My heart is aching for your loss. I was blessed to serve as Danielle's elementary school counselor. Danielle was wise beyond her years, even at a young age. She was a very special young lady.

Grief can be so difficult, but our special memories can help us cope. I remember Danielle and my son being acolytes together at Linworth when they were younger. Danielle was always so sweet and had such a beautiful smile. I am deeply sorry for your tragic loss. Your family is in our prayers.

I am sooo sorry to hear of your tragic loss. I used to teach Daniel in Sunday School when she was little. She was always sooo sweet and would come up to me at church and give me hugs! Then it made me extremely happy when she was my sons Sunday School teacher. She was sooo good with them. I will miss seeing her smiling loving face. Praying for healing and comfort for those she left behind.
