Danny,
How is it possible that you´ve been gone from us for 25 years?? I think of you often and wonder who you´d be now, how many kids you´d have, and what you´ll be doing in your life. Christmas Eve, I thought about how that was the last time we all saw you together as a family. I know you had your own family celebration in heaven with grandma and grandpa, Chris, and Nicole; just wish you were all here to give you a hug!
Love ya!
Auntie Lynda

Dear Donna, You may remember me or not. We lived by you on St Thomas drive, 2 doors down. I´m Joshua´s mom Karen. We recently heard that Danny had passed away from Cindy & Binky.
Danny was like a fixture at our house the whole time we lived there. Him and Josh were like brothers in those days. When we moved up north he came with us just to be with Josh and be helpful.
Over the years his name has come up a lot. Now that I know of his passing I´d like to think that he was connecting with us from heaven.
I´ve read a lot of the messages on here and it sounds like he turned out to be an amazing man.
I am so sorry for your loss of Danny.
I´m also sorry to hear of Nichole and Chris passing away. I did let my kids know of your losses. Amber remembers all of them but Lauren was only 2 when we moved. Amber was 5 and had the biggest crush on Danny! He had the biggest and brightest smile all the time.
Sending you hugs and condolences.

Hi Danny. I just transferred all of my bookmarks and found the link to this book. Paul Mark is back in town and Jaymy and I are going to go out with him tonight. Chris and Mark are busy, but we sure do wish you and Nicole could come out, too! As I get older...as I've passed you up in years...it seems surreal. I think we could have become closer as we got older, and it hurts that we were never given that chance. I miss you and Nicole, I love you both.
(PS Guess what?!? Tabitha got ENGAGED!)

Danny,
It's been way too long since I've been on here last. I'm realizing that people don't come on here that often anymore. It's hitting me pretty hard these last couple days. I start thinking about life and how things use to be...before you were taken from us. I remember everything. The Christmas. The wedding. Getting dads call. It still seems so unreal. Never will it get any easier. I wish you were here to help me thru everything.
I love you and miss you with all of my heart. Forever and always big brother.

Happy Easter.. Tomorrow is Easter, another holiday without you here. Remember the last Easter that you were here with us, 2005. You were so happy that you FINALLY got to hid the eggs at Grandma's house. You hid all the bigger kids really hard. I think your brother finally gave up finding his. A day doesn't go by that I think of you. You are always on my mind. Just remeber that everyone loved you and misses you very much.. Love Mom

Hi Danny, I just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you. Ella is three and a half, now, and I've had a son, Seamus, who turned one on Friday the 1st. We missed you at his birthday party on Sunday, your mom and Nicole and her kids were here, and playing in the sandbox and eating lots of fruit. You should have seen Danasia sitting in the back of Seamus' new dump truck. Precious! Your birthday is coming up soon, too. 28! Crazy!
You are missed.
Love you!

DANNY~~~
I wanted to write this on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day however I didn't. I did come by to see you on Christmas Eve to light up your tree. I hope it was shinning for you on Christmas Eve night. Well another Christmas has come and gone without you here. Its not the same without you here. Will probably never be the same ever again. Not to see your bright big smile or your laugh. It makes me sad when I think about you not being here with all of us. I light a candle at home for you by your pictures from time to time when I'm sad and I'm thinking of you. Sometimes words can't explain how I feel about missing you. I cry all the time. I don't think the hurt will ever go away and I really don't want it to. I hope no one ever forgets you and remembers you always. Well any ways. MERRY CHRISTMAS MY DANNY BOY !!!! LOVE YOUR MOMMY

Hey Danny.
I dont know whats going on lately. Some days I am the happiest person in the world and I love life completely. Other days, I feel depressed and lost. I sometimes think its because its this time of year again. The first and last time you and I danced. The first and last time we hugged. The first and last time we had Xmas as a "true" family. Everytime I think about you I remember Xmas and being upstairs talking to you. You and Jason were playing the nitendo. I remember you swingin your arms in punching motions imitating the guy on the boxing game. Then, I start to remember the day of the wedding. How Jason couldnt get the tie, you walked in dads room and showed him just how to do it. I wish we had one more day. Just one more day and I would never ever waste a single second on the stupid things i did. i wouldnt just smile at you and think 'God its great we are finally family' or 'God i want to tell him how happy i am and that i love him' I would just tell you. I miss you so much.
and now i just wonder,,is it really me thinking about you thats getting me depressed or am i just not understanding whats bothering me. idk i'm really confused.
I love you Danny. Thanks for always being there for me. Even, when I didnt even realize you were there for me.
I love you!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DANNY`
It still isn't right that you are not here and it's not getting any easier. Tatyana still talks about you all the time. I don't know if she really does remember you, but she seems to remember that you used to chase her around and make monster noises at her. She told me the other day that you had a broken heart and thats why you died. And that you are Spider Man, but not the black one but the red one. Also that Chris is a super hero. When she talks about you she gets real sad and gets tears in her eyes when she talks about you. I was thinking of you when Grandmas gave a toast for Thansgiving dinner and asked if any one has anything to be thankful for and all I could think of was that I am thankkul to have had you for my son for 25 wonderful years which I kept to my self and at the same time Nicole said she was thankful for having me as her Mom which brought tears to my eyes. Holidays have never been the same since you left us. I love you very much and miss you terribly...Love MOM

Hey Danny,
I can't believe its going to be 2 years already...it's seems lik eternity. I miss you like crazy, altho i'm sure you already kno that. I write to you all the time on looseleaf that I find in folders. There are times in class when i am ready to break down, I pull out looseleaf and write a letter to you. I have about 15 little folded up notes stashed away.
I had my interviews for Sears,,each time i looked at your picture and prayed that you would help me through this b/c i really wanted this job..and you did, you really helped me.I have a third interview! My friend said the third was her orientation :) Thank you for still being here with me.
I just wish you were here to give me a hug and tell me everything is going to be okay. There is only one time that i remember that you gave me a hug. It was at dad's wedding. You gave me a hug and i never wanted to let go. I felt so safe. I want to go back to that moment..and i want to never ever let go...I love you Danny.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN DANNY,
Well another Halloween is here and gone. You always loved this time of year. You always liked dressing up in a costume. Taty wanted to be a witch this year and Nicole painted her face scary and she looked in the mirror and got scared and cried. She had Nicole take all the makeup off. I really miss you. You are always on my mind day and night. For some reason, you always seen to pop in my mind when I'm driving home from work. Its like every day.
Can you beleive the weather lately. You would love it since you hated when it got cold cause then it would be colder in the shop and then your hands would always be so chapped. Grandma actually bought you some cream after Christmas and never was able to give it to you. I think she still has it. I really can't beleive its will be 2 years that you've been gone. I'm really having a hard time dealing with that. I am always looking at your pictures in disbeleif. Well anyways huggs and kisses......MOM

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANNY```
Well its your birthday again. You'd be 27 today. We came to see you today, me, Mike, Nicole, Jennifer and Tatyana. We brought you 2 balloons but Taty wanted to take the Elmo one home. I didn't think that you would mind. We went to the family reunion and fought off the bees all day. You would of loved it, they had all your favorites things, FOOD. I've been really done lately, been thinking a lot about you. I'm going to redo your baby blanket, as soon as I feel up to it. I've been in contact lately with the lady from the tissue bank. As to date you have helped over 54 people and possibly 30 more. She didn't get all the feed back from the places that your bone tissues have been sent. Alot of it was bone tissue and there was someone who even got a vein. You've helped people inoer 24 states. It's truely amazing, that you are still living in other people.
I wanted to share another site with anyone who is still reading this..it's dannybourbon.blogspot.com
I love you and miss you very much, hugs and kisses...Mom

Danggg Danny it's been a while since i've been on here. Well, you know how i wasnt talking to my guy friend all summer b/c of reasons...well, after a dream, with you in it of course lol, i called him and we talked for 48 minutes! We would have talked for longer but his sister kicked him off the phone. It completely made my night. It was one of the best nights ever. I broke down the night before b/c i had no one to talk to about the situation. I needed an older brother to talk to. I couldnt talk to jason..b/c well, he just isnt interested in that lol. I couldnt talk to Chris b/c a) i didnt have his number and b)i'm not sure if he wanted to hear about it :). but n/e way i broke down and i was crying to you. and that was the night that i ended up having the dream of u...you were there telling me to talk to him and in my dream i did, and all was better. so i woke up and i called and called until i finally reached him and things are better. Idk if its just a coincidence or if you really are watching over and helping me. But, either way. Thank you again. I'm sure u are watching over us. I miss you Danny Boy. Hey! 2 more years and i can get that tatoo i wanted :D :D :D
I love you

IF TEARS COULD BUILD A STAIRWAY.
AND MEMORIES A LANE.
I WOULD WALK RIGHT UP TO HEAVEN
AND BRING YOU BACK AGAIN.
NO FAREWELL WORDS WERE SPOKEN,
NO TIME TO SAY "GOODBYE"
YOU WERE GONE BEFORE I KNEW IT.
AND ONLY GOD KNOWS WHY.
MY HEART STILL ACHES WITH SADNESS.
AND SECRET TEARS STILL FLOW.
WHAT IT MEANT TO LOVE YOU-
NO ONE CAN EVER KNOW.
BUT NOW I KNOW YOU WANT ME
TO MOURN FOR YOU NO MORE:
TO REMEMBER ALL THE HAPPY TIMES.
LIFE STILL HAS MUCH IN STORE.
SINCE YOU'LL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
I PLEDGE TO YOU TODAY-
A HOLLOWED PLACE WITHIN MY HEART
IS WHERE YOU'LL ALWAYS BE.....

DANNY~
I've been having some really bizzar dreams lately. One was the other night. I saw Mike walking away from me and I kept calling his name but he never stopped. And then I was in a room full of people. They were people I knew but I only saw a few faces. I felt a pressence like they were people that were deceased. A little girl dressed in white came up to me and said " GRANDMA ". For some reason I knew it was Angle, Nicole's baby that was still born. I kept hearing Nicole's voice but I never saw her and then there was a head stone and it was mine. I only saw my name on it. I saw your Uncle Tommy and felt the presence of your Grandma Bourbon, Nancy (Joey's Mom) for some reason I saw Joey and Ben Orth. I couldn't figure out what was going on because I think every one that was there was dead. There were a group of people but the only face I saw was you and Joey said theres Danny. I went over by you and noticed that every one had a box or something and they were all full but yours wasn't. I asked you why and you said "Mom don't worry about it." You walked away from me up some stairs and it was dark you sad something to me and you were gone. I remember the whole dream but can't remember what you said. I woke up crying and thinking for some reason that you are not at peace. Weird heh.
Danny I miss you so much at times it really hurts knowing that you aren't here any more. I look at your pictures all the time and cry. Every one Loves You and misses you so much........LOVE< YOUR MOM

Hey Danny,
Just thinking about you again. I don't think a day goes by that I don't remember something about you.
I looked out the window and was thinking about the great weather we've been having and then remembered how much you loved to play softball. It's funny how that happens. I think about something and then you pop into my mind.
Love you lots,

Danny.....
Well, Danasia is 1. You never had a chance to meet your little neice, Nicole was pregnant with her when you passed away, but I know you see her. She's a big Momma's baby. Tatyana will be 3 soon. She talks about you all the time and calls you an angel. She also thinks you're Spiderman. I thinks about you all the time, every day. It hurts so much that you are not here. I miss you terribly. I have pictures of you at work and lot at home. Why did you have to leave us. I need you all the time. We finaly got word to Michelle that you passed away. Apparently she has been trying to get in touch with you. I feel so bad that we didn't find her when you died. I really wanted her to be at your funeral, but wasn't able to lacate her.
I sometimes feel your presence around me at times. At least I think its you. Things fall, like 2 of my shelves fell off the wall and scared the crap out of me. Remember how you used to jump out at me and scare me all the time. Or I'd be in the kitchen and turn around and you'd be right in my face. You thought that was so funny and then I'd hit you. Just little things like that I miss. I miss talking to you. I miss your voice, your laugh and your smile. I really miss hearing you tell me "Every thing will be ok Mom" and I love you mom. I haven't been there lately to visit and I feel bad about that but I talk to you alllll the time.....LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU....MOM

HEY DANNY,
YESTERDAY WAS MOTHERES DAY. I REALLY MISS YOU BEING HERE. I CAME TO VISIT YOU YESTERDAY, SO THAT I COULD SPEND SOME TIME WITH YOU. I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME CRY ALL THE TIME.

Oh Danny i wish u were here. Another Girl died from my school. Her name was Candi. Its horrible. That is the fourth person to die from our school in two weeks from a car accident, there were the three Hmong boys who died, and now Candi. :( I wish you were here so i could literally talk to you about all this.
Tabitha Haeuser
April 29, 2007
Hey Danny,
Ever since you died, I've had my good days and bad days, as does everyone. Well, on my bad days, while in school, I would write to you, and i have quite a collection of letters to you, and since i cant "mail" them to you, i figure, wat better place to put them.
so here's one of the verrry first ones, like, maybe 2 months after you died or so.
Dear Danny
I miss u alot. I wanna be able to hear your laugh, see your smile, and talk to you, like we use to. Remember at Christmas hwne I asked you if you would come to my school and beat up all my ex-bf's? I dont know why i brought that up again. A part of me was worried, I always wanted you to be like my older brother, and a part of me didnt know when I'd ever see you again. Turns out, I never did. I miss you so much. I wanna cry a thousand tears, but i know it wont bring you back. Even when Granny died, I didnt feel this empty. Maybe it was because we knew; we knew it was only a matter of time, we were able to brace ourselves with the reality that we were never gonna see her agian. You were so sudden. I feel like there is a spot inside me that is a big black hole. Empty space. Empty, sad space. God, I cant say enough how much i really really miss you. I was, and still am, so happy when our parents got married. I felt so connected to you. I couldnt wait to come down to Daddy's house and be able to call you my brother, ask to go out for a "family" dinner, movie, or watever. I got one weekend to do that, Christmas. It's not fair. You shouldnt be gone. I feel really depressed today and idk y, obviously b/c i miss you, but idk EXACTLY why. It's wierd. I miss you so much! I hope you're doing good. I love you with all of my heart and so much more! Your sister, Tabitha.
It's funny, because i can remember where i wrote this, all da details. I was in Physical science, front row, in my desk, fourth row from the door. I can remember that, but i cant remember anything for my World studies quizzes! :) I love you Danny.
>>>ps. I'm sry. I didnt mean to make n/e body cry. :)<<<

Hey DAnny,
I went to your grave with Donna last weekend. I never really know what to think. Its just so unreal. The fact that you are actually there, underneath the mud. It's still denial for me. I continue to see people who look like you and for an instant I think, Oh my God, Thats Danny. But no, they turn around and although they kind of look like you, at the same time, they are nothing like you.
It was so much fun having Easter over at Grandma and Grandpa Camdens'. Did you know that is only like...the second time i've had Easter there. I got to hide eggs! I loved feeling like i was apart of your family's traditions. ANd the fact that your family has so much love. Its amazing. I love them. I just wish you were here with us. To celebrate each day. Why didn't God let you stay? Why didn't he give you another chance?
I continue to wonder every single day, Why? But no one can answer that question for me. No one. I wonder if we will ever truely know. Probably not.
Either way, I love you, and I just remember everyday that one day I'll be reunited with you and Granny, as well as many of the other loved ones I've lost. I love you Danny.
Oh and By the way. On Easter, I almost started crying immediatly because when Chris walked in the door, I've never ever, seen anyone look so much like you. It was simply amazing. I couldnt take my eyes off of him, it was like seeing you, in the flesh. But instead, it was Chris. If only you were here Danny. I miss you so much.
I love you and Pray that you are out of pain and sorrow. Bye for now.

HI DANNY>>
I left you a Spiderman Easter Egg and some flowers. Every time I show Tatyana Spiderman, she says Uncle Danny is Spiderman. She's a smart little girl. On Easter at Grandma's you still have eggs but grandma doesn't hide them any more. She leaves them on the table for me. We finally saw the tape from my wedding. I was glad but sad. I was able to see our dance together, actually our last dance ever. You kissed my hand at the end. You were always a good son, with a very big heart. I only wish that I knew that your big heart had some problems going on that no one knew about. Danny I miss you so very much. We sure could of used your help lately. Of coarse we have car problems, Nicole especially. Please what over her and Mark when they are driving. She needs to get a new car and the old one isn't going to last much longer. Can you beleive shes had that car for 4 years now. We are supose to be getting snow. I hope I'll be able to find you. I think were supose to get 8 inches or more. Miss you lots...Love Mom...

~DANNY~
I came to see you yesterday and I was very upset. I couldn't find your grave. It was buried in all that snow. It made me cry. I'm sure you thought I was a crazy lady and if any one saw me trying to find your head stone probably thouth the same thing. All my foot marks in the snow looks like I was walking around in circles. I wanted to leave you some thing for St Patricks Day and a cute little 8oz can of Miller Lite. Now I have to wait until the snow melts a little. Next year I will have to put some thing tall on your grave so that I can find you if it snows. I had a dream the other night, I don't really remember all of it just that it was about you and Chris and you were trying to find him. I wish I had more dreams of you, like from when you were growing up.
Mike and I are moving to Grafton in 3 weeks. I also excepted a different position at the AH clinic in Mequon. Too many changes in my life since you left us. I know change is supose to be good, but the one change I don't like is that you were taken away from us so soon in our lives. There were so many things for us to do. Like I've said so many times, you were the glue that held our family together. You never had a chance to meet your neice Danasia, she is such a little cutie. I came across a picture of your Grandma and Grandpa Bourbon from when they were first married. I made a copy for Nicole at Grandma Camdens house and she said look at Grandpa Bourbons eyes, Danny has his eyes. I never noticed that before and when you cover his nose and mouth in the picture you can see it. You were such a good man and every one always tells me that. Danny, I miss you so very much. Just keep watching over all of us. Help your brother and sisters make all the right decisions in life just like you always did when you were here, except you'll just have to whisper it too them......Love MOM

....HAPPY VALENTINES DAY DANNY....
It's really hard to have to write to you this way on Valentines Day. In the past it was always done with a special card that always started out as "To my Son on Valentines Day" I always took my time in picking out cards for all of you, and they were always from my heart. Instead now I come to visit you at the cemetary and leave something for you. I left you a heart and a red carnation. Red stands for love and I love you very much and miss you so very much. I think about you all the time. I say good night to you every night. It still hurts a lot not having you here. I never imagined how much it would hurt losing you, not to have you here to talk to or to spend time with.
Some times life just isn't fair and the most unexpected things happen. Well anyways, I love you and miss you very much......Mom

Danny....
Thursday night I was having a hard time going to sleep, just like every night, and something starteled me and I woke up. I don't know what is was but I looked around and looked at the clock and thought, good I still have lots of time before I have to get up. So I get all comfortable again, and look up at the door way. I couldn't beleive what I saw!!! It was you, like a shadow but white like glowing. I saw your face like you were peeking in my room, and you were smiling. I just stared for like 20 seconds and then blinked and you were gone, I even said "no, come back". It made me cry and it took awhile for me to go back to sleep. It kind of scared me but in a happy way.
I talk to you all the time in my mind and have been asking for you to come see me, so thanks for that. I only wish I could here you and for you to tell me every thing is ok. I always ask you to watch over all of us, that nothing bad happens. I also always ask you to give your brother Chris a swift kick in the butt from time to time to just keep him in check. I worry about him all the time. When you were here you gave him guidance and he listened to you. Your cousin Jaymy misses you alot also because you guys were starting to get closer and hanging out a lot more. You left a big, big hole in all of our hearts. I keep going back to that awful night in my mind and remembering seeing you there on the floor, not moving or breathing. I was numb, didn't know what to do or how to handel things. I'm sure I was in shock and disbelief. I still can't believe that you aren't here.
Well, I love and miss you so very much and I know that some day we will be together again. I'm still waiting for you to come to me in my dreams or something to let me know it's ok. Love Mom....

DANNY~~
I'VE BEEN THINKING OF YOU ALOT AND STILL NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY. I LOOK AT YOUR PICTURES ALL THE TIME AND STILL CAN'T BELEIVE THAT YOU ARE GONE. I COME TO VISIT YOU ALL THE TIME AND TALK TO YOU AND SOME TIMES I JUST STAND THERE AND STARE AT YOUR NAME AND CRY. I DON'T THINK I WILL EVER GET OVER WHAT HAS HAPPENED. YOUR DEATH AFFECTED A LOT OF PEOPLE. I ONLY WISH I KNEW THAT YOU WERE HAVING PROBLEMS AND THAT YOU WOULD OF TALKED TO ME ABOUT THINGS THAT WERE GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE. I MEAN WE DID TALK A LOT ABOUT THINGS. I JUST FELT SO HELPLESS THAT NIGHT, I'M GLAD THAT CHRIS WAS THERE TO HELP BECAUSE I FREAKED OUT. I SEE YOUR FACE WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES AND REMEMBER YOUR VOICE ASKING ME TO COME HELP YOU CAUSE YOU WERE HURTING AND TO HURRY BECASUE YOU WERE SCARED. WELL I WAS SCARED TOO AND STILL AM. I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH AND MISS YOU ALOT..........LOVE, YOUR MOM

I was hoping to write on here on the second, but I've been so busy with school, and activities. I can't find time anymore for anything. I really wish you were here. I am really gettin nervous bout my road test in Feb. Just to have you here, so we can go driving, ugh. So many things I was excited about, that we could finally do together (being that we were legally brother n sister). BF help, advice, cheering up, hangin out, driving, my sweet 16, my awesome 18, then 21, graduation, etc. Not one of my big events did we get to experience. I know I still have Chris and we have become sooo much closer (or at least i think) but it would still b nice to share these memories with the both of you.
It hardly feels like its been a year. Feels like its been 2 months. I can still here Daddy telling me to put Jason on the phone b/c he only wants to tell us once. When he said Danny died, I thought, cousin Danny, ok, wow. But, I guess he could read my mind, because he repeated, but this time saying Danny Bourbon. Bourbon, the word sent my head spinning and tears spilling. I looked up realizing my mom and sister were clueless. realizing I would have to explain to them too. It was the hardest day I have ever had to endure.
I love you Danny, and although our time was short. You changed my life. I love you so much. I regret never telling you how much I loved you.
Bye for now my angel.
I love you.

A year ago today was the worst day of my life. Losing you was one of my worst night mare except it was real. I still can't beleive that you aren't here any more. I come to visit you all the time and it hurts every time. I thought time was supose to heal the heart, well it still hurts. Just to hear you laugh or just your great big smile. Just remember that a lot of people loved you and miss you very much. Love and kisses.....Mom.............
New Year's Eve 2006

January 2, 2007
It's hard to believe that one year ago, we got the call that we had lost you. We were all in such shock!
We've gone through all the "firsts": Easter, Mother's Day, your birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas and now New Years. Time is supposed to heal, so we go on living; but I don't know if it's really gotten any better. It's so unbelievable that you're not here with us.
Today will be a hard day for us to get through; I'm sure you are on so many minds right now. (It was hard falling asleep last night; I just kept going over my memories of you.)
We'll go on missing you and loving you and holding you in our hearts, and pray that someday, time really will heal this hurt that we carry so deeply inside.
Love, Auntie Lynda

HAPPY NEW YEARS DANNY*****
I wanted to write on here for Christmas, but it was too hard for me to do. Christmas was nice, but really different.I had Nicole, Mark, Tatyana, Danasia and Chris over for dinner. Jennifer came later. I just wish we would of had the nice Christmas Eve dinner last year when you were with us like I wanted to do anyways. Nicole wanted it to be at her house so I didn't agrue. I only wish I would of talked to you more that whole week between Christmas and New Years. Remember when you called me to take you to the store because you wanted to bring beef tips for work for your Christmas party and asked "How do you make beef tips anyways"? I never asked you how they turned out.
Going to see you the other day was really hard on me. I hope you liked the little tree I left for you and the lights. I just put them back on the tree yesterday so that you would have them for New Years Eve. I also left you the picture, your last picture ever, from last New Years Eve for you to look at. I wanted to leave you my last Miller Lite that I had in the fridge, but I forgot it.
Tonight Nicole is having a New Years Eve party. She went over to Grandmas to get her folding chairs but then remembered that you had borrowed them last year and then wasn't sure if she should. That is so weird because I was thinking the same thing when she told me that she was going to borrow them but I didn't want to tell Nicole what I was thinking.
Danny you are always on my mind, morning, noon and night. Driving in the car even when I at work. I talk about you all the time. People say things will get better with time. How can it when I have such a big hole in my heart and it hurts all the time. I miss you so much and especially all our talks. I miss all the "I Love you mom" and your big hugs.....Love and Kisses..MOM

Hey there danny,
Wow i cant believe it has already been a whole year since you passed. It seems just like yeaterday taht i was getting that phone call fom mom.

I hope you continue to look down on all of us and make sure chris stays inline. But for now i will go and i will talk to you soon.
Love you always Jen

Hey Danny boy
so, Xmas day was here and gone so quickly. u kno that is the last time i ever saw you.it was like deja vu b/c i went up into that one room we hung out in last xmas, and Chris was up there. PLaying nitendo. same spot u were sitting. i felt like i was reliving last year, but instead of u there it was Chris.
It was nice, being there talking to Chris and actually feeling like we were brother and sister. Its wat I've been wanting for the past years. It was really nice. I was sure to say good-bye b/c this xmas just seemed so real and so much like last xmas. It was just wierd.
But it fun, talking to Chris. We laughed and it wasnt just awkward laughing (u kno just trying to kill the silence) it was laughing. Like we were friends. It was just so great.
n/e ways...i get my license hopefully in Febuary. On the 21st
I'm really xcited. Hopefully I get it. It would really really suck if i didnt.
Ugh and now i have finals coming up. so much stress. lol.
well Kayli is crying so i'll ttyl.
love u so much

♥Hey Danny!♥
♥Well, I'm 16 Whoot-Whoot!!!♥
it'd b better if u were here. I can just picture u driving with me, acting like a big brother, helping me prepare for my road test. It really bites that u arent here to do those things with me. Xmas is coming up and its gonna b hard. its kinda wierd that last yr was our first and last xmas together *(as the Haeuser family)* i cant tell u how much i luved every minute that we were together. I wish we could go back to when our parents met and relive those yrs. and freeze at xmas. just keep repeating those years that i luv so much. ♥
♥Everything was good back then, it all made sense. I didnt lie awake at night and wonder y u? y Grandma? y my friend?? It was just perfect. I didnt know death was such an issue...I was just looking forward to xmas presents and coming to dad's for the wknd, hoping to c u, chris, jen, nicole, and donna. it was one of my few joys in life. to b able to go to school and brag "I get to see Chris, Danny, Nicole, and Jen this wknd, we're gonna have soooooo much fun" Kids would get annoyed. I couldnt have been happier...oops i'm going down memory lane again. lol. Seems to happen a lot now. Wishing i could go back to the sacret yrs, when all was good. ♥
♥Well, anyway, just came on to say hi and i miss u so much. I cant wait to see you again some day down the road. Who knows, it could b anyday..i hope not...but wat can i do? I learned over the years to live life to ur fullest b/c i may b ur last. ♥
♥Smile even when ur mad, laugh so hard at the silliest jokes, cry at the good and the bad, befriend as many people as you can, and tell your family I LOVE YOU every minute u get, b4 u leave the house, b4 bed, anytime.♥
♥It seems i really tend to ramble on this website. lol. I guess its because Danny you touched my life through out the time that you were here and I want to write about it, I wanna show it to the world, I want the whole world to know that your my brother and u are the greatest guy anybody could have possibly known.♥
♥ok i'm gonna stop now b/c this is pbly really really long ♥
so good bye and i ♥ u with all of my ♥.

Danny,
There is such a hole in our hearts without you here. I pray for your Mom and your brother and sisters every night. So much time has gone by since we lost you, yet it seems like it just happened. Will we ever get used to you not being here with us? Somehow, I don't think so. We'll just have to keep learning to live without you day by day.
Christmas will be hard. We have so many wonderful memories of you so, in a way, you will be here with us. We'll always have you close in our hearts.
Love,
Auntie Lynda

Danny.....
When I wrote on here last I memtioned how nice it had been out side. Well little did I know that 2 days later we would have our 1st snow storm and it would be a blizzard. And now its cold, so I'm sure you would be wearing your long under ware to work. I wish I would of kept that blue hat that you always wore in the winter, but I threw it out. I'm so mad at my self tht I did that. I came across it a while back and it up set me, so I threw it in the garbag and now I wish I had it. I can still see you in my mind, coming home from work and seeing you walk up the sidewalk wearing that blue hat and the blue work coat with the hood up, that Mike gave you. And then you would go up stairs and peel off all your layers of clothing and take a hot shower. Of coarse you always put your dirty clothes in the hamper. Yeah right, some were in the hall way on the floor in front of the hamper and the rest on the floor in the bathroom. Remember I always used to get mad at you when I was doing your was. Your greasy work pants always had 1 leg inside out and then I had to stick my hand in those greasy pant to turn it the right way. I miss that in a way. I just miss you so very much and still cry pretty much every night when I go to bed.
Happy St Nicks. When I came to see you on Sunday, I left you a little Christmas tree and left a peppermint candy cane. I think the tree is one that I had for you guys when you were little. Remember how I always had one for you and Chris and for the girls in your bedrooms all lit up. I even gave you one for the apartment that you had with James and Josh. James thought that was so neat. It's going to be really hard on Christmas going to Grandma"s and you not being there, but actually every day is hard without you here.
Happy St Nicks, I see you tonight as long as its not dark when I get off work. LOVE YOU......Mom

IT'S BEEN REALLY NICE OUT LATELY. I'M SURE YOU WOULD LIKE THIS WEATHER. FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR ITS ABOVE NORMAL. I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU DREADED THE WINTER MONTHS. YOU WOULDN'T EVEN NEED YOUR LONG UNDERWARE. I MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH. NICOLE REALLY NEEDS YOU NOW, SHE IS SO LOST RIGHT NOW. I THINK WE ALL ARE. THINGS ARE SO DIFFERENT WITH OUT YOU HERE. THANKSGIVING WASN'T RIGHT. AND NOW WITH CHRISTMAS COMING. I DON'T HAVE ANY ONE TO BUY LONG UNDERWARE FOR ANY MORE.
TATY TALKS ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME. I HOPE ALYSSA REMEMBERS YOU. MIKE AND I BOUGHT HER A CABBAGE PATCH DOLL FOR HER BIRTHDAY A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. I ALSO GAVE JOSH AND CATHY A COPY OF THAT PICTURE THAT AUNTIE LAURA TOOK OF YOU LAST YEAR CHRISTMAS DAY. ALYSSA GRABBED IT FROM TAYLOR AND SAID "THATS MINE". SHE IS REALLY GETTING BIG AND TALKING MORE. I HOPE SHE NEVER FORGETS YOU.
GRANDMA GAVE ME A LITTLE PINE TREE THAT HAS CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS ON IT. I WANTED TO BRING IT TO THE CEMETARY FOR YOU BUT I'M AFFRAID IT WILL FREEZE. I WANT TO PLANT IT NEXT SPRING SOME WHERE SO THAT IT WILL REMIND ME OF YOU. I'M COMING BY TO PUT SOME CANDY CANES OUT FOR YOU. ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU.........MOM

LAST WEEKEND WAS MIKE AND MY 1ST ANNIVERSARY. REMEMBER THE WEDDING, YOU HAD SO MUCH FUN DANCING AND DOING KARIOKE. I'LL WILL ALWAYS REMEBER THE DANCE YOU AND I HAD. THE WHOLE DAY WAS SO MUCH FUN AND I'M GLAD THAT YOU WERE HERE FOR ME.

Hey Danny!!
I've been thinkin about you a lot lately. There are times in class when I feel just fine, then I open my planner and my eyes land on your picture from Xmas last yr (the last time I ever saw you) and I feel my body get so weak, I'm surprised I dont fall over, and I want to cry so bad, but I can't, well, b/c I am in school. :) Your mom gave me that picture and I love it so much, it finally feels like I have a part of you with me. I miss you so much.
Taty is so cute when it comes to you, I point to a picture and say, who's that Taty? And she'll look at me and smile and say, "That's my uncle Danny." And with every word she bobs her head. Its so cute. We'll be driving in the car and she'll randomly get so excited b/c she sees a birdy, thinkin you sent it.
We all miss you so much Danny. Your mom especially. I wasn't there that day it all happened, but a part of me wishes I was only b/c I feel like I should be the backbone, I really wish I was there for your mom. I don't know about you, but I was really really happy when I found out dad and donna were getting married. Finally! :) You guys could be my brothers and sisters, we use to joke about being the "brady bunch" and i remember telling your mom that all we would need is a maid and we got it. The night of the wedding was prbly the happiest day of my entire life. You really don't know how much it meant to me that we were finally a family. And then to lose you, it feels like someone took my heart out and is stabbing it and stomping on it and then puttin it back and askin me to go on with life as if nothing happened. I miss you so much.
Well, I guess this is gettin REALLY long so I better stop :)
Luv you so much!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN DANNY,
Remember a couple of years ago when you dressed up as a girl. You shaved your legs, arm pitts and half of your chest. That wasn't the 1st time you dressed up as a girl. Remember when we used to go to Auntie Jayn's, your hair was longer and you put it in a pony tail on top of your head. You always made people laugh. I really miss your great laugh. You always used to like to scare the crap out of people, like jumping out when you would least expect. You always got me on that, not just once but several times. I still keep thinking you're gonna jump out and scare me, I only wish it were ture.
I put a pumkin out by you along with flowers, Chris put a ghost and drew a face on the pumkin. The cemetary cleared every thing off though to get ready for the winter.
Its going to get cold soon. I hope your warm where you are. I only wish I knew how you really are doing Its hard to imagine where you are now. I know they say its a better place and you feel no pain. I wish I knew what was going through your mind on that alwful night, obviously you were thinking of me because you called me to help you. Did you know that you wouldn't be here any more. I can still picture you in my mind, you weren't moving just laying there, still, and Chris trying hard to save you. I'm sure that is something that Chris will never be able to forget. Just watch over him, and kick him in the butt once in a while to keep him on his toes. Watch over your sisters and all the rest of your family. we all miss you very much and love you....I still haven't really had any dreams of you, just let me know that its ok...LOVE MOM

Danny.....
Life is sure strange. One minute you're here and then next day you're gone. Auntie Laura gave me a picture of you from last Christmas. You have such a serious look on your face. I have it at work and when I look at it, its just so weird. Its like you're looking at me. Who would of known it would of been one of the last pictures of you. You look so handsome with your hair all perfect and you are wearing your earring, which I have now and wear all the time. There are so many times when I wish I coulc pick up the phone and just talk to you. I miss that so much Hopefully soon Jessica will have the video from mine and Mikes wedding and I wil be able to hear your voice again. Remember the toast you gave because Mikes brother Jim was a big chicken and didn't want to do it. I'm glad that he backed out and you gave it instead. We had a good time that night. I have all those pictures of you dancing and singing kareokee. I will always cherish the picture of you and I dancing. We must of been deep in conversation because you have a really serious look on your face.
I just think about you all the time and keep wondering why. Nicole, Jen and Chris miss you also. Taty talks about you and to all the time. I have an angle hanging in the car and she thinks it is you so she waves to it all the time. She still thinks you are the one that makes the birds fly by. She thanks you all the time for the birds. She loves you so much. I wonder if she under stands where you are. Can you beleive that its getting cold out side. I bet you don't miss that at all. I remeber how chapped your hands would get during the winter. Right before you passed away Grandma bought some good hand creme for you but she forgot to give it to you after Christmas. I bought you a little pumkin. Its so cute and tiny. I know I'm just rambling but some times every thing is all jumbled up in my mind. I just wish you were here to share every thing with all of this. Well I miss you and love you so very much............. Love, Mom

TO EVERY ONE WHO CAME TO WISH DANNY A HAPPY BIRTHDAY*****
Thank you all so very much for showing up at the cemetary and at Kruegers Friday night. That just made my day a much happier time. You could just feel the love in the air and that every one who was there were exactly every one I knew would show up for Danny. It really touched my heart to see how many ture friends Danny has.
As of now Danny has touched 60 new people with his tissue donations and his love for life is still living in those 60 people. I was real hesitant at first to donate his tissue but now know that was the best decision I made because a little of Danny is still with us today, we just don't know who they are. I do know that he is living in over 24 states and 4 of them in California. He always wanted to live in a warmer state and now he is, just not with all of us. Someday I hope I would be able to hear from these people just to tell them what a wonderful man my son was. Again thank you to every one who helped make Dannys Birthday a special day for myself, Mike, Chris, Nicole/Mark, Tatyana, Danasia, Jennifer, his Grandparents, Aunts, Uncle's and cousins. I love everyone one of you and you all hold a special place in my heart

~~~Danny touched a lot of people over his 25 years of life!! That was very evident by the amount of people that came to say their final Good byes to him. My children, Chris, Nicole and Jennifer and I would like to thank you for all your Love and support during our difficult times. Danny loved life and always liked to have a good time. His Birthday is Saturday September 16 and I would like any one who is interested to join us on Sept 16 at the cemetary, Wisconsin Memorial on 124th and Capitol, at 6:00pm. Any one who would like to say a few words, feel free to do so or it could be a few moments of silence. We will be releasing 26 blue balloons in honor of his 26th Birthday. Later on we will be going to Kruegers to have a few drinks. I know if Danny were here, he would be out having a good time. It would be nice if everyone was together that night, having a good time. Again Thanks for all your love and support over the past 8 months....Love Donna (Mike), Chris, Nicole and Jennifer...LOVE YOU DANNY ****Please pass this info on to others who might not read this guest book. It would be nice to see all of Dannys friends all together***

You must be up there helping me cuz I got that job as a teaching assistant at Reggensberg University in Germany. I start next semester. I get to go to grad school while I work as a TA. I am moving next month, to Germany, I am going to live with my friend Tanja. You remeber me talking about her right? Well, I am going to be living with her. Stefan will be there too. In fact I talked to him and he was very upset to hear what had happened to you. He will be living just a fe wblocks away from Tanja and I. It is nice that I know people who live there. I will miss talking to you on here. I will talk to you everyday in my journal instead. I love you so much. I hope you are proud of me. You are so beautiful, and such a wonderful man. I miss you so so so so so so so very much. Watch over me as I leave for Germany! I can't believe I am going to be living there! It all seems so crazy! I am truly blessed. I know you have something to do with my goodluck so for that thank you so much!

Danny, Summer is almost over; another season and you're not with us. We had the Sadler family reunion on Sunday. We had gorgeous weather and a lot of people showed up. It was great to catch up with everyone. In a way, though, it was very hard. We were missing you and Peggy and Carol. Not having you all there left a big hole in our gathering. It's something we'll have to learn to live with, but I don't think we'll ever get used to. Love ya! Auntie Lynda

Hey Danny,
My aunt Lizzie had a stroke on Sunday Morning. She isnt doing real well. Doctors said that she has no movement on her right side, and her speech may be affected also. Right now they have her in a chemically induced coma. It's really scary. She's just like you..young, only 24.
Well, Mom said she's showing some good signs..I just went to talk to her. She said that they are taking her out of the coma..my aunt Jeanne was talking to Lizzie and rubbing her head, and Kyle (Jeanne's bf) said that as she did her heart rate was getting faster, which is good. Also, she was moving her fingers on her left side. Mom said we are gonna go see her today.
Watch over her for me Danny. A lot of people are praying for her, but you're there, you're in heaven, so as Donna once said, if you see her, send her back. lol.
Thanks for watching over Daddy, too. He's doing better. He's so funny though. He through a crayon at the window to get Nicole's attention, just so she could open the window (which he could have walked to)(he can walk to the kitchen for a candy bar, so...)lol. I thought it was pretty funny, maybe that's just me. haha.
Well, I'll talk to you later.
Love you tonz Danny!

I am living with chris and jenny right now and i guess they are planning on moving now. So i am not really sure where i am going to go. But enough about that. how have you been.

I love you so much. I miss you everyday. I was going through some stuff today because I am still trying to put together a very nice book of photos and memories for your mom and family. I hope to have that done by your birthday, but I have been so busy with work,anyways Like I said i was going through stuff and I found this letter you wrote to me in December a few weeks before you passed. In the letter you said how much you loved me, and how I changed your life. The letter made me cry then and it made me cry again. You just kept sayiing in the letter how special I was to you, and that you knew you wouldn't have made it to where you were without me there to help you. It was so sweet and I just started crying. I can never thank you enough, danny, for caring about me as much as you did, and for trying to be a better man for me. You didn't ever have to try though because you were always wonderful in my eyes. These days are keeping me very busy, I hope you are staying busy as well. I bet you are excited for fantasy football! I found your fantasy football notebook mixed in with some of my school notebooks the other day. It made me smile to see it. I have so many fond memories of you and I. I went to the State Fair and sat in the exact same spot we sat in when we went. It was a weird feeling, and I knew you were there with me. I love you always and forever. Please watch over your family, and friends, and myself as we move towards the fall. Also, help me make the book I am making for your mom the most beautiful book.
I love you Bear with all my heart...

Hi Danny,
How terrible about Mike. I've been talking to your Mom and know she's so worried. Watch over him throughout his recovery. I really wanted to see him race. I even took off for the 28th cause Jesus and I planned on going the 27th. I should have went sooner. Just that we're supposed to ask off way in advance here. I was talking to Mike one night at Kruegers and he was so excited about racing. It's a real passion for him and I know he's gotta be so upset not to be racing anymore. I told your Mom I'd be praying for them. I hope everything works out for the better. Your family doesn't need anymore heartache in their lives.
I was at Maile's funeral on Wednesday and there were obviously a lot of the same friends that were at your funeral. It was a very very sad feeling and it brought me back to January 6th. I just hate how somethings so trajic has to reunite our friends. I just couldn't stop thinking about you and Maile and are you really okay, and what you're doing up there. I stayed up all night Wednesday "daydreaming" about you in your eternal life. I'm just trying to figure out in my head how it is afterwards? So maybe you could come to me in my dreams tonight and help me out with that? :) Maybe let me see a little bit of how it is? :) I know, I'm silly right now, but I can't stop thinking about everything lately.
Anyways, enough of my babbling. I miss you Danny.
Take Care.

Danny....
Well Mike is done racing and won't be able to race any more. Because of his roll over 7/31, we found out he has a big tumor on his left kidney and he is having surgery today (8/16) to remove the kidney. He is really scared, but he hasn't really said that he was to me. I know he is. I know you must of been with him during that roll over and maybe even had something to do with it. It's a good thing the roll over happened because we would of never found out that he had the tumor. He sold the race car, trailer and truck. He was really sad to have to sell everything. He was doing so good too. At Slinger last Sunday they announced that he wasn't going to able to race any more and that he was having surgery. They also said that the reason he was racing was because of his step son Daniel, this is the second time they mentioned you at the races. Danny, please watch over Mike today during his surgery. I don't know what I would do if I lost Mike too. I love you very much and miss you terribly. Love, your Mom...........

Hey Danny,
You won't believe it. I got my temps today!! I only got 2 wrong on the written test! I am so excited. I was so nervous taking the test. I asked you for help. And,well, obviously, you answered. Thanks. It seems so wierd that I can drive. It feels like I am still 13 years old. Still young, still, I don't know, just not highschool. Well, I thought I should tell you that I am now a danger on the road. lol. So anyone who may read this, beware. lol.
I'll keep updated with you.
Love you 4vr!

Hey Bear!
The first movie we saw together was on again last night! It is so hard for me to watch it still. I hope your doing well. I am okay, busy, but okay. I am collecting pictures of you in my spare time to give to your mom. I should have them ready to send soon. She said she likes the one of you in the whirlpool with all the bubbles! I like that one also. We had so much fun that night! Remember how we wanted to watch a funny movie so we thought we would order Duce Bigalo European Gigalo, and we thought it sucked! You and I didn't think it was so funny. You said it was just dumb. I miss your laughter more and more every second, and I miss your smile and hugs. I keep a pictures of you all around. It seems to help somehow. I guess I feel like you are still there. I will be starting Graduate School shortly. In about Five years, if I work hard and stay focused, I should have my Phd and be able to start teaching. I will be a doctor! hhehe! Well not a medical doctor but I will have my doctorite in history. A doctor of history! hehe how silly! I love you Bear! I miss you so much!
Love always,

Hey Danny,
So obviously you heard about dad's crash. It was scary. He was doing really really good. He was gonna win for sure. Stupid cars. lol.
I started Drivers Ed. last week. Isn't that scary?! I get my temps next week! Even scarier. The class is so boring but as long as I get my temps I don't care. I already started counting down. I have 5 more classes then I am done. lol.
Remember Pedi? The bird I took to my mom's house. Well, he was out of his cage and he was flying around, and he hit something and broke his neck. I think it paralyzed one side of his body. I watched him for about 5-7 hours. I held him and he died in my hands. I wonder if there is a "Pet Heaven" or if it's just one big place. That sounds wierd. lol. Well, if you see him around. Tell him I said hi. Take care of him. He was a great bird. You two are identical...because you were a great brother for all those years.
Love you 4vr

Well Danny, We took one heck of a ride last night. You knew I always felt you in the car with me, thanks for keeping me safe. Rolling over like that could have been alot worse than what it was. The car is not good, a lot of heavy damage, but I"m going to try and put it back together after my ribs heal. We were up to 17 in points out of 47 cars, not bad heh. Danny like I said I feel you in the car each week with me. I still think of you each day and miss your laugh I can see outside the car right now saying "Wow Mike, this thing is messed up", but you would be the first one to say, come on we can fix it, so I will give it my best shot and I will need your help from above on this one. Love you kid, Mike....

Hey sweetie...I was outside for most of the day yesterday, and the whole time all I could think about was you. I know how much you loved the summer time. We had fun going to all the festivals and stuff! I remember when we went to State Fair with Stefan(from Germany) and we got into a huge cream puff fight! It was so much fun and we were all sticky! :) This last year when we went you had three corn on tne cobbs! We also watched the horse pull show and you thought that was pretty cool! I miss you so very very much and I cry almost everyday. I love you.

I haven't written anything in a while. I think about you all the time and at the weirdest times. I'll just be driving and all of a sudden I start to cry. Just looking at your pictures, which I have all over. I see you when I close my eyes at night and get up in the morning. I just don't understand why God took you from us so early in your life. I know people say it was your time but why? It makes me sad that your're not here any more to share life with everyone. Its getting harder every day that you're not here. I always thought that God was testing me years ago when you and your brother got in trouble. I made it through that and I thought every thing would be good from now on. Mike and I got married and I was so happy that all my kids were there to share my speical day and now you're not here to share all the happy times. I has so so very proud of you and that you actually were starting to grow up and be a responsible man. Life was good for you and things were starting to come together and then that awful night, it was all over, just like that.
Mike is really doing good in racing and I know you are there cheering him on. He wasn't too sure at first how it would go, but he is enjoying it. I think it's because you and him were going to do it together and every thing just came together.
Tatyana is getting so big and she talks about you and sometimes to you, which freaks Nicoles out. She seems to know that you aren't here and looks up and blows kisses to you. She says Hi to you always. Danasia looks so much like Taty when she was born. I only wish you were here when she was born.
The other day a Jonny Cash song can on and I thought of you and cried. Remember how you used to sing,very loudly, to Burning Ring of Fire. Or how about when you used to grab your leg and bend it up and say "Look what I can do" I think that was something from Saturday Night live. Or how about when you dressed up as a girl and wore a blond wig and you shaved your chest, pits and legs. You borrowed my black neckless and earring. You never gave them bakc to me either which made me mad. I did find the necklace when we cleaned out your apartment but never found the earrings, but thats ok, I still have all the memories. Oh yeah, I finally got my tattoo. It's not the original one I wanted to get. Its in memory of you. I was so scared but it actually didn't really hurt. At times it tickeled and right before I asked you to not make it hurt, so thank you for that.......
YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY HEART....I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH....MOM

Hey Danny,
We had our soccer tournament today. Ok, so this whole season we didnt lose a game..unfortunally..none of the coaches turned in the score cards, so we did the "winner bracket" "Loser bracket" system. Well, we lost two games in the tournament and took last place. How crazy is that!? It sucks. I was really hoping to win this year. That's alright I guess.
I start Drivers Ed. next monday. Isn't that a scary thought?! I was thinking of sending out a flyer warning people to seek shelter immediatly. lol.
You know..the night I found out you died, like not even two minutes before my dad called I was just talking about how much I wanted you, Chris, Jen, and Nicole at my graduation. I told my mom that I wanted awesome invitations. Then dad called. The End. It hurt a lot. I went and wrote a poem. I think I'm ready to share it. It's not that good, but I figure who cares. I wrote it for you..not for anyone else. So, here it is.
Danny Boy
Once again my heart shall die,
and we all know why.
My brother left to fly up high,
he went to soar up to the sky.
He was young for his age,
but now he shall rise up to the
heavenly cage.
25 yrs is all he was,
and we miss him dearly because.
He was sweet and kind,
the best guy you could ever
find.
He was everything a big brother
would be,
fun and loving was he.
It isn't fair for him to be gone,
He wasn't here for long.
If I could turn back time,
I'd warn him, save him, and he'd
always be mine.
So Danny, fly high above,
We are saying goodbye out of
love.
So yeah..that was my poem. I hope you liked it. There are several others, but I think you would like this one best.
I love you. Talk to you later.

Hey Bear!
Well, I am all moved into my new place out in Muskego. I miss you more and more each day. In fact I was unpacking yesterday still, and I paused and just burst into tears. It feels so strange not having you here. Each day it gets a little more difficult to deal with the fact that I can't hear you or see you anymore. You are truly my best friend, and you always will be. Remember Bri? Well, I ran into her the other day. It was good to see her. She looks the same and shes doing really well. Work is going well for me it's just such a change from school, you know? I feel so overwhelmed with it sometimes. I love you Danny and I miss you more than words could ever express.

Hey Danny,
daddy said that we arent gonna move anymore because the other people who were loud moved...YEAH!
we went to see your headstone yesterday, i like it, it looks good. Your mom did good picking the perfect one for you.
Daddy raced last night. He was in first place with about a twelve car lead when a car crashed and there was a yellow flag. Daddy lost the lead, but he held onto second until the very end. Second is good. We came home at about midnight and Chris scared us because he was lighting off fireworks and we didnt see him, Molly was like "are we getting shot at?" it was funny. So we went up to Chris's and watched him set them off. Jen shared a secret with us and it is so so so so cool. I'm not gonna write it here because i dont know if Chris and Jen want the world to know yet.
The Savannah trip was amazing. I had so much fun, there are so many details. We went to a Morrocan place where they had a bellydancer who taught us how to bellydance. We were not allowed to use silverware, it was against tradition, so we had to eat with our fingers, it was cool. they had Henna tattoos also, i got DBJ on my ankle. it looks really cool. I saw like 15 dolphins between the dolphin cruise and sea cyaking (most likely the wrong spelling). It was great.
Well it was nice talking to you again. Love you forever!

Hey Danny,
Guess wat? Tomarrow at 4:15 am i am leaving for Savannah, Georgia! i am so excited. i am almost done packing. it should be a lot of fun. Well, we found out wat was wrong with my mom, she had heart failure. she's doing ok now. daddy said we are probably moving again! I really dont wanna. Chris is so close and we are finally doing stuff together, it actually feels like he is my brother not just my "dad's-girlfriend's-kid." like i used to always "label" you guys as. Im worried that if we move i wont c him as much as i want to. i hope that if we move, chris and i can still hang out, because it's a lot of fun when we are together. it really is. well, i no you'll make everything better, you always do. I'll let you know how the trip goes. Love you bunches!

Hey Danny,
so much is happening this month. Wow. It's so unfortunate that we can't share these times with us, but I know your still here. Well, my mom had her baby yesterday 6/13 at 1:11 pm. She's so pretty. Mom named her Kayli Rose. She was 7# .7 ounces and 19 inches long. She's is so adorable. We are going to the zoo this weekend. Dad said we are taking Taty. That should be interesting. She's is probably going to do one of two things...scream and chase the animals (going crazy of course)...or cling to whoever is closest and be scared. It should be fun. Nicole had her baby too. I saw her picture. She looks just like Taty. Well, I haven't written in a while so I figured with school out and all, now I will definatly have time to write in here. I heard your headstone was put in. Hopefully I can go see it this weekend...I'll be by Dad's this weekend. Well, it was nice writing on here again. I'll talk to you soon. Love you Danny!
MOM
June 13, 2006
Danny,
Well Nicole had her baby. Her name is Danasia Rose. She was born 6/10 at 4:14pm She was 6lbs 5oz and 19 1/2 inches. She looks just like Tatyana did when she was born. You know Taty talks to you sometimes and it freaks Nicole out. She said she was in bed laying down and Taty looked up and said "Hi Uncle Danny, and said come here Uncle. Nicole told her to stop talking and go back to sleep. She said that she was done that several times. If you ask Taty where is Uncle Danny, she says he's gone. Thats pretty weird.
I just heard today that Cathy and Josh had their baby today, Gavin Daniel and he was born at 4:14am. Thats weird that both of them were born at 4:14, just one was am and the other was pm.
I hope you like the head stone that I pick out, I thought it was beautiful and perfect with the Angle on it since you are one of my Angles and you are beautiful. Well Mike had someone fix the wiring harness to get the Slinger car running again. Hopefully he won't cut any more wires, I think he learned his lesson. He ran it on Sunday and actually was doing good in 4th place but someone hit him and he went down low and then blew a tire and couldn't finsish the race. The car had a little damage on the right side. Hopefully he can fix it some what to be able to run next week. That little car is really cool and fast and Mike is having fun with it. I know you would have had fun with it as well getting it ready. I really miss you and Love You very much

Hey baby! I broke down really bad last night! I have good days ad bad days, and some in between, but last night was a really bad night! I cried for hours. I still can't believe all of this is hapening!
I went to the zoo a few weeks ago and I cried going there too. You liked going to the zoo with me. We had a lot of fun together there.
My friends went to Great America and they wanted me to go but it's still so hard for me. I have so many memories from there and I still can't bring myself to go. I know your probably looking at me saying "tough it out" you always used to say that to me.
Well, I just wanted to say hello! I miss you and I love you so very very very very much!

I haven't written in here for awhile. But I still love reading all the entries. Especially the ones about Mike racing the car. Knowing that you're still with your family is a comforting feeling.
Well, it's summer Danny! You sure do love summer don't you? I know it's going to be hard for everyone close to you not to see you out and about. Because you're so active! You're always doing something.
Well, I just wanted to say Hi. I know it's as beautiful up there as it is down here!

Danny,
It's really been hard for me lately. I miss you so very much. I'll just be driving and all of a sudden I'm crying cause I'm thinking of you. Just driving down Main Street is hard. Too many memories of you. I look at your pictures all the time and still can't beleive you're gone from our lives forever. There are just so many things that I'm trying to remember from your past from you growing up. Your birthday is going to be really hard, just like every Holiday is going to be. Christmas will be especially hard for me. You know how much I love Christmas, the decorating, making cookies and just Christmas in general. Especially lights. You guys always thought I was nuts with Christmas lights. I had to have everything lit up. I don't know how I'm gonna make it through Christmas this year, especially since you left us a week later. I told you guys last Christmas just wasn't right. It was the 1st Christmas that I wasn't living with all you guys and that next year you guys would come over by me to celebrate. Well I just don't know how I'm going to be able to handle another year that just isn't right.
Mike is really struggling with that Slinger Bee car that he put together. If you were here I know everything would be up and running. Just guide him a little. I'm sure your laughing a little, just thinking what a dummy. He is really sick about it not running. I'm really proud of how it put it all together and how he ran the 1st night. He did really good. I can hear you saying, "hey Mike let me run it and show you how it done" hopefully soon it will be running again. Just talk to him and guide him the right way. I Love you so very much..XXXXXOOOO Love Mom

hey hunny just wanted to say happy anniversary of the day we met! It was on the 24th, but it was a Thursday remember? You were at Have a Nice Day Cafe with Ben, and I was there for wendy's bachlorette party. Anyways, You said you saw me from across the room, you came over and asked for my number I wrote it on your hand and we danced. Then about ten minutes after we left you called me. You said you called right away because you wante dto make sure I gave you the right phone number. It was instant chemistry between us, and I miss you terribly. I just wanted to remember that night. Your face, dancing with you to the last song. You were gorgeous. I love you Danny Bear!

hey danny,
today daddy emailed me to tell me that his car is legal. the engine and everying. he's going to race again next weekend. sunday. you should be there. hopefully a lot of people will show up to watch him race. Jen (chris's gf) said that she wanted to pick me up sunday so that i could go to. i told her it was my moms weekend and she said so what, she'd still come get me. i like her a lot. her kids are great too. did you ever meet jen? idk if they were going out when you were still with us or not. well if you didnt you missed out on a great girl who makes chris happy. today is the one year anniversary for my friend Jerrad who died from getting hit by a car. he was 14yrs old. a lot of people are sad. it's hard to believe that time goes by so quickly but then it also feels like it's been forever! just like time has flown since you left...and yet, it feels like it's been a lifetime. we all miss you so much. love you.

Hey ya gorgeous!
Well, graduation is over and it feels really weird. I have been working so hard for so long to get my BA and now that its over I don't quite know what to do with myself. I know you were there on Staurday. I have a picture of me walking in to the auditorium, and I am glwoing and there is a face outlined to my left, and I swear to god it looked just like you! My mom says it was just a glare or something from somewhere, but I believe it was you! I showed it to Ashley, Danielle, and K-Dogg and they all got freaked out cuz they saw your face also. I didn't even tell them before I showed them the picture I just said the picture was werid. It was nice to have that picture. I knew you were there, but to see it made me feel better. I love you so much.
I start Grad school in the fall. Juts like you always wanted me to do. I am going to get my MBA, then I am going to get my MA in Public History, then my P.H.D. in European Capital Punishment. It sounds like a lot but its not, It will only take me six years to get all three degrees.
I miss you especially since the sun is out so much more now. I know how much you loved the summer and hated the winter. We were so much alike that way.
I love you Bear, xoxo

Hey Danny,
Daddy raced ur car. i admit he was good. he got 7th place, but he could have done better. He would have been disqualified if he won b/c he had too big of an engine. he has a fast car. a few people came and it was nice hanging out with Chris and Jen. Donna made me a guardian angel braclet, i like it a lot. she's really good at beading.hopefully i can go to ur grave soon, i wanna go again..it's nice...that sounds kinda wierd doesnt it. it doesnt feel real. it feels like your still here, but, just like, I havent seen you in a while. maybe i'm just in denial. watever it is, i still love you. love tabby.

Well Bear today is the day....GRADUATION DAY! I am nervous and excited!
Last night they had a special dinner for all the grduates and we had to walk down this hallway in the school that was all dark and lit with candles to get to the dinner. In the hallway there were people playing these drums and all of our professors were lined up in the hallways cheering for us, and they gave us hugs and threw confetti at us, it was really awesome, and incredibly moving. Then I got a card and a picture from the history department. I love you bear. I am taking your red t-shirt with me to graduation today. Its the one that still sorta smells like you. I sleep with it :) I miss you more than words could ever exlain. I know you will be there with me today as I walk across that stage!
I LOVE YOU!
