No one knows why things like this have to happen. It's hard to imagine your pain. All of us on M50 will miss her. Lots of Nurses from other units have called, and sent cards to M50. We as Nurses choose our profession, and dedicate our lifes to help others. It hurts us deeply not to have her helpfull hand and presence around.
Please be sure we will forever remember Danielle. God bless all of you!

Ease your grief, she is not gone, For in your heart she lingers on,... Her smile, her laugh, her special way,...... Will comfort you from day to day.. You'll feel her presence in the breeze,...... That dances gently through the trees.. And it's her face that you shall see,...... When you're in need of company....... At any time you can recall,...... The love you shared...you saved it all....... And in time, more than anything,...... You'll find peace in remembering.


With love & much sympathy and prayers.
God bless

Oh
How I remember the hand that patted my face
And the little chubby arms with thier loving embrace.

The butterfly kisses
The games of peek-a-boo and
The beautiful smile always saying I love you.

And how time flies and before I knew
My beautifully baby daughter into a woman you grew.

Your lovely long hair,
Your sparkling eyes,
You illuminating smile,
As you said your good byes.

Your heart full of love and compassion for others,
I wasn't surprised for I am your mother.

My baby, my daughter, the pride of my life, oh how I will miss you!!!!!
It cuts like a knife!!!

To never hear your voice again or to see your beautiful smile........
I hear you telling me to stay strong now, but it will take me awhile.

I know that you are watching over me from above
Every second of every minute I feel your love.

So ---

I smile as I close my eyes and remember,
The hands that patted my face,
The little chubby arms with thier loving embrace.
The butterfly kisses the games of peek-a-boo
And the beautiful smile always saying I love you

Until we are together again
Love,
Mom

To my loving sister, whom I miss very much, how do I begin to say good bye. It's so hard
to find the words to express how I feel when I don't want to accept the fact that your gone.

All I have left are the memories of the moments we shared and the times we spent together.

Remember when we was little we had bunk beds, mine was the top and yours was the bottom.
You would wake me up in the middle of the night, because you had to use the restroom.
I would turn on all the lights and check the rooms. After you felt it was safe I would wait out
in the hallway until you were done and then we would go back to bed.

We played tee-ball together when we were young and as we got older we played softball.

I can recall a particular game we played when we were on the same team. You was the
catcher and I was out in the right field. When the batter hit the ball I ran out to the left
center field and actually caught it. The game was over and I ran straight to you and gave you
a big hug.

I'll never forget when you told me how happy and proud you was of me.

Danielle, you was always there for me, you helped me with my homework and wouldn't let me
give up no matter how frustrated I got. You believed in me and told me that I could do anything
as long as I tried, and you were right.

I'm going to miss the good times we had. It was always so much fun when we went bowling,
watch movies, shopped at the mall, and sang on your karie yokee machine. I'll even miss the
petty arguments we had when we ended up pulling out eachothers hair, but especially the deep
secrets we shared.

I'll never forget the advice you've given me, and how you were there for me when my
children were born. You and Olivia had such such a special bond. She always looked up to you
and you meant so much to her.

You accomplished so much in you life but was taken too soon. You were always committed to
the goals you set and saw through it to succeed.

I'm angry, I'm up set, and broken hearted to know that we'll never see eachother again,
we'll never have our sister talks again, we'll never be able to create new memories, and I'll
never be able to hug you or tell you how much I love you.

I am thankful for God letting us have the time we spent in Puerto Rico. Although I can't
believe that was the last time I go to see you. It does sucure me to know that you're in heaven
and safe with God now.

Danielle you will be truly missed by all of us. You were a loving daughter, a wonderful mother,
a beautiful intelligent women, an incredible aunt, my big sister, my only sister, and most of all
my best friend.

Danielle I'll never forget you, you will always be in my heart and in my prayers.
I love you very much.
Your sister Gabrielle

Danielle was one of the nurses that were so instrumental in helping restore health to my wife in a very trying time. She was very kind and loving and always comforting and supportive throughout the treatment. We have many delightful memories of Danielle and will always cherish her medical expertise. But even more, we will never forget how she cared for us and endeared herself to us. It is with much sadness that we accept her passing, but with exceeding joy that we remember her care and friendship. I can't imagine a more loving and caring person to have as a nurse and friend during our time at The Cleveland Clinic.

I had the pleasure of attending nursing school at KSU with Danielle, we carpooled to many clinicals and our sons even played together a few times. I was always struck by her compassion for her patients and her friendliness. We are so shocked by her death and will always remember what a wonderful nurse and overall compassionate, caring person she was.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
