We've OFFICIALLY made it through the first year, Dan! While it has been a trying one, it has also put SO many things into perspective. You have and continue to guide me through EVERY step of this journey. When I feel alone, you have gone out of your way to assure me that I am not and I am blessed to have that. I miss you just as much today as I did this time last year. The only difference is that I am more peaceful knowing that you are happy and content and in a place where ALL of us strive to be someday. I still and ALWAYS will admire you, look up to you, and turn to you whenever I need you. You have proven time and time again that you are there for me. I love you, Danny, and thank you infinitely for helping me find the strength and courage to face each day without you physically in it. Your spirit is with me wherever I go and knowing and seeing that has pushed me along this long, winding road of life. I have learned so much about myself and have gained the confidence that you have always wanted me to have. Thank you! I will continue to make you proud and know that you will continue to be right by my side EVERY step of the way!

I love you-

Jackie

Hi Dan :) Wow-a year today...I really can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday. So much has changed, as I have said in my other notes to you. I'm so proud of Jackie, she's really made a wonderful life for herself and Julia. I know you're proud also! I wish I could have made it up to NC to spend time with everyone, but as you know, school and work is keeping my days, and weekends completely full! I thank you for giving all of us the strength to carry on every day. You are missed so terribly much by everyone who loved you. We all have to remember that we will meet again, one sweet day. Keep looking over everyone, and make sure to keep sending your signs! We love 'em!! :)

Love, Heather

I promise as each year goes by I will do my best to make you proud of me and to carry on your legacy as you so much deserve. You are my heart and soul and I love you with every ounce of my being.

Danny,

I usually don't write two days in a row but I am now! With yesterday being 11 months since your passing, I was anxiously waiting for Josh to get here. Once again, you pulled through! Josh asked me to marry him! It truly was like in the movies! I know that you were by the both of us to make sure that our knees didn't give out! It's extremely exciting and overwhelming at the same time! I love you and thank you for continuing to fill our lives with miracles everyday!

So many things have changed in this year, so many blessings have been given to us, especially to Jackie and Julia!! I know with all my heart that you have been there, always, helping us along the way. I've felt, and seen your presence(the hearts are such a nice touch!) I look forward to my e-mails from your Mom, it takes my breath away everytime you send one their way...we really know that you're still with us, watching over us and helping us through our days.

Thank you Dan, for still being you! I love ya!! :)

It's hard to believe that it has been 11 months today since you passed! So much has happened and our lives are changing so much everyday! Josh is flying in today to stay with Julia and I for a couple of days. We are SO excited about our move next month and are so excited about what the future may bring!

Hey baby brother, It has been almost 1 year since you have been gone. There is not a day that goes by that I don't see that HEART WARMING smile. I have the most beautiful collection of photographhs hanging in my entry way for all to see. I am so proud of you and I know that you will always be my angel.I love you and miss you so much!!! You have given so much to so many people, that will never be forgotten. You are truly an angel, and you will protect us all forever!I LOVE YOU!

Dear Dan,



It has been 11 years since I have seen you - and you will always remain in my heart & memory. I remember the first time we sat together in class in 6th grade. I remember thinking how tall you were, and what a trouble maker you must be with the choice of music you chose to listen too! And then, you would always make fun of me and say mean things when all the while you had a crush on me! Ha! Do you remember all the Reebok watches?

Boy did I treasure you.

I have thought of you all these years and I come to learn that you are gone.....What a blow to the heart - I have learned of you & Shane all in the same day. It brings me comfort to know you are not alone.

When I threw you a going away party I was unaware that it would be "forever" - I always hoped our paths would cross at least one last time...I have not forgotten about that teenage boy with the Tom Cruise smile - I will hold on to our pictures & memories FOREVER.



I am married to a pilot in the United States Marine Corps , his name is Dan too with the middle initial "J"! Isn't that funny?

My deepest sympathy is to your family..Take care of Shane while you are up there too - Im sure you were there to greet him at the gates...

In my dreams I hope to find you....





In my thoughts and prayers forever,

XOXOXOXOXOX

Denise

Hey Dan!It's been 10 months today. WOW! That's TWO whole hands! It seems like ages ago when you were called home. So much has changed for Julia and I in the last 10 months! We are BOTH doing VERY well in school and are very excited about moving in June. Every burden that I have had along this journey in the last 10 months has made me a little bit stronger and I know that YOU have made it a point to make my load a little bit lighter. I miss you and love you just as much today as I always have and always will!



My love always and forever,

Hey, Dan! Today is April 17th. Mom, Julia, and I are participating in a fundraiser to benefit "Kindermourn", a local support group for those who have lost children. Six little yellow ducks were purchased by our neighbor in your honor that will join in the "Hope Floats Duck Race". We are so honored and proud to have the opportunity to be a part of something spectacular in your memory! We love you and miss you more than you know! Liana has set the example to carry on your legacy in Florida and we are making it a point to do the same here in North Carolina! See you at the finish line!

March 24, 2005

Dan,

You are the other half of my soul and I feel incredibly incomplete without you here. I miss you desperatley and find myself overwhelmed with hopes that you will come back to us. This journey has been very hard and I worry every day that I will not make it. I do have faith, though, that you are walking beside me and will pick me up each time that I fall. You are my one and only and you will never be replaced. I continue to be blessed every day by those you left behind and I thank you for leaving them with me. You knew so well how much I would need them. You always took care of me and continue to do so in the special way only you and I know. I dream of the day that I will be in your arms again and I promise you this- I will never let you go. I miss you and it makes me sad but I am so happy knowing you are happy in your rest. I love you and will for eternity.



Love- me

Danny Boy,

As I look back at the months since you left us I feel a loss that is never to be explained. Our bond was just that which no one can ever imagine. You came to me and welcomed me as a part of your life. Your smiles and the happiness that you brought will remain in my mind forever. Lovingly in spirit.

Dan,

I was looking at my calendar today and realized that it's been 7 months since you left us. WOW! I feel you with me more often now and am blessed to be able to experience that. Life is hectic, as you know, but not a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you so much it hurts! I know you're having a blast up there watching over all of us! I love you, Danny!

Love,

You are extremely missed by everyone who truely knew you. This is my 1st time writing in this book, but you are in my thoughts everyday. Wesley misses you so much and as our wedding day is getting closer, I know there will be a void. I'm positive you will be there in spirit. Please look over Wesley each day of his life, for he is the love of my life just like Liana was yours. You (Dan) were such a great person and friend to Wesley and so polite to me. We will never forget you and we will all meet again one day.

I came across these lyrics today and they remind me so much of you! I know how much you LOVE music so I'm making it a point to share this with EVERYONE!



"SUPERMAN (It's Not Easy)"

by: Five For Fighting



I can't stand to fly-I'm not that naive

I'm just out to find the better part of me!

I'm MORE than a bird, I'm MORE than a plane-

I'm MORE than some pretty face beside a train

It's not easy to be me.

Wish that I could cry-fall upon my knees

Find a way to lie about a home I'll never see.

It may sound absurd but don't be naive!

Even HEROES have the right to bleed.

I may be disturbed but won't you concede?

Even HEROES have the right to dream!

It's not easy to be me.

Up, up, and away...away from me.

It's alright-you can all sleep sound tonight.

I'm not crazy or anything...

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet-

Digging for kryptonite on this one way street!

Only a man in a furry red sheet-

Looking for special things inside of me!

It's not easy to be me-



We Love You, Dan! You'll ALWAYS be my hero!~Jackie

~IN LOVING MEMORY OF DANNY, MY LITTLEST ANGEL~

*October 31, 1978-June15, 2004*



There have been angels in our lives. While they haven't arrived with a blast of trumpets or a rustle of wings, we've known them just the same. They perform their acts in human disguise, sometimes borrowing the faces of family and friends, sometimes posing as well-meaning strangers.



You have known them, too, when just the right word was needed, when a tiny act of kindness made a great difference, or perhaps you heard a voice whispering in a night of sorrow-the words not quite clear but the meaning unmistakeable.



"There is hope, there is hope..."



When in doubt, know that your most trusted angel is, forever, everywhere-putting his trust in all of you! And, very, often, only mothers know best!



~I Love You! You are the absolute greatest!!!~

Dan, I will always remember the day I met you!!! School was never the same. Your heart was bigger than you!! I shared a few classes and many laughes with you throughout our school years. My heart is breaking at the horrible news that was passed to me this week. My prayers and condolences go out to Dan's family and close friends. To Jackie and Liana, please know that if you ever need to talk or just a shoulder, I am here!!! God Bless you all!!!

Hi Dan! Just wantd you to know that your big sis was back in Florida with Dana. We came to visit you and let you know that we are still there, everyday with you. Daddy and Sandy got you some new flowers.. Superman colors, just like you like!!! Love you Leanne and Dana xoxoxoxoxxxoxo

Julia Wright

August 24, 2004

Dan, Sandy, Jackie, Julia and to all of Dan’s family I send my deepest sympathy. My husband and I were only notified last night of your, our, loss. An enormous piece of my heart broke when I heard. Dan was truly a “big-little brother” to me. I have always cherished our friendship. We could go months without speaking but would spend hours catching up laughing and gossiping about all of our escapades. I was so happy to tell Dan about the birth of my son and am sad that I cannot tell him about the baby girl that I’m going to have. Dan was my confidant and I was so proud to work with him at GNC. I have never met such a beautiful or charismatic soul. I know that he is watching over his family and friends and catching up with other lost friends. I wish so much that I could have laughed with him one more time. Dan, please know that Chris and I will cherish every moment that we had with you and are so proud to have called you our friend. I love you big guy.

Chris & Julia Wright

August 24, 2004

My wife and I (Chris & Julia Wright) opened the Citrus Park GNC with Dan a few years back. Yesterday we visited the old store and were told the news. I don't think we believed it because we spent the rest of the night calling everyone we knew and searching the internet. I finally called his number and heard his voice on the answering machine and knew that it wasn't true, only to receive a phone call from a mutual friend 10 minutes later to confirm that we lost Dan. My wife is a mess as he was her "little brother" at GNC, and I don't think I have ever met a funnier guy in my life. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. The world is now a different place. We love you Dan!

Alison Schoppe

You are so missed, Dan! Since you're passing, I've looked to God for strength to get through my weakest moments. I find comfort knowing you're in His presence watching over all of us. Until we meet, again. . .know I love you.

I can't believe it's been almost 2 months since you've left us Dan. We miss you so much!

I had a dream about you a couple of weeks ago, and I feel like everyone should hear it, it helped me a lot.

I'll try to keep it short, but it was a long dream!

I was at a house and a "spirit" came up to me. He said that there was a soul in the house that needed to talk to me. I told the man that I was afraid of what I was going to see.

He said that I had to accept the spirit however he appeared or I wouldn't be able to talk to him. The man said that if he's not at rest, then I would see him the way he would look right now. He said if he was at peace, then he would appear before me like I always remembered. I went into the house, went up the stairs to a bar area, when I turned around, Dan was standing there, a perfect as can be. He was smiling, and we laughed, then gave each other a big hug and cried.

He wanted me to let everyone know that he missed us, but he was okay. He was fine. He was wearing a crisp blue Tommy dress shirt, it didn't have a smudge on it...it was perfect, like we all remember Dan as, perfect. I always remember my dreams, but I have NEVER had one this vivid. I believe that Dan was with me in my dream that night, and he's okay.

I love you all. Take care and never let your memories fade.

Dan was my first love and the only person I will ever love that much. I felt lucky to wake up everyday and have him in my life. He had a way of making you feel like you were the only person in the world and I miss that more and more as each day passes. I miss his beautiful smile and contagious laugh. He used to make me laugh so hard to the point that I couldn't breathe. In my eyes Dan was the most romantic and sentimental man I have ever known. Every week he would put a fresh flower on my night stand and said it was so I could wake up to something beautiful every morning. This is who Dan was and still is. He will be remembered by me as an angel that I was fortunate to be touched by and the man that changed my life forever. To his family- I love each and every one of you with all of my heart and think about you everyday. Thank you for creating such a wonderful person.

It's been two months today since your accident. I thought,with time, life without you would get a little bit easier. I am finding, because you and I were so close, it's getting harder. It physically hurts to not have you here with us, Dan! Julia starts kindergarten this week, which I'm sure you already know, because you have always been the one to keep your eye on her! I love you and miss you so much and life is forever different because you're not here. I just want you to know that I miss you more than I ever imagined I would and I love you as much today as I alway have!-Jackie

We all miss you terribly, but you will never be forgotten. Your memories lie in our hearts forever. May God continue to bless you, and know that I love you. -(your cousin)Mare

Each and every day that goes by, I feel your loss more greatly. I know that you are watching over Mom, Dad, Sandy, Jackie and Julia and that it is said that all their pain is part of their healing. Until we meet again, know that those of us here are missing you and loving yours. The next time we meet it will be for eternity and while that is a nearly incomprehensible thought, it does give me hope. I guess that's what faith is; it is believing with all your heart in something that cannot be either seen or touched. I love you, Dan. Stay well and happy!

The world has lost a wonderful person, but heaven has gained one great soul.

"Constant as the stars above, always know that you are loved....."From the heart of my 3 year old daughter to her uncle... Jackie and Dana, my sisters, I love you and those words will never have the same meaning. My brother Daniel is so very missed but is still with us all in our fond memories, and our hearts. He tucks Caitie and Julia into bed every night, and he wakes with them every day to watch over them.This gives me great comfort. I love him and I miss him: My brother Daniel.

Dan,

I came across a beautiful excerpt today and I think I speak for everyone as I type this:



~THE BROKEN CHAIN~



We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name.



In life, we loved you dearly, in death, we'll do the same.



It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone.



For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.



You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide.



And though we cannot see you, you are always by our side.



Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same.



But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.



~UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, DAN! WE ALL MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU VERY MUCH AND AWAIT THE DAY THAT WE CAN ALL BE TOGETHER AS ONE, BIG, HAPPY FAMILY!-I LOVE YOU!~Jackie
