Yellowpine Dr.,Ft Caroline Jr High and TerryParker seem like a lifetime ago. You were my 1st friend I made moving from Panama here to Jacksonville. There was a time we were best friends. We had a lot of fun and got in a lot of trouble. It was worth it. You had the world by the tail. See you in Heaven! 1050, 30 Jun 10

"You've got a room with a view
A window to the world
You always had your sights set high
And now that you're gone
Your memory lives on
And I see you smiling in my mind
With angels as visitors dropping by
Your room with a view"

A year ago today was the last day we were able to trully share before you declined... we walked we talked we laughed we loved...and as usual your timeing in things is impeccable. You know what I mean. I miss you so much and cherish the memories. On that evening a year ago... you stated you were ready ... I was so proud of you. You felt close to God and were happy to be there where you were when your time came. You expressed your love and devotion to me in ways people only dream of. You expressed your wishes for me and my future. These are the things that keep me going hearing those words will stay with me forever until we meet again. I miss you and love you with every breath I take. Annie your eternal wife

Wow ...time is really flying for me...each day I relive a memory of last year at that moment where we were then. A year ago today you had spent your first night at the Mcgraw Hospice. I remember waking alone in our bed...and not being able to see you as we woke to face our day. I was still holding out hope that it was all just a terrible nightmare and you would be okay...As I do now praying to wake up next to you and see your smile. We spent a beautiful day there where you were talking and laughing as usual. I didnt want to leave without you. I miss you darling everyday every moment with every breath I take. But I know in my heart you watch over me from where you are. Remembering you today and always..."Ich libe diche" baby

Not having ever met Danny Powell personally, I have heard many a great things about him from his wife, Ana and my wonderful nephew, Travis. Danny was a very important person in the lives of many, and is greatly missed by those who knew and loved him most. Now, he is with our Father in heaven, shining down brightly on those he loved. Danny will always be a special part of his family and friends. Shine on, Danny... a free spirit in the heavenly winds.

All my life, i never thought i would ever have a dad like you. You inspired me to be better than i was and made me realize that i was meant for something more. this world still feels empty without you, Dad. We have and always will love you and miss you dearly.

I never meant Danny personally, but having him as a friend on myspace for a year and half, I felt like knowing him and felt like he was that older brother I never had and always wanted. You always be missed and your always be in our hearts. We love you Danny!!!

I had known Danny most of my life and we been though a lot in our life times but, never quit talking with each other over the years. I'm so glad he meant up with Annie because, he was truly happy. Danny always smile and a friend to everyone. I know in my heart that he is looking over all of us.

Ive been thinking long and hard about what i wanted to say about Danny Powell, and it has been unusualy hard, and I belive thats becaue he was such a unique man. Danny was like another father to me. I remember when him and Annie lived next door to me and my mom, and i would mess up and get in trouble with my mom, Danny would always be there after i got yelled at, and he would actualy sit me down and have these long talks with me about what I did wrong and how to do it differntly next time. I guess why thats important is it shows the kind of man he was he was loving and kind and caring, he took the time to show me my mistakes and how to learn from them, and im not even his "real son". I cant remember seeing Danny without a smile on his face ever so that is why today as i write this and begin to tear up because i miss him so much i stop my self and look right up at him and smile back : ) You will always be missed Danny but I will see you again some day and I await the huge smile when i get there. God Bless You Danny Powell and forever Rest In Piece. And God bless you annie for being the brave sole you are, but it is ok to be weak sometimes, and I love you if u ever need anything I will do everything I can to help

June 4, 2010

I celebrate the life of my pal Danny by keeping his memory alive and remebering evry smile that came my way from him, Danny loved to laugh and knew everyday is a blessing! He knew how to make every person in his presence feel like family and feel like they are important, which alot of people lack that in this world today, he was very proud of his family and kept them near and dear to his heart, so today I will not only remember my friend, a hero, or a loving man, I WILL JUST SMILE, for that is what he stood for!!!!! I love and miss you Danny and I know that heaven is so much cooler with you there, we will meet again!

Danny, This past weekend Annie, Dee, Rebecca and I went out for a little girls night out, we has so much fun it was great being with dear friends.. I know how much Annie misses you, she always puts on her beautiful smile and a strong front, when I know that not that deep down inside she hurts, but our Annie always puts others and there feelings in front of hers. I would like for you to let her know that it is okay for her to be sad when ever and where ever she needs to, she can call me anytime day or night even if she doesn't say a word,, I want her to have a safe place to fall, which she always had with you Danny, I am so glad you both had each other, even if for a shot time, Danny you are truly missed, it is so hard to believe you are really gone, you will never be forgotten, I think it would be appropriate to end this note with a picture of your amazing wife with her beautiful smile, and her bestie, bestie, bff4l....I am not good with words but this feels good,, I love you Danny:)

Hey baby...wow it's almost a year now...I somehow thought things would be easier... but the reality is that as time passes I miss you more and more. It's only the third of June and I have cried a river these three days... the tears don't seem to stop. I am trying so hard to be strong but I need to feel weak...I need to feel my loss... I need to feel the loss for you and me... my heart misses you... my soul misses your inspiration... and my body misses your warmth and caring hugs as you held me thru the darkness wispering you loved me in German "ich liebe dich" or the three taps that meant I love you...all the special ways of you and the way you spoke to my heart... I miss you my darling my love...Your eternal BabyDoll

Hello, gosh it has been a while! Seven months in fact since you went to heaven. There have been times I felt sooo together and at peace with all this but lately it has been hard facing the realities. No one to drink morning coffee with, no one to share comments with about the new season of American Idol. This month has been a month of reflection into my life the past and where I am going into this future. I miss you darling with every breath I take. Denying my pain has done me no good. But I ache for you your voice eventhough I know you are at peace and no longer suffering. I miss you.Ich liebe dich Darling

December 25, 2009

Merry Christmas baby... I was not suprised at how this morning greeted me... I missed you so much...waking next to you and hearing your voice...somewhere in the whisper of the morning I heard you say "Ich liebe Dich"... in your own very special way... I miss you and our family so much today. I am strong as you know and yourmemory will sustain me thru all this. The tears found me today in these memories... I miss you darling now and forever...yopu were and always will be my one true love...
Ich liebe Dich my darling

Sweetheart...it is the day after Thanksgiving... the beginning of the holiday season... I just want to say how thankful I am for having had you in my life...to love and cherish you and care for you... as well I am grateful that I was able to be strong for you in the end to see you make your passing into a better life... I am thankful you are at peace I am thankful for all the beautiful things you taught me and shared with me in the short span of life we were able to share... I wouldn't change a thing ... it is a part of me as you and your memory will always be. No matter where this life takes me I live with the thoughts of knowing you and loving you...

October 6, 2009

IT HAS BEEN 3 MONTHS SINCE YOU PASSED, AND STILL, HOW HARD IT IS TO THINK YOU EVERYAY.I STILL DONT LOOK AT FOOTBALL THE SAME WAY AS IT WAS FOR ME. IT TAKE EVERY OUNCE OF ME TO NOT PICK UP THE PHONE AND TALK FOOTBALL AND HOW TEBOW IS GOD OF FOOTBALL. I GUESS WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY IS I MISS YOU DAD. I LOVE YOU

September 17, 2009

Sweetheart... Yesterday was a rough day for me. I was trying so hard to do something and pictures of you came into my view that haunted me. Not the way I wanted to remember you. It was a reality check. But I am good today and I am missing you dearly...til we meet again...I love you! Always your BabyDoll

August 30, 2009

My darling it has been two months today since I was last able to seeyou and feel you close to me. I miss you dearly and I live everyday and try to be all that you want for me. I miss my safe place in your arms. The world is spinning and only you could help me gain control. Now I have to learn to do it on my own. Tough task but you would be proud. I miss you and love you dearly...Your Babydoll

I don't know what to say anymore. I feel numb most of the time. Don't know who where what or why? Sometimes I realize this is destiny. I am grateful for having had you and your love in my life and would never change a thing. NOT ONE MOMENT! I miss you dearly and am scared that life is starting to become easier to face without you. Acceptance of what has to be...I am still trying to define who I am without you...God Bless Sweetheart...Always your Babydoll

Well dad I gotta be honest. I am not looking forward to football this year. Watching the game without having to call you every five minutes to say did you see that wow look what Tebow did, or even watch Tebow carry the team as he always has done. I just lost all interest in the things me and you shared together. I can't say I hate football, I don't. I just cannot fatom watching it without you. To other people that may be insane. To me it is all I had to share with a man who I called dad. I really miss ya dad. Call me selfish but I figured I'd have you around a bit longer.

My deepest sympathies are with your family during this time. We grew up together on Yellow Pine Drive in the 70's as children. I have lost touch with the family, but continue to cherish the memories of that time. Although I was younger than Danny, he was always like a big brother and very well liked. I would like to reconnect with the family if possible. Again, my condolences are with you all.

Danny,
Everytime I saw you what a sweet sincere smile you always had upon your face. As long as I have known you since Elementary School that smile was plastered on your precious face! You were so kind so helpful to me we use to play as kids with you and Louie coming over into my neighborhood. In those days I was quite shy and naive but, you were such a big kid and loved life which I can see carried over!Kudos to you Danny! You have a special place in my heart and always will. What a Gentleman always. I am so fortuntate to have met your precious Ana and view the lovely pics of the family. Great times we had with Louie:)
Yes we are so selfish and only think of ourselves but, we miss you and love you dearly! Can not wait to see your smiling face again my friend!
Love you, ~ Becky Smith

My Dear Friend and Brother Danny, Although I did not have a chance to go fishing with you or spend much time laffing and joking with you, I learned a very valuable lesson from you and our brother Floyd. Life is short, DO what you can while you can, enjoy your family, cherrish every single moment of their lives and try to leave a lasting memory of all your good deeds to your fellow man. For this, in your short time with us, you have achieved. You have given so much to your family throughout your short time here. I only hope and pray that I can be all that you hoped for to the same family and meet you in heaven so we can bust a few racks of pool beyond the pearly gates. Your brother and friend for all eternity. Thank you God for the time you let him spend with us, this is not farewell Danny, its see yas later bro.

in your absence I have found
strength that I never knew
I could smile and live life again
in a world without you
but knowing that we loved
in your spirit I am blessed
you give me will and strength
I never thought I possessed
But now I find a path
one that seemed forlorn
I see you everywhere
in the dusk of early morn
I feel your heartbeat in rhythm
keeping me in time
the gentleness of your whisper
with no reason and no rhyme
every step I take I know
that you aren't far
as look into the night sky
I wish upon your star

Hey dad! Well it has been a month since we lost you. I wasn't ready for this book to close. I will never be ready for it to close. So I wanted to keep it on here another year this way I can deal with what I have lost and still be able to tell you all the things I want to say. You have touched so many lives dad. I used to think we would be lost without you. But we never really lost you. Your still here everyday pushing us do what we were meant to do. You were a gift dad. God gave us our time and he wanted you back up there with him. And thats ok with me. Its ok to be selfish and wanting you here with us. But God is a jealous god and he loved u just as much. You were only meant for this earth 46 years. I hope we can accomplish feats just like you did dad. We are all missing you so much. But we are living the way you wanted us to. We still laugh and cry when we tallk of you. You were truly blessed and we were truly lucky to have you. I love you dad and I miss you more and more each day. My only wish was I wanted you to always know where you stood with us. You were my dad and you were our kids papa. You will never be replaced. Bye for now. Don't forget to look in on us from time to time.

the moments that were spent
is in our hearts never to repent
thank you for the lessons you taught me
I am whom you thought I would be
I am honored to have known you
and my heart will always be true

I miss you DAD

MY TEARS HAVE STOPPED I DON'T KNOW WHY
I THINK OF YOU EVERYDAY I WANTED TO SAY GOODBYE
I AM MAD AT MYSELF BECAUSE I WAS HARD ON YOU
I JUST WANTED YOU AROUND TO BE MY DADDY TOO
AND NOW YOUR GONE AND I CAN'T STOP MY PAIN
MY TEARS SHED NO MORE, I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO GAIN
I ALWAYS WANTED A FATHER, ONE WHO WOULD LOVE ME SO
I LOVED YOU SO MUCH LIKE A FATHER MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW
IF I WAS HARD ON YOU, IT WAS ONLY TO KEEP YOU HERE
NOW YOUR GONE AND I HAVE NO MORE TEARS
IS IT BAD THAT I CAN NOT CRY
I DID MY BEST TO SAY GOODBYE
HOW ARE WE TO GO ON NOW THAT YOUR LIFE IS THROUGH
I WAS NOT READY FOR YOU TO GO AND LEAVE US HERE WITH OUT YOU
I HAVE STRUGGLED FOR SO LONG TO FIND COMFORT IN MY HEART
TO BE CLOSE TO SOMEONE LIKE YOU, YOU ALWAYS HAD THE PART
NOONE WILL EVER TAKE YOUR PLACE
NO NEED FOR INTRODUCTION, NO NEED FOR A RACE
YOU WERE MY FATHER, EVERYONE COULD SEE
I WAS LIKE YOU, YOU WERE LIKE ME
I PROMISE I WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR FACE
YOU WERE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE TOO HARD TO REPLACE
AND NOW I CLOSE WITH NOTHING MORE TO SAY
I LOVE YOU AND WILL MISS YOU MORE AND MORE EACH DAY
GOD BLESSED US ALL WITH GREAT MEMORIES OF YOU
YOU ARE NOW IN HEAVEN WITH YOUR DAD WATCHING A GAME OR TWO
DONT WORRY TEBOW WILL WIN FOR YOU
AFTER ALL HE IS THE BEST HE WILL GIVE US TWO
I WILL TRY MY BEST TO MAKE YOU PROUD OF ME
YOU TOLD ME I CAN DO ANYTHING, AND BE WHAT I WANT TO BE
DON'T WORRY ABOUT US WE WILL BE JUST FINE
JUST CHECK IN ON US AND SHOW US A SIGN

Annie and Family, It has been a few weeks since I posted on here last, I see in your writings the pain and suffering you and Angela are going through. It Brings tears to my eyes knowing the pain that you both are going thru, and knowing there is nothing I can do to take that pain away and ease your burden. Know that I am with you in Spirit, and my Prayers are with you and the kids always. I miss this man, He was a brother, a father, and a great friend. The lives he has touched show on these pages every time I read through them. Some times the words are hard to find, but knowing in your heart that he is still with you guiding you, will help you to overcome the pain. I Love You Sissy and Angela, and I feel your pain.

on wings of eagles you begin to soar
leaving the world that you did adore
honor above all else I see
as you are destined just to be
a spirit free from the worldly pain
for God and Country you did reign
a destiny you saw and other's ignored
you fought the battle you implored
a mark you leave on those you did touch
they remember now and miss so much
memories strong and laughter shared
of all the things that you dared
indelable marks on lives who knew
all the wonder we did see in you
a michevious grin a twinkle of the eye
tears are hastened we look to the sky
on eagle's wings you will soar
as you reach the destiny of heaven's door

It has been three weeks. I can't stop thinking that if I made it there 5 or 10 minutes sooner, I would have felt better about this. I have waited my whole life for a true father. And now that I have it God took you away so suddenly. I never wanted to make you mad at me. I never wanted you to hurt. I only wish you would could say I love you baby girl. Your voice transends itself throughout my heart. My mother is so lost without you. I am lost without you, I feel like I lost my protection. The cloak you had me under is gone and I feel more scared than I ever have. I am scared of what is to come of our family. I am scared to try and make it out in this world. I hear you in my head everyday saying you don't need noone to teach you, you can do it. You know how. I plan on getting that license asap before I leave here. I know that is what you wanted me to do. You wanted me to spread my wings and quit being afraid of the life that surrounds us all everyday. So protect this time ok. Don't let me go over the curb again. Help me to be patient and not be afraid. I love you dad and i miss you so damn much.

It seems as if messages to you dwindle but that does not mean that you were missed any less. Each day goes by with a void in my life and surroundings.

my heart aches with every tear
I embrace memories I hold dear
This man's love I never knew
would hold my heart ever so true
I miss him now as he soars above
and know in my heart that he did love
the depth of me and all that I'll be
through his eyes he did see
a fragile heart he held with care
took me places I'd never dare
held me high on an angel's wing
a vision now it does bring
a man whose life had touched a few
who always knew what to say or do
he held me tight when fear did call
he caught my hand if ever I did fall
I roam these rooms in search of this man
trying to hold on to all I can
the days go on forever it seems to be
eventhough he is not with me
I miss him so my soul does cry
gazing up to a starlit sky
a bitter tear escapes my soul
no one it seems can ever console
this restless heart feels so alone
I miss him  my love for him is easily shown

let me cry
to clense my soul
its a way for me
to gain control
of the world around
in a tail spin
it helps to find
a place to begin
a place of comfort
to ease my pain
let the tear drops fall
like bitter rain

my heart feels empty
with tremendous loss
my mind is unsettled
I may sound cross
But I am just trying
to find all that I lost
No matter how long
no matter the cost
my forever love
my dear sweet friend
just let me cry
til the pain does end

At night I reach to hold you or wait to hear the sound of you breathing next to me. There is solace in knowing you are at peace and no longer in pain. But I miss you dearly.~your loving wife~Annie

When I wake up here, I always look to see if you have been up to feed the fish. Look into the dining room just to see if you are on the laptop. It is so hard to imagine you have been gone for a week. It so hard to believe that you will never walk though that door again. Our memories of you will never cease. We will keep your memory alive in our children especially Savana. I love you dad and I miss you so much.

My Friend
I have had time to grasp your passing
But it still does not seem real.
Today I Farewell Your presence
Your soul I will forever feel.
Forever I will love and hold
Memories that have been shared
As the days pass and the months go by
Reflections of our time together
Will remind me of how special you were.
As those months turn to painful hours around the clock
I will remember that goodbye isnt forever
Reflections will remind me of how special you were
For your legacy is what you meant to others.
The horizon that sets in the afternoon and rises in the morning
Is now beautifully glistening as your soul enters the heavens.
Dearest friend
Goodbye does you no justice
Let us just fade from the vision of each
And know that sometime soon
We will meet again.

For Danny

Annie,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May God fill your heart with peace as time goes by, knowing that Danny is with God in Heaven and the Peace and Glory have replaced his worldly pains.
May God bless and keep you and yours safe form all harm.

Everyday I miss you
It seems like more and more
But I know that you await me
On the banks of heavens shore
Mornings I hear you calling
Beckoning me to awake
I know you're watching over me
With every breath I take
My world sometimes seems empty
Then rebounds with thoughts of you
I know you look down upon me
And bless my days through
My sweet angel my darling prince
All I want you to know
Is from the day you went peacefully
Our love continues to grow

July 6,2009
I love you sweetness
Your Babydoll your wife

Sis, I know that things seem to be at the very end of your rope, not to worry things will find a way to come to peace. Danny is now at peace and not suffering any longer, his soul is watching you and his loved ones. He will always smile upon you Sis, of that I am sure.

My thoughts are with you Annie and your family. Though I did not know him, from what Tanya Kelly had told from speaking with you, he was a great man, and will be sadly missed by all friends and family. My prayers are with you.

Annie and family, I know I said this before, but I have to do so again... My heart and shoulders are always here for you, my friend. God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put his arms around you and whispered, "Come with Me"; with tearful eyes we watched you suffer and saw you fade away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, laying loving hands to rest; God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best. If tears could build a stairway, and heartaches build a lane, we would walk the way to heaven, to bring you back again. Friends may think that we have forgotten when at times we smile, little do they know the heart aches, our smiles hide all the while. To some you may be forgotten, to others a part of the past, but to those who loved and lost you, your memory will always last.

Dearest Annie and family,
My heart breaks for your loss. Ive never seen someone so proud of his country and family as well as supportive of both. I loved hearing his laugh and boy could he make us laugh! This is an old Irish blessing that I have had read for Danny today.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

All our love

A man with not little too say. A man who always fount a way to be right even if he was wrong.I was only fortunate to have been in the presence of a wonderful creature for 9 years as his only daughter (step. Even in this short time I have managed to open my heart and allow him to be a part of all our lives. To gain not only brothers, and countless Uncles and another grandmother, I gained a real father. A grandfather for my children he was. Always putting a smile on children who loved him so. Will greatly always be missed in my heart and in the countless lives of others. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU DAD. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU AND USA

I've only known Danny for a short time. When we moved in to our apartment we saw nothing but gator symbols. We were like " oh lord, a gator fan". But Danny and my son would talk about the gators and the noles. Soon we came to realize that there are some good gator fans and Danny was one of them. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Your neighbor, Julie & Walter

Ana,

Although I didnt know Danny, he must have been a heck of guy because he loved a heck of a girl. I am sorry for your loss and I know that words can't describe what you are going thru now, but just know that you have a friend in Virginia that loves you and him dearly and is there anything you need or if you need to talk please call. I thank him for his military serivce to this great Country. Because serving the military is the most honorable and selfless thing a person can do. So please take care of you and your family and I am here if you need me.

Prayers and hugs at this time!!!

your friend always,

Mrs. Powell,
My God see you through this tough time of pain and sorrow. I know that time doesn't heal all wounds, but let the wonderful memories fill your heart with joy and ease out the sorrow.

Danny sent me a friends request on myspace, and called me a good American for serving my community as a firefighter and strongly supporting my military. He was a good friend even though we only knew each other on myspace.

Danny was a GREAT American and he will be missed. May God Bless you and see you through these tough times.

I know that you are with our father in Heaven looking down on us patiently waiting for Ana. I know that my heart will be missing a little piece of it with you gone, the short time we knew each other on this earth will leave a lifetime of memories in my heart, I'm sorry that we are left behind with sad hearts but I can't wait to see ya again. To my brother in christ, you will be truly missed and I know we will meet again. Watch over our Ana and guide her, from there and I will eually keep that same promise here on Earth.
