Daniel,
It is hard to believe that it has been six years since your homegoing. Maddax is 8 ½ and in AIG classes. Your brother is doing what he loves best. Daddy is still taking care of all of us at home. I am enjoying my job with Wells Fargo in the HR department. I love what I do. However, I sure miss you. I know you are having a wonderful time in the Lord. I long to see you, hug you and kiss you cheek. Soon, son, soon, I will see you again. To say I miss you is an...

Good Morning Daniel,

Today is your fourth anniversary of your homegoing. Boy, I miss you. Your Dad misses you. And, Dale misses you so much!!! Dale has a new job and Maddax is in the first grade. Maddax is on the Y's football team and made the first field goal for the team. He is beginning to lose his teeth. And believe it or not, Maddax has found Dragonball Z; your favorite program. ...

Good Morning Daniel; today is your birthday. 10 years ago, for your 21st birthday, your dad and I took you to Greensboro's Chop House. We spent over $200 for just the three of us. I know you and your dad had beef; I had chicken. But, it was the dessert I remember - Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Truffles. Daniel, you when nuts over the truffles. I am so glad we have good memories. Today, we will go to Red Lobster and have some lobster rolls, which is a favorite of yours. You could...

Daniel, I was on the road a few minutes back of where I was on October 17th last year. Mom and I were coming back from Winston. I told Mom earlier that I feel empty but joyful. Those are two feelings that normally do not go together. I sure do miss you and the little 'things'. Dale has had a hard time this week. Maddax even said that he misses 'Uncle Dan'. When we say our prayers..God bless Mommy, Daddy, Maddax, MawMaw, PawPaw...And Jesus, say hello to Uncle Dan for us. Daniel, if we...

Hey Bud, It has been a year. I can't believe it. I just don't think that this is something that I am ever going to get over. I know that you are in a far better place...but I miss you...I started playing the bass. Sure wish I could play with you... "Blurry and Bother" are my two Danile songs...Been listening to them alot lately...was listen to "Bother" when I got the news last year...listened to it today...Just couldn't get you off my mind...I'll be by later for a chat...Love You Baby...

Hey Daniel, Its a little after 1am and I was sitting here thinking of you. I was cleaning out a closet the other day and found a gift bag which you gave me. It still had the name tag on it (maybe it was the time you gave us all "Spam" for Christmas). I carry that tag with me always...Kinda silly I know but I miss you so much. I can't wait to see you again. I LOVE YOU!!!

Daniel, in one hour, it will be 9 months since you went home to be with the Lord. I miss you. We all miss you! Maddax wants you to come home. I told him one day we will go see you. He knows you are with Jesus. Each night, when we ask the Lord to bless everyone, Mommy-Daddy-MawMaw-PawPaw-Maddax-Grandma-Grandpa, we ask Jesus to say Hello to Uncle Dan for us. My sweet son, until then, know I love you.

Mom

hug you and tell you we loved you, little

take you to be with Him. We miss you so much, although we know you are in the tender, loving presence of the Lord Jesus Christ.
You know He's coming soon for the...
