Even though we have not met you both we truly feel your loss. I have some really nice friends that I met when I went to QuintCity Baptist Church she was so much inspiration to me before I had any of my children. They are missionaries and there children blossom. There youngest and only son was going to Bible College when he was killed in an auto accident. I often thought they would leave the mission field, no they continue on doing God's work and I know that is such a real testimony in itself. He gives so much strenght in the times of need and we don't always see however we come through it and the memories stay so much alive in us. May God really bless you both and bring comfort and use you for others.

Love and God Bless

Dear Debra, Doug, and Claire- We continue to pray for all of you. What is beyond our comprehension is not beyond God's comprehension. Danielle loved worship and now she is in a place of great worship. I'll never forget her smile, laughter, and joy she brought to so many people. I love you all and God bless you.

2 Cor 1:3-4 (NIV)

-----------------

3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

Debra & Doug & Claire,

We just learned last evening that the accident we had heard of and prayed for the families of, involved your precious family with the loss of Danielle. Our hearts are broken. Your family touched our lives and that of our Ashley in a special way. We only hope you have some knowledge of what that meant to us. I (JoAnn) remember all the times I used to tell Danielle that my grandaughter was named Danielle.She would patiently smile at me. Once I was able to introduce Danielle to Danielle at the Vineyard. We will be praying for you through this time that God will ease the pain and keep the wonderful memories of Danielle fresh and alive in your lives.

Love, Stan, JoAnn, Ashley, Essie, and Shauna

Dear Debra and family...I want to reach out and just hold you. Blessed Mother Mary will! She understands more than I ever could. As much as my heart is breaking, I know it doesn't come close to what you and your family are going through. Only our dear Heavenly Mother Mary can really understand. When I would think of her standing under the cross, looking up at her precious Son Jesus, it would take my breath away. I can't imagine ever being able to go through that torture, yet I know, with God's grace I would. I know it is God's grace, not numbness that is keeping you together and strong. Numbness doesn't allow you to speak boldly to others about our precious Lord. Numbness doesn't allow you to "feel" sadness for another's pain as you do for Amber. Numbness doesn't care about another's salvation. Debra, you are being lifted miraculously by God's infinite grace. I can't embrace you physically, but I can spiritually, with my deep heartfelt prayers for you and your family, now and in the days to come. I am lifting up Danielle's precious soul to the Lord for mercy. I pray she will be forever in His arms and waiting to be reunited with her loving parents and family when they are called home.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in You...Amen ~ Marie Vasta

John 14:1-3. Let not your heart be troubled...In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to myself; that where I am you may be also.

Dear friends and brothers and sisters in Christ,

We should have a posting soon with Danielle's beautiful photo by TOLCS's N.B.

There are several things that you can do for us...

1.Keep praying for us. Pray for salvation of family members who were at the service but still sit on the fence. Pray that they saw God in a bigger way, a loving way. Your prayers are what got us through the service. Now is the day to day process as things start slowing down.

2.If you have any photos with Danielle that you care to give us we would love it. We cannot post our address online but perhaps you can send them to Photos D. Petermann c/o Tree of Life Christian Schools 935 Northridge Rd Columbus Ohio 43224 Please have your name and home address on the outside or we cannot open the letter. Too many weird people out there. Pray for them too.

3. If you have funny stories or stories of when you saw God in Danielle please send them by email. Send it to any of her classmates that you think might have my email. E.E. or B.S. (hints Homecoming queen/ cheerleader. OK to post her stories for God's glory but personal stuff send to her friends thanks!

We you all of you. We are exhausted.

love The Petermanns

Having children of my own that age, I can never even imagine the pain and loss you must be feeling. My heart breaks for you and your family, and I know no matter what is said, nothing will replace your pain, But God. Those two little words that I have always used to get me through tough times. Jesus is now in control of this time, and you and Danielle are in his hands. God bless and keep you in this time of sorrow and joy. Dawna

Danielle had an amazing voice, and everyone knew it too. She was a wonderful young lady not just because of her voice, but also because of her endless caring heart and deep passion for God and the Word. She will never be forgotten in the hearts and minds of all who knew her. May you all find peace in knowing that she is now where she truely belongs.....With God.

Rick, Sarah, Rachel, and Emily Flesch

December 20, 2005

We were are shocked and deeply saddend when we heard the news about Danielle. Words can never express the sorrow of a loss so great.

But what a comfort it is to know that she is with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. What a joy she must have.

It's beautiful that she had such a loving christian family and that we can know without a doubt that she is in a much better place and we will all see her again.

I'm certain that out of this great tragedy God will bring many souls into His kingdom. For God works all things to the good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.

Again our deepest sympathy and heart felt prayers go out to Doug, Debbie, Claire and the rest of Danille's family. But praise be to Christ Jesus for the love and guidence her family gave her while she was with us.

With deepest sympathy,

Isabelle Yocco

We were so blessed to meet Danielle and have her in our lives all these years ,that there will always be a void in our hearts that can only be filled through Jesus' love for all of us. In His Blessings and Love, Dave, Isabelle, Ben, Daniel, Michael, Vincent, and Karli Yocco

Dear Petermann Family,

As a Tree parent we understand the closeness these kids develop through their daily contact and interactions that they may not experience in a larger setting. Danielle and Danita cheered at Tree for 2 years together and I was amazed that she always had a smile on her face and an enthusiasm that seemed endless. I look back at the snapshots we took and there's Danielle smiling..happy just to be! She was supportive of her squad, her school and her friends there. She was such a beautiful girl inside and out and I know you were proud of her for what was in her heart and soul. That was her true beauty! She will be truly missed here but she's enjoying the company of our Father and those that went ahead to greet her! May God bless and give strength to your family. With much love,

Don, Terri and Danita Hatcher

I am somewhat at a loss of what to say yet wanted to let you all know that I am thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers...when I think of Danielle even though I have not really seen any of you all recently I think of joy and laugher and Jesus pouring out from her sweet spirit. I remember years ago after church there was a young girl who was really sad and watching all the others playing and Danielle went over and tried to interact with her soon realizing that the child was deaf starting communicating with her and the girl was delighted it seemed that she knew how to sign and in a few minutes the little girl was smiling and interacting. I have been listening to Mercy Me and the song " I can only Imagine" about when we first get to heaven and sitting heree thinking WOW as I am sitting here reflecting on that Danielle is I am sure singing loud to her and our Creator...

December 19, 2005

Danielle has meant so much to me over the last few years it is a bitter-sweet time now to know that she is finally with the Lord. Danielle taught me so much, but the most important is to take life as it is and not to judge, remembering their is always someone (God) on the other side of every situation. I know that Danielle is and was a beautiful angel forever. Love always, Bethany (doug and deb, claire you are always in my prayers)

Stacey Naylor

December 19, 2005

We seem to give her back to you, dear Lord, who gave her to us. As you did not lose her in giving, so we have not lost her by her return. For what is yours is ours always. And life is eternal, and love is immortal, and what we call death is only an horizon which is the limit of our sight. Lift us up, strong Son of God, that we may see further. Open our eyes that we may see more clearly, that in drawing nearer to you, we may draw nearer to those whom we love who are with you. Amen

Peace be with you Doug, Debra & Claire
