdom, thats why I guess with out thinking about it, I married a Yankee Girl like you Did and Made a career out of the military like you and had 3 children like you, in a way and I mean alot, Our Lifes events are pretty close to the same in alot of ways, I miss you already and I will always love you, but I bet you are happier now than you were here on earth for the last 15 years in the pain you lived with, Now Jesus has you, and someday if Im lucky I'll see you again soon I really beleive, and maybe we will all be together again in a new reborn type existence without all the pain and suffering of a physical existence we have on this creation God made called earth. I love you, Take care And I'll be thinking about you alot. See ya!

Your family is in my prayers
