It was so recently that I had the chance to meet Daniel, and I am so thankful I did. He proved himself to be a courageous fighter in his time with us, and will be missed by all. He's smiling down on all of you, the family he loves, who were there for him at every moment. Find comfort in your heart, knowing he's happy, and playing with the other children.

"The tide recedes, but leaves behind bright seashells on the sand. The sun goes down, but gentle warmth still lingers on the land. The music stops, yet echoes on in sweet, refrains. For every joy that passes, something beautiful remains."

Much love to Tim, Elizabeth and Mac; as well as Uncle Tim, Aunt Barb, John, Chris, and Elizabeth's family. Our hearts are with you all.

Kelley, Lauren, Kaitlyn and families.

Matthew Burch

February 27, 2012

The fairest lilies are the first to fall;
The sweetest the first to fade;
The fondest, dearest, best of all;
At peaceful rest is laid.
As some sweet blossom droops and dies;
When blighted by the frost;
He faded from before our eyes;
And all too soon was lost.
But in God's garden free from pain;
Where grow His fairest flowers;
We know that we shall meet again;
This fairest bloom of ours.

Gina Murphy
