Uncle Danny,
Here it is the end of April and I still think of you daily. With each passing day it does not get easier, it only gets harder. I often cry and wish that you would just come back. Every time I hear the song "I drive you Truck" by Lee Brice, I break down. It reminds me so much of you. I really wish I could call you just to say hi or ask some stupid question or get advice. I often feel lost and not sure who to call. I speak of you daily so the girl dont forget you. Brooklyn in doing good but I know that she still tinks of you often. Hanna is still sad by losing you and Karra gets upset when we mention you. I have yours and Aunt connies stuff in the cabinet as a reminder of your life and love.
I will love and miss you always.

I light this candle for you uncle Danny. As I lie here in bed just thinking of you I am able to smile at the memories and conversations we shared. I have often wondered over the past couple of Weeks how to go on with out you and your advice. I have come to realize that you are still here with me just in a different way. Uncle Danny you would have been so proud of me. I fixed my own car. I truly believe that you were standing over me as I was looking under the hood of my car guiding me. I must say you taught me well. I will forever Miss you and always remember just how proud you were of me. Thank you for all that you taught me for your words of wisdom will forever live on in my heart.
