My Dear Danny,
Words are never enough to express how lonely I am without you. You just made everything seem so much better by being in your presence. I always knew that I was so lucky to be your wife and to have shared my life with you, just never knew that it would end so quickly. These next 5 days will be such a reminder of last year at this time and all the hopes and dreams we had & how you were looking so forward to life without pain...you did succeed and then you were gone. This past year has been such a struggle to come to peace with so many things and I have overcome so much. I only hope that you would be proud.
I love you with all my heart & always will,
Diane

My Dear Husband,
I have been overwhelmed with sadness tonight. My heart is still breaking....I can't stand being without you ! I wish I could have gone instead of you. You were my world and I am lost without you. I love you Danny. I wish you could help me.

My dearest Danny,
Thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, with which I'll never part. God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart.
I will always love you Danny,
Diane

Happy Valentine's Day my Sweetheart!
Jessica and I brought you red roses today and oh how beautiful they looked against the white snow. We miss you so very much. I pray for peace and understanding everyday. I pray not to be bitter or to harbor any anger as I know this is not what God wants from me or any of us. I put all my faith in God each and everyday and that is how I make it through without you. I love you Danny and you are my forever Valentine.
Your wife always,
Diane

My handsome husband, I miss you more than words could ever explain. Time is not healing the pain or emptiness that I feel. I keep looking for you to come walking through the door, but just another day passes. I love you Danny.
Your wife always,
Diane

Dear Handsome,
These last couple of weeks have been really tough. I am still looking for you to come home, but I know you are already there. Danny, I miss everything about you. Christmas was a special time for our family. Just spending the extra time off from work was all we looked forward to...just being together. God has blessed us with so much, but most of all being able to have you in my life was by far one of the greatest gifts I have ever received. I thank God for you every day. I love you Danny.
Your wife always,
Diane

My dear Husband,
Happy Thanksgiving Sweetheart. As I sat with an empty seat next to me today I could only think of you and all the past Thanksgiving Days we had spent together. You looked so forward to getting together with my brother just so you could give him a hard time and he the same...but you thought the world of him and he of you. My mom misses your big old bear hugs and the "Hi Mrs A" everytime you would come through the door. This Thanksgiving had something missing....You.
I will love you always,
Your wife,
Diane

My Handsome Prince,
It has been three months since God came and lifted you into Heaven. Why does it seem like forever ago? I try to go to bed early just so that you can come alive in my dreams and I can see your handsome face. My heart is still as broken as it was that morning you left and everyone keeps telling me that time heals all, but I am not sure that time can heal my heart. My only comfort is knowing the God hears my prayers all during the day and night. God knows all and I give it all to him and pray that he will ease this pain in my heart. I love you with all my heart Danny. Until we are together again,
Your wife,
Diane

My dearest husband,
As I sat with you today surrounded by all the beautiful American Flags, I felt not only my tears but the tears from heaven falling upon my face. Each day I awaken with such emptiness in my heart and I know it will never be filled again with a love such as ours, that only comes once in a lifetime. I brought you roses today in remembrance of Veterans Day and also of our love for one another. I could never thank you enough for just being you and loving me just as I am. Remember when we married we always said we would follow Corinthians 13:4-8, and we always did. God will not fail us as long as we always believe in him and I always will no matter what, I give it all to him. I will always love you.
Your wife,
Diane

My Handsome Prince,
I am so lost and broken without you. You filled my life with so much happiness and love. Jessica is heartbroken. She will graduate without Dad to see her on. Your little Caleb is still looking for Grandpa. I know God needed you more but we miss you so very much. Each day gets harder instead of easier as I can't stand the emptiness in our home unlike the love and laughter that once filled these walls. We had so many goals and so much to look forward to as we were heading to our "Golden Years" and we were going to grow old together in our matching rocking chairs. God blessed me when he brought you into my life and I am so thankful for every second of everyday we shared. You made me such a better person. I was,I am and I will always be, so proud to be your wife. I know you are in God's care now and that you and I will be together again when the Lord calls me home and we will rejoice in our reunion. I will always love you Danny.
Your wife,
Diane

I have know Danny for many years, but the best years were when we worked side by side at Henrico County. Danny was the type of man who you could share your most deepest thoughts with especially our Lord. It was a blessing to have known him and to have had the opportunity to share our lives together. He was someone you could really "look up" to. I will truly miss him.
Diane and family, my thougths and prayers will be with you.

I know that the Coleman family doesn't know me, but I just wanted to take a minute to let you all know that I saw Danny as a gift from God. Danny and I were not close freinds, but his employment at Henrico Utilities gave us an opportunity to get to know each other. Danny was one of those special persons in my life that could always bring a smile to my face. I will cherrish the memories of Danny and his joy for life.

Words of Comfort:
There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept,things we don't know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go."~Author Unknown"
I wanted to share this quote for the family, as well as all Danny's friends.
Don and I are heart broken at the loss of Danny. He was so young. Danny was a good friend & coworker(Henrico Co) to Don, sharing many talks and lunches over the years. He will be missed.
With great personal sorrow, we ask to share your loss & to extend our heartfelt sympathy.
