Daniel F. Larrea

It was early in the morning a year ago that I got the phone call about Dan. My heart broke and nothing made sense. How has the world kept spinning for a year? It's not the same without Dan in it. I love you little brother, so much.

Three hundred sixty five days ago Dan was with us. We have had three hundred and sixty five days now without Dan. I have missed him so much all these days, and will continue to miss him the rest of my days. I love that two people are able to see now because of the gift of Dan's corneas. Lord, I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much.

One year ago today. Very very sad. It's been a long year, not being able to talk to or see Dan. Only memories to keep me going. Love you & miss you Dan.

Dan, gentle and giving.

Tomorrow will be 8 months since Dan left us. I miss him just as deeply today as I did then. I always feel him close by tho. I love you little brother. Happy bithday, happy father's day, happy memories. Your big sister, Linda

Dan

Today would have been your 56th birthday. I spent the weekend with Lee, Justin, Ron and Deb and Brian to celebrate/commemorate Father's day and your birthday. Hopefully you got the birthday/Father's Day wishes we sent to you on balloons. You are missed everyday by many, many people. I love and miss you...

Dan, you are missed every day. The passage of time has not diminished the memory of your sweet smile and twinkle in your eyes. It has been over three months, hard to believe. One thing that helps is that I know you are watching over all of us, especially Lee and Justin.

Christmas morning. The first without Dan (and mom). Dan, missing you very much. Just listened to your birthday message to John on his voice mail - hilarious. Always the comedian. So you! You never disappointed us! Always made us laugh. Justin and Lee, thinking of you today, always. We are blessed with all the wonderful memories of our time with him. For that, I am thankful.

We will all be thinking of Dan on Thanksgiving. It was his favorite meal, his favorite time of year. He loved the turkey, loved Lee's pies. He just loved everything about the day! I will miss him so much. I will miss talking to him on the phone and hearing him make the gobble, gobble sound effects. One thing I know I have to be thankful for is that I knew Dan, and had him in my life. My life was better because of him. Let's all have seconds of the dark meat in Dan's honor. Gobble,...
