You're sitting up there watching me write this, and it's still not easy to get everything out knowing you're over my shoulder right now. I should be able to write free but knowing you can't write back doesn't feel free at all. I wanted to be hard as nails, never fear and show no weakness. How you got me into an old theater watching The Notebook is ridiculous to say the least. Yet one Deadpool movie on the couch and a Ready Player One lecture about how the book is better, there we were. A person, an Animal, even a plant will eventually succumb...and we humans still believe we can somehow, someway live forever in a history book or a legend. No Danielle, we only have short lives, we all do Beautiful. What inevitably remains is that part of persons soul that inexplicably stitched its parts onto others, and just will not be removed from the heart. The best of you is here..

Danielle was always the sweetest nurse and such a joy to work with. I am so sad to hear of her passing. She always had a beautiful smile and heart!
