Our precious Dannon died last weekend. She was a free-spirit. Dannon travelled extensively, obtained a university degree from UVIC, spoke three languages, was a diligent and dedicated self-employed mortgage broker, was involved in the community and loved her family. She travelled many directions in both her professional and private life. She never married, and was part of a very small family, her parents, Linda and Bob; her brother, Ashley and her chihuahua, Twig. Dannon’s wish to live an exciting life led her down the path of sorrow when she became involved with drugs and the kind of people involved in the out of control street drug activity. She would want to increase awareness of the insidious form of emotional abuse known as Gaslighting which led to her death and encourage any women who are victims of this horrible psychological manipulation to seek help and leave their relationship immediately.
Dannon will be missed by all those who loved her. We will cherish the 42 years we had with you and will miss you forever our sweet Boog! Private service will be held at a later date. Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Thinking of you today Dannon.
I think of you often.
I have many little reminders around me, pieces of clothing you gave me that I still wear, a box full of your treasures, art you made for me that I see every day, in fact many times a day.
I actually have pieces of you and my mom all around me to remind me of you both daily.
Miss your intelligence, your smile, your story telling. If anyone could make me laugh, it was you and my mom. I miss you period!
We were lucky enough to join your lovely family a few weekends back. Such a beautiful day and one I won’t forget. Such a lovely time with your parents, brother and your beautiful friend and her mom.
I was briefly engaged to Dannon back in 2014. I was told of her passing by a close Friend yesterday. We hadn’t chatted in a few months. I was aware of problems, I guess I didn’t understand the scope of her situation. Had I known I would have tried to help her in anyway I could My sympathies to you.
A beautiful soul like Dannon’s will live forever. Her message of domestic abuse will hopefully speak to so many, even from beyond. She touched so many lives. Condolences to the family who I never had the pleasure of meeting, but I still felt like I knew with Dannon’s love and storytelling. She loved you so much.
Dear Bob, Linda and Ashley
I am so sad to hear the terrible news of Dannon’s passing. I am at a loss for words but please know I am thinking of you all.
It has been many years since we’ve been in touch but I have thought of you often.
Bob Linda Ashley and Dannon I wish you peace.
Love

To our very dear Robert and Linda ……..Hard to believe that we have been joined at the hip for over 50 years. The years have given us many happy memories and certainly some sad ones we shared but nothing can come close to what we are feeling for you now Please realise that you didn’t miss something that you could have changed for Dannon. You have been amazing parents and friends to both Dannon and Ashley. We remember them running through the fields at the ranch 30 years ago and being so excited to find puff balls which we cooked the next day……sweet simple memories for us to cherish. The tough part is not being able to hold on to each of you because of the virus but one day this will happen and our profound grief will maybe ease a bit just to hold on to all of you. You are all in our hearts and prayers – hold on tight to each other. Ashley stay strong and we can only hope to see all of you sooner than later. We love all of you very much. Mouse you are in my heart forever. Love John and Heather
