How could I forget Daniel? He sat right behind me in Mrs. Yarber's English class at Wilson Jr. High in San Diego. We used to laugh and talk and compare test scores which always made me work harder to beat him. What a great soul he was! Funny, short and wore a ball cap. It was a blessing to know and remember him. Sending you prayers for comfort and hope from the real and living God-

I'll never forget the super-sweet kid that sat right behind me in Mrs. Yarber's English class at Wilson Jr. High School in San Diego. We became close friends the first week. Daniel always had a smile, a funny fact and wore ball caps. We would compete for the best test scores, which made me try even harder. I always wondered what happened to him, and found myself saying a prayer for him along my travels and adventures in this world. I was confident he did very well, because he was so smart and fun. You left this earth too early Daniel. Blessings to your family and comfort from a real and Living God.
