Dear Ferraro family,
I was so saddened to hear about Daniel's passing. He was so cute when I had Victoria. I think of you and your family so often when my students use the Thematic book Bags. I so appreciated all your beautiful painting you did on the bags. I often wondered where you went and how you were doing. I loved having Victoria in my first grade class. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

While I did not know Daniel at all, I heard about this tragic accident through Miami and wanted to share with his family my deepest sympathy. As I read through the guest book and felt tears running down my cheeks, I realized that he must have been an incredible person. So many people loved and appreciated him.

May your memories of him help you through tomorrow.

Ferraro family,
I was fortunate to have gotten to know Daniel while working at the Cone. He was always the hardest worker there...and always smiling, always polite, always so fun to be around. I'm sure you are proud of the young man you raised, knowing how many lives he touched in his short time here, and can be confident in knowing that he is in better hands now...I can imagine the joy he is even bringing into heaven with him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all in this difficult time.
