My 62 birthday came up today, and I remembered Daniel. I know he's been with the Lord for some time now and the cares of this world aren't even a concern to him. God bless you Lord Jesus and thank you for your mercy and love when we leave here, we have a home with you, true freedom and for eternity. Amen.

It's coming up on 11yrs since Daniel Manuel Cadenas passing, there isn't a day that goes by my sister and I don't think of Daniel. Sending prayers and love to his whole family, his Mother, Father, and Siblings. You are always in our hearts. Both of us moved away from Hollister after this. We could not stay there knowing such a beautiful person was taken for senseless reasons. My sister moved to Capitola, CA. I moved to Georgia. We never forget the love his family will eternally have for him. He's with Jesus now and the cares of this world he's not even worried about. He's having a great time with those who left before him, and being well loved and cared for waiting for his family, and we'll see each other again with the Lord. Amen love and thoughts from our hearts. - Karrie and Darla.

A very special thank you to all family and friends whom came together to pay tribute to my beloved son Daniel on the 5th anniversary of his passing, today I reminiscent the events of that heartbreaking horrible day that my son was taken from us, these past 5 years have not been easy for the family and myself, we miss him, hurt for him and cry for him and he is always in our prayers, I sometimes wonder how have we survived this nightmare and unbearable sadness of loosing daniel? but now that I am able to think with much more clarity I realize that it's the love,kindness and emotional support that you all have given to my family that has made it possible for us to get to where we are today, still here, still together and getting stronger as time goes by, I believe that your prayers and well wishes have made this possible for us all to remain strong and positive and continue on with our lives and I know that's what OUR danny would want for us, thank you everyone that have been with us and still continue to be with us as another year goes by...Mary Danny's mom❤

Hello to all you wonderful people that knew my son Daniel from the Prospect Apts I thank you from the bottom of my heart for those who were so touched by him and the two wonderful sisters that have posted a short story on his memory book and your promise to light a candle for him on his anniversary of his passing and your birthday, such a beautiful kind gesture from you and I to will be remembering your birthday and happy that someone has lit a candle especially for my Daniel. The pain and sadness never goes away but we make ourselves strong and find and give comfort to the others that are also hurting for him, I always love being with his 3 precious kids and they always ask to be taken to his resting place and they trim the lawn and polish his headstone and place flowers/knicknacks etc. Thank you and may our Lord Jesus bless you all. Daniel's mom Mary
