South Shore communities are showering their love and support on the family of a young Sayville woman who died on Saturday, Jan. 29, nearly six years after she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

By all accounts, Danielle Santiago, 37, was a compassionate woman with a radiant smile and a make-you-laugh-out-loud sense of humor.

Nicknamed “Red” for the color of her long locks, the 2002 Sayville High School graduate inspired countless relatives, friends and acquaintances with her grit, strength and composure as she waged an up-and-down war against cancer.
