I have many memories of you and Michael. I love you two and even though we grew apart and hadn't seen each other since we were kids, I still think about you all the time and miss you so much. Our wolf games were the best. The thought of never seeing you ever again breaks my heart. I miss your silliness. Rest easy cousin.
My dad was just great. It is so difficult with him not being here. We had so many memories. Laughs, tears, we shared. There were many hard times we faced, obstacles. I remember him acting like a predator, wolverine, a lion. His favorite color was red which is now starting to be mine, his favorite animal a lion, favorite food I have no idea because he loved all food. The way he would eat would always make me laugh it was as if he hadn't eaten in years. He was silly and although he wasn't happy here, he did his best to make my family happy. He had many flaws but we all do. He used to write me letters when he was locked up I don't think I ever sent him anything back… besides one time. With him gone now I'm learning many things. I don't always do what I learn but it still in my brain. Having him gone is heartbreaking but knowing he's probably happy in a wonderful place heals part of my heart. I know sometimes he messes with me trying to scare me lol. I can feel him next to me sometimes. A couple days ago I was talking to him I would imagine things would say and just keep talking. When I was in the car with terry and gma and gpa and Anthony there was a lake and trees and a sidewalk… I imagined me and him waking there talking about everything that's gone on in our lives so far. I do always want to visit him. I feel this world just getting worse and worse without someone like him putting a smile on my face. Love and miss you Dad, daniellie ♥️💩
It will almost be a year and there is not a moment I think of you. I miss you so much. I yearn for the day I will see you again just to hear your laugh. Take me to visit you. I still ask why and don't understand. Damian is doing amazing with basketball. I'm sure you know. Danielle is hurting and misses laughing with you. If you can visit her in her dreams. Love you forever Mom
Daniel's smile and laugh were always contagious. Since the first day we met until the last day we spent together, he knew exactly how to make anyone smile. He was a great father and husband. Very attentive and extremely loving. He made sure we always felt loved and he would make sure to tell us every day. When he took a job out of town he would still make a 6-hour drive on a Friday just to spend a day and a half with us. He would make us all Breakfast Saturday morning and would be sure to do all the chores around the house. I would ask him to just relax, but he would say he wanted everything to be done so we could all just hang out and chill on the couch cuddling. He loved taking the kids to the park or just wrestling with them. He enjoyed making us laugh until tears came out. He was a kindhearted soul. Unfortunately, this world was not for him, but I can assure you that he tried his best. He will be missed. We love you.
Last time I saw Daniel he must of been 11 or 12, he was such a sweet well behaved kid. I saw your dad, Horacio the other day and he is so sad and devastated, losing a child will never be easy, hardest most painful thing a parent has to go through. May God rest your soul, and my sincere condolences to all your family.
Daniel made me feel like I was a person with real value in a world where it's too easy to feel like more of a burden rather than anything/anyone positive. I didn't know him for a very long time but I want his family to know he was a positive person that made a huge impact in my life. He was special, sincere, and good to everyone he met. He made people laugh and became very important to me in a short time. I will never forget him or stop missing him as long as I live. My deepest condolences go out to his family and children (especially) should know that he was capable of caring about others and it impacted me deeply that he saw me as a person that had value. He made me realize that he could see the good in myself as a person that I could not see…until I looked back at our friendship. His death is a huge loss and he will be missed greatly. I know that to me he already was an angel that God called home way too soon. I am sorry for the loss of his smile and for the loss of him. I am thankful that I got the chance to know him.
