THE WALL OF FACES

Daniel, I was there when we lost you and there when they said they had found you. You remain in my heart and prayers every day of my life. So regrettable to loose you and others at such a young age. Be with God my friend, will see you in heaven one day.

Your death and sacrifice have been in my heart ever since I first heard of your drowning.

I was there, looked around and you were gone. Although you are no longer with us physically, I know and will always remember you. That is why I named my 1st son after you. I will always carry that day in my mind and heart. I know you are with our heavenly father and we will be together one day. God Bless You my brother.
