Summer came and went. soon Fall was there. The trees had already lost their leaves and it was starting to get cold. Danny made plans to go into the ARMY. He was very happy. About two weeks before he left - Him and Alex went out to celebrate. After spending a good part of the night together - Alex told him that they had to go home, because it was late and he was a married man. Danny told him - The night is young. I'll just stay a while and then I'll go home. Alex did leave and he was left alone.

As he got closer - some guns were pulled and nine bullets hit him. He had no chance to run. His funeral was big. Many people went. My husband and I were also there. Alex had told us right away. His mother cried a lot and held on to the coffin. She didn't want to let go. Then - she wanted to show her love - but it was too late. He was already gone. She couldn't understand how he knew so many people or how so many people knew him. many people attended his funeral. In his short life he made a lot of friends.
