Hi Daniel, just sitting here thinking of you as I always do, wishing you were here, just want to hug you and pinch your nose just one time, just wish I could see that smile and those cheerful eyes, just wish we could sit and watch a boxing match, just wish I could make you one of those big sandwiches you love and better I wish I could make you a dish of potatoe salad and fry you some chicken wings, we all miss you so much especially your sister, Mani, Mimi and Corey, and your 2 sons Davin and Danny, I wish you could see your granddaughter and your 2 grandsons, the youngest one Santana is ruling the football field, he is a real beast, and your sons are good, Danny looks out for Davin and all your boys spend time together. You got a great niece "Marlee" (Mani's daughter)who loves you so much, she is best friends with your pictures and know who you are, she would be another Shon for you, just as pretty as a picture. Mama love you and miss you so much, if only I had known, I would not have left you alone but I know you already know, and I know you already know how much I love you and how much I miss you, it hurts my heart so much, I know that you are happy and healthy and I know that you are ok, we love you so much. I have not seen you since Jan 2014, please ask GOD if he can bring you to see me again we would both love that, but if not I will always see your face, smiling and saying MaMa, I love you my son continue to rest and keep smiling for us. Love you always, MaMa

Hi Danny, I know that you are just fine, thank you so much for coming to see me, I was so happy to see you, I was amazed at how good you looked, the extra weight suits you, the new hair cut was nice too. You looked wonderful, that made me feel so good, it gave me an unbelieveable sense of peace and calmness. Though nothing will ever erase the feelings of loneliness everytime I look in your room, touch your cloths or things that belong to you, I wish you were there sitting on your bed or running up and down the steps, yelling Mama you gonna make me some potatoe salad, so many things that still make me feel connected and close to you. When I talk to Davin or Lil Danny I think of the things you would be doing with them. I miss you when I look at Shon and see so much of you in her, or when the girls talk about you, and especially when Corey walks in and I look at him, all I see is his Uncle Danny, the older he gets, the more he looks like you. I miss you so much, I never thought I would be without my baby boy, the first love of my life, I would give anything to touch you, hold you, kiss you. I thank God for letting you come see me last week, it meant the world to me, it gave me a sense of peace, I welcome you back anytime, I still pray for you and for your continued happiness, I know you watch over us all, we love you Danny. In two days it will be 3 years since you left us, we continue to miss and love you, talk of you at all family gatherings and privately I still cry many tear, I will always love you, Mama

Hey Danny,
It has been more than a year now but know that you are still in my heart and in my prayers. I look at your pictures and read your letters from time to time. I will hold on to them. I am doing fine. It was a short moment but a long- lasting memory. Until next time. REST in PEACE

Danny, my life has changed so much since to you left me. I miss you so much. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about you. It's still so hard. The memories of our good times is what keeps me smiling instead of crying. LOVE YOUR ONE & ONLY BABY SISTER SHON

Danny, I still cant believe that you're gone, and two days before you left, you were telling me that you hoped i felt better from a cold......I could have never imagined I would never hear from you again. However, that was always your job in the family, to be a protector. The big brother, father, cousin that i will always love!! Rest in peace....love, "BabyGirl"

Hi Danny,
I am so sorry that I was not there when you needed me. When I heard that you were not here anymore, my heart stopped for a second in disbelief, but GOD knows best. I truly believe that, so it was your time to go on home. People say,"Well he is in a better place now." That is true. GOD loves you way more than we could ever love you. You belong to him since the day you were born. I am truly thankful that he blessed me with the opportunity to know you. I also thank you for allowing me to meet you MOM.She is the person that has and will keep me connected to you. I want you to know that I am okay. I hope to see you in my dreams. I think about the talks we had and the dreanms you wanted to fulfill. Oh yeah! You owe me a swim.LOL :-) Well until next time. Sleep and rest. I MISS YOU, DANNY.

Hi Danny
I am so sorry I was not there when you needed me. When I heard you were gone, my heart stopped for a second in disbelief. I couldn't believe that I would not be able to hear your voice anymore, but GOD knows best. People say" Well he is a better place now." That's true but I want to be selfish and want you here a little longer. You owe me a swim.LOL We had some plans to carry out. Well some of them I have already started on. I want you to know that I am okay. I will make a promise to you right now and say that I will stay connected to you thru your MOM always. I have alot I would love to say to you so I hope to see you in my dreams. Sleep and be at PEACE. I MISS YOU!!!!

Hi Danny, I know that you are doing good today and that you were doing good yesterday, and that you will be just fine on tomorrow. Mommy loves you so much and Shon loves you to, Mimi, Mani and Corey love you and miss you. We all miss you, but I'm sure you know that. I look into space everyday and I see your face, just smiling at your MaMa, I wrap my arms around you and give you a big hug and kiss, just like always. I talk to you everyday and you just grin and smile, you are still as handsome as ever and I love you so much. I miss you my son, I wish I could really touch you and wrap you in my arms, I love you my son, I'm always thinking of you and I will always talk to you when I'm really feeling down, because you know you can cheer me up. Danny, never in my life did I ever think I would be without you or that I could even live without both of my children being here for me, you and Shon are my whole life and I love you both so much. Danny, I need you to help your sister, she is having such a hard time without you, just let her know that you are alright and you want her to be alright. MaMa don't want to bore you, my son so for now I'm gonna get back to work. Love you son.

To Carolyn, Shonita and to all other family and friends, I pray that the Lord will be your strength, your comforter and your peace, the peace that surpasses all understanding. Even though I hadnt seen Danny in years, I often thought of him, we grew up together in the same apartment building on 37th street. Danny was like a little brother to me, and he will be missed, he is in a better place, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord,he has gone up ahead us and has stepped into eternity and we will see him again. Rest in peace Danny.

You will always live in my heart...Sleep In Peace...Love Always Your Cousin Dionne

Dearest Danny, This is another day without you, my heart still hurts,it's not getting any better, but I'm still happy because my one and only son is resting peacefully, GOD never makes a mistake and soon he will let you show me how to mend my broken heart and lonely days and restless nights, for now I find peace knowing you are happy and smiling down on me, and of course, you wouldn't be my Danny if you were not protecting, I know I have you to protect me for the rest of my life. I love you Danny. Always and forever Mama

My son, my baby, oh how I love you, but I truly accept that GOD loved you more, and wanted to take you to your heavenly home where you would find the peace and happiness I always wanted for you. I thank GOD for the time he allowed me to be your earthly mother, loving you so much, I know you will just love your new heavenly home and final resting place, I know that you were ready and GOD was happy with you and that makes me happy, GOD only takes his best, you worked hard to meet GOD's approval and he sent your caravan of angles to lift you up and take you home. You prepared me in your own sweet way, your transition took months and during that time you called me on the phone 5 or 6 times every day to tell me how much you loved me and letting me know how tired you were. GOD is good, he granted your final wish that morning when you called me at 6:30 am to tell me how much you loved Mama and asked me to deliver those precious messages to your 2 sons, 1 sister, 1 nephew and your 2 nieces, GOD is so good he knew what you needed to do for Mama, I love GOD for taking you to a better, and I want you to RIP know that your Mama is ok, I will forever miss you my son, I will love you forever and ever, I will never forget your beautiful smile and your strong hugs and sweet kisses all over my face. Love you,love ya,love ya. Mama
