-REMEMBERING DANIEL-
As the family prepares to put Daniel to rest,, we bury only his body. His spirit, his soul, his amazing ability to give, will remain with us.. He will live on in the stories people are sharing of how he touched their lives. He will live on in the love, that is visible in the eyes of his wife, daughter, family and friends. Things will never be the same ... but the world is a better place for the years Daniel lived..
