Happy Birthday son.

Hey Daniel, just wanted to say that I can't believe it's been 8 years since you've been gone and even longer since I last saw you. Will was always asking for you to come over and I hated that because that meant my mom would make me go get you and bring you home---not cool to chauffeur your little brother and his friend around when you are a teenager, right? :-) Will still mentions you often. You were a great friend to him. I can still see the two of you as your little 13 year old selves coming in the kitchen sweaty and smelly from skateboarding and eating ALL the food in the house. You are remembered, even after all ths time!
--Dawn (Phillips) Edwards

DANIEL I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU,AND THINK ABOUT YOU EVERY DAY
December 1, 2009
I feel like it is happening all over again.. We just lost Alex early sat morning in a car accident... This just isnt fair.. I feel like we all have gone through this too many times already... But now you get to hang with him up there and have it be like old times.. This time is kind of worse though because in reality.. this time we lost 2 friends. Just please watch over everyone down here and try to keep everyone safe.

hey Daniel i know it has been a while since i have talked to you but i just wanted to stop in and say hello.. i miss you a whole lot.. also i hope you are doing well. Make sure you watch over Derek up there and keep everyone safe please.. Love you and miss you even more every day
January 14, 2008
So I guess heaven has another angel now. Who could have known that all of this would happen.
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
There's too many places I haven't seen
And if I stayed here with you, now
Things just wouldn't be the same
Well I'm as free as a bird now,
And a bird you can not change.
January 14, 2008
So Derek said the two people he wanted to meet were you and God....please take care of him I know you will......I'm sure you guys are up there jammin' right now....

Hey Daniel. I can't believe its been so long since I've been to see you. So much has been going on but I never stop thinking about you. Everytime I see Jake with his red hat on all I can do is smile and think about how much everyone cares about you and how much you care about us. I miss you so much but I know you're still there.
amanda tomlinson
November 21, 2005
I can't believe its been over a year. It's so weird not seeing your smiling face around school anymore man, it tears me up. I come to visit you all the time to just get away from everything and chill out with you. We all need a little of that sometimes...right? my wishes and my prayers are with the herlong's day in and day out. you guys have been able to tough it out so wonderfully, in such a rough time. Daniel, your always in our thoughts and we love and miss you so much. You'll never be forgotten.love you...<3

You pulled many pranks
they were all top rank
You were my Bubba, my bro
I'll never forget that fro
You helped me when I was down
thinking of you makes me frown
You were my Bubba, my bro
You alawys moved with the flow
You loved driving your car
Now you are my shining star
You were my Bubba, my bro
Someone I'll never truly know
October 21, 2005
Daniel,
I'm sorry i havent been to see you yet...ive tried but couldn't bring myself to do it. i'm sure you know..im sure you can see all of us down here. But i bet it's awesome up there, and im sure you're the happiest you've ever been. keep smiling down on us and we'll keep smiling up at you.

September 27, 2005
When I look at the sky now, I look at it for you,
As if with enough attention, I could take it in for you,
Just the dreams you wanted and the funny memories we had,
Makes me so damn upset and even more mad,
And when i pass away i am going up there in a hurry trust me i know,
Because i am going to see that wonderful smile and that curly fro.

-R.I.P. Daniel- Man I can't believe its been a year now since I lasted talked to you. I still remember that day from the time I woke up to the time I heard the news. You and me moving all your things to the basement and talking about how awesome its going to be having your room downstairs. Taking your hatch out and you letting me drive it down Justins street before you left to go to work lol. And us planning on going to Broad st. with Justin, Shane, Greg, and Gail when you got off work. And all the other times hanging out with you. You were such a great friend and a great guy. But must of all we all miss you and that smile that warmed all of are hearts. I can't wait for that day to see you again man. Also Danny, Maria, Nick, and Herlong family yall have been very strong this past year and we all will always be here for you. WE LOVE YOU ALL
September 26, 2005
Daniel, its so hard to believe that today marks one year since we were last blessed to be with you. it seems like just yesterday i saw that big smile of yours, but thats probally because not a day has gone by in this past year that you have not crossed my mind. everyday i think of you, some things bring a tear to my eye, and others a smile to my face, but no matter which it is, i will always think of you, it warms my heart, and i will always think of you. you know how much we all miss you down here Daniel. none of us can wait until that day that we get to see you again in heaven, and we know that you will be safe until then. i love and miss you Daniel.
Danny, Maria, and Nick, you three have been so strong this past year, and i just want you guys to know that i love you and that i will always be here for you.
jake herlong
September 21, 2005
CRAZY, hard to believe i haven't seen you in over a year now, it all just isn't the same and yea a year might have went by but i'll always have the same love for you. Man i moved to richmond thinkin i was going to have a blast and have all the fun possible, and trust me it would have been if you were still here no doubt, but before i moved down here i already knew something was missin from richmond, and something was taken from me, your family, and friends that can't be replaced what so ever. And Daniel after i pray and before i go to sleep i will always try to think of a memory that me and you had and when i can they were seriously all funny. Everytime we use to see each other when i came down from roanoke to visit we would always smile or laugh at each other when we saw one another because we would be so excited to see one another. But Daniel when i pass away i am going to have the biggest smile ever on my face when i get to heaven because i know you'll be waiting there with a big smile too.

Hey man...I know it's been a while since I've written anything but it's hard...you know that. I'm reminded of you everyday, no matter what i do. Your birthday passed not that long ago and me and heather went to see you...we sat on the bench and talked about all the old times we had together...all the many games of capture the flag and jump the creek. Those memories will always be with us. You know we're down here missing you and thinking about you constantly. You were like a big brother to us girls every day growing up. The other day i was watching home videos of us when we were babies. You were crying becuase i was crawling on top of you...hahaha...I've known you since forever and i can't wait to see you in heaven and get to know the man you've become...Your awesome and i miss you and love you.

Hey man, i already wrote in this almost a year ago when you left. I was woken up this morning from my Dad giving me this mornings paper with you in it saying Happy Birthday from your family. Now i wont stop thinking about you today. As i do from time to time. Its so hard, i never think that your gone. I still always think your here, doing something crazy. Ill probably be like that for the rest of my life, honestly. Besides that, Happy Birthday buddy.
Oh yea, i had an idea to celebrate your memory. Ima try to get ahold of your friend Derek Best, hopefully he can help me get it into gear. To the Herlong Family, you guys are great. Much love.

July 23, 2005
I know you were with us that day we walked across that stage. I never noticed the cross till a few days ago, I was coming home with my mom and at the red light I remembered how it was to know. I still remember how things were last year in english. Now that we are all going our ways it's nice to know that you are looking over us.

dear daniel,
its graduation time and allthough you arnt here to walk with us, you'll be with us in our hearts & in our thoughts. your idea of going comando under your graduation robe will be the thought that will keep me laughing inside. we miss you alot, there isnt a week that passes that your name doesnt come up in conversation. still telling funny stories about you makes it seem like you never left. you'll be in our hearts forever. we love you & miss you more and more each day.
oh and i know you'll hate me for saying this but last night on american idol one of the guys sang sweet home alabama and i know how much you hate that show. i had to laugh.

I hope al is well. We are still thinking about you and can't wait to meet you again.

In Loving Memory
Thanks for all you've done
I've missed you for so long
I can't believe you're gone
You still live in me
I feel you in the wind
You guide me constantly
I've never knew what it was to be alone, no
Cause you were always there for me
You were always there waiting
And ill come home and I miss your face so
Smiling down on me
I close my eyes to see
And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight cause it comforts me
I carry the things that remind me of you
In loving memory of
The one that was so true
Your were as kind as you could be
And even though you're gone
You still mean the world to me
I've never knew what it was to be alone, no
Cause you were always there for me
You were always there waiting
But now I come home and it's not the same, no
It feels empty and alone
I can't believe you're gone
And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight cause it comforts me
I'm glad he set you free from sorrow
I'll still love you more tomorrow
And you will be here with me still
And what you did you did with feeling
And You always found the meaning
And you always will
And you always will
And you always will
Ooo's
And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight cause it comforts me
P.S. Love U BUBBA

your bro Nick
April 14, 2005
I miss you Bubba and think about you everday See u when i get there bro. Heres a little song. So you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground. What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Daniel. i dont know what to say. i cant even begin to say how much i miss you. and it seems like every little thing reminds me of you. but yesterday i went to ur house, and talking to your mom and dad and nick made me feel so much better. it was fun to sit there and hear little stories about you that i never knew before. and it was nice to be able to sit back a laugh when i think of you, instead of always shedding a tear. cuz it was kinda like when u were still around and i could laugh at things you did. u were so lucky to have a family that loved and cared about you so much. and that still do. i think about you everyday, and i pray for you every night. and i know u here me when i come to the cemetary and talk to you, and when i play sweet home alabama for you. i didnt kno it was possible for one person to influence so many lives, and have such a strong impact on each and everyone of them, but thinking back on what a wonderful person you were, i understand how u did. all u had to do was smile to brighten someones day, and even though the thought of that bright smile sometimes brings a tear now, it gives me a warm feeling, cuz i kno u were always smiling, and u always lived life to the fullest, and thats the way it should be. u were smarter than most of Daniel, bcuz u had no regrets, u lived life just like u're supposed to. and i will never forget u bcuz of that. Daniel, all i can say is i love you man, and i cant wait to see u again one day in heaven.
Danny, Maria, and Nick. thank you so much for those couple of hours of your time. i wont ever forget those stories you told me. thank you for being so welcoming. i know things are hard, and i might not be able to do much, but dont be afraid to call me if you need anything. we will never forget Daniel and the wonderful person he was, but i hope time will ease your pain. you are in my prayers. i love you guys. -Amy
