Dear Maureen,Chuck, Danny & Lisa - It was a joy and honor to have been a part of Danny's life. Thank you. I can never forget The Danny & Mark duo at Dover Nursery School. I loved Danny's play of construction and the joy he had creating with duplos, for what seemed like hours... I remember his ability to create with others as a master of play. His love of listening to stories and the patience earned when brother Mark came to school!

The many times we all extended love & light to everyone, everywhere...Maureen & Chuck, you are my heros for loving your family as you do. Danny & Lisa you now have the responsibility to tell Danny's stories...keeping his spirit alive for youreelves & others...I am sure Danny will be listening! Peace, Love & light to you all. Suse Wicks

Daniel was clearly becoming a man of the same caliber of his father and grandfather - a testimony to your love and devotion. We will never forget him.

A class act. He brought such a positive, energetic force to his senior English class. Each and every single day - no exaggeration to see each and every - he was good-humored, witty, and an intelligent conversationalist. God bless those memories of such a gem.

We are still numb and have a deep hole in our hearts. Words can not express what we are feeling. God gave Daniel a large entended family and friends that will now fold together to support each other in this time of great sorrow. Daniel was a very special person we have many fond memories of! Including sharing his percussion vest with Aunt Beverly. He was always a gentleman, caring, loving and giving of himself. We all love you Daniel and the void hurts. We want your whole family to know they have support near and far. Until we meet again, Daniel. Love, Uncle John and Aunt Beverly

Dan, you will always be one of my special "cherub-beanie-babies." Everytime I call my school-kids by that term I will think of you and smile, especially since you were the one who gave me the little "cherub" beanie-baby that I have in my classroom that Christmas when you were in my algebra class! I am praying for you and your family.
