We will see you down the road and we will all be together again. Yours from the moment I saw you and forever! Your Danny, your John!"

Dinah Manoff (Marty Maraschino in "Grease") also shared, "As many will tell you, Olivia Newton-John was one of the kindest, most generous souls ever to grace the earth, and I was one lucky Pink Lady to have spent time with her during the filming of Grease. She brought light and laughter wherever she went. My deepest condolences to her family and friends during their time of great loss."
