Danielle Rodier

My friend Danielle, You were just here in my home, we just hugged, we just texted, we just talked. I would have held on longer, I would have kept the conversation going, if I knew it would be the last time. I was so excited when we became neighbors, and looking back now it's really when our friendship grew up. We transitioned from late nights and parties in Dewey and DC, to Philly group friend dinners and our coffee dates on East Passyunk where we would talk for hours about Bravo, celebrities, all of your favorite things- and got to escape reality for a little while. Over the years we traveled together (Iceland, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, Palm Springs, Miami-such good memories) and enjoyed the best of Philly together (you absolutely loved all things Philly- the sports, St Pats, Mummers and Italian Market Fest). There is so much I will miss about you. Your absolute love of Britney and Madonna. Your holiday texts to our friend group just to let everyone know you were thinking about them - always with a stupid gif of Monica with turkey on her head or something like that- who is going to do that now? Something so small but I will miss so much. What I think I will miss most is your laugh. I can hear it now- it was a low chuckle/giggle hybrid- distinct and totally DR. Anyone reading this is now hearing you laugh- and that's a great way to remember you. Rest easy my fabulous friend.
