Love,
Aunt Carole

You are missed always.

Jarrett

Happy 50th Birthday big brother. We sure miss you. Know you and Emily are tearing up Heaven today. Love and miss you. Meredith

Happy 52nd Birthday, Daniel. Have some cake with Emily.
Aunt Carole

Daniel, my first nephew, how I adore you—just never got enough time to see you with your mom and dad moving around so much in the early days. I remember how you adored your little sister when she came along when I visited in Boston and going to zoo in Hattiesburg. Before we knew it, Nathan was here and you had a brother. Fun times when Alice came to visit with the three of you. Now, I’m enjoying Amanda. She’s smart as a whip and a bit stubborn and competitive—now who does that sound like? Missing you, Aunt Meredith

Happy 51st Birthday, Daniel. Looking at all of the pictures of you really made me a little sad. We do miss you. You and Emily have a piece of "Heavenly Birthday Cake" to celebrate!
Aunt Carole

Ironic that you were in a dream I had last night. Happy birthday! Still miss you all the time!

Daniel. I think of you all the time and miss you just as often. I was thinking about the Easter you brought Amanda to David and Alice’s. We took her to see the baby goats and fed them with the bottle! Such a wonderful time with everyone and you Smile was back! I will always think of you on a silver sailboat. Sail On, Daniel. You are always in our hearts. Aunt Becky

You are never forgotten. All throughout the year I remember you.

Miss you!

Happy birthday in heaven Daniel. You are forever missed and never forgotten.

I’ve included some current adorable photos of Amanda. She is following in Daniel’s footsteps: Amanda is cute, bright, and enjoys attention. She is so much like her Daddy. Daniel would be proud!

It is had for me to realize it has been 5 years. I miss you every day and talk to you in my own way. Know you are in a better place, but still miss you.
Mom

It is hard to believe it has been 5 years since you pasted my friend. We love and miss you! I miss our conversations and your friendship. I know you are in a better place but your memories will last forever. We all hope Amanda and Emily are well. I hope Amanda knows what a great father you were and how much you loved her. I will be happy to tell her for you one day if I have the chance.
Much love!!

Your friend,

Howie
Mike Howard

You are always in my heart and miss you every day. Love you very much.
Mom

Happy Birthday, Daniel! Aunt Carole

Dear Golden Child, you will always be missed and loved in the hearts of so many!!! I know you are the Angel on Amanda's shoulder! Love always from Becky and Barry

I miss you! I know you would be proud of my accomplishments this year. I think about you often and miss you. I am going to see one of your favorite bands this weekend and I will be thinking about you and missing you a lot!
Jarrett

Daniel, you are still so special to all who love you! I have so many memories of you as a tiny baby, a curly haired toddler and grown up to be a fine young man and the best father!!! I know you are surrounded by those who have gone on to another life. Becky and Barry

Missing you today . Each year gets a little easier not having you with us until one of my kids reaches a milestone or is celebrating something good or struggling with something challenging. That is when I want and miss you the most - so you can witness these triumphs and the defeats. Then I realize you are with us already ---in spirit- laughing and crying with us. Miss you Daniel.
Xxoo - Meredith

Daniella and I were talking about you today and remembering you fondly, Daniel. We continue to miss you...
Aimee

It is hard to believe another year has passed without you. It does not get easier. You are forever with me,
Mom

We were thinking of you as you are getting older! Have a Happy Birthday in Heaven. Give Emily a hug from us.

Aunt Carole and Uncle Golson

Happy Birthday, dearest Daniel. I know you didn't like celebrating your birthday as it made you feel older, but you loved the fuss we made over it and you anyway! Much love, Aimee

Missing you today big brother! Although we still see/think/hear of you a lot, it is not the same. However, we were laughing about you this morning. The time Matt rode with you to Burnsville; he was hoping to get a little rest. Nope. You talked the whole way - - 9 hours. Miss and love you.
Meredith

Daniel, you were like my first baby because your mother and I were together so much at Granny and Pop's that first Summer! What a sweet beautiful baby! The first time I saw Amanda, my heart stopped!! She looks just like you!!! You were so well loved by your family and friends! I miss you.. Aunt Becky

I have been thinking of you every day and have said a prayer. You will be forever missed by me. You know you were my first! I will always love you.
Mom

Happy 47th! You are always missed!

I am sharing something I ran across. I don't know who wrote it, but it reflects my feelings of loss of a loved one. I continue to talk to my parents sometimes as if they are in the same room as I talk to Daniel when walking to my sister's house across the field where I see him stooping to talk to his daughter. Daniel was my first nephew. I adored him as a child, attended his baptism, his first wedding, and had the opportunity to spend his last Easter with him as I saw what a wonderful father he had become. He continues to live in all of us.
                   All is well.
Death is nothing at all.  It does not count.  I have only slipped away into the next room.  Nothing has happened.  Everything remains exactly as it was.  I am I, and you are you, and the old life we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were together, that we are still.  Call me by the old familiar name.  Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.  Put no difference into your tone.  Where no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.  Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.  Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.  Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.  Life means all that it ever meant.  It is the same as it ever was.  There is absolute and unbroken continuity.  What is this death but a negligible accident?  Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?  I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.  All is well.

Wow - - three years have gone by. We sure miss you. There are times that we all feel you with us and that is a blessing. We wish you were with us physically, sharing in our experiences and of course, being with Amanda. Miss you big brother. Love, Meredith

I didn't forget. Will always remember you!!!!

You are in so many hearts today and forever. So many memories and such a legacy in Amanda. Somewhere you are sailing happily in the sun and warm breezes.

Thinking of you today, Daniel, knowing that you are at a place of peace that you would never leave if you could.  I surely hope you and Emily are looking down today at us and realize how much you are loved and missed.

Aunt Carole

Daniel,think of you every day; especially today. We love you and miss you.

Daniel, I am thinking of you today as I do every day in some way. I will always remember your birthdays that we shared together and how you didn't like celebrating your birthday the morning of, but by the evening you were all for it! And how Alice's pound cake was your favorite. And so, here's to another birthday, Blue Eyes, we miss you and wish you were with us. Love, Aimee

Happy Birthday Big Brother. We are sure missing you daily, but especially today. We were over in Alexandria over the weekend and I was pointing out places where I know you used to go or where we would meet up with you for dinner. I miss you so, but know you are no longer in pain and in a much better place. It is not fair, but I know it is truth. love and miss - - Meredith

I'm just checking in to let you know that I'm thinking of you. It's been a long year for me...many many times I have thought about you. You are greatly missed Daniel.

I am thinking of you today, Daniel, and all of your family. I think of you often, as well as our Emily. I bet the two of you have had some conversations--especially with Granddaddy Wentworth! I made a memory book for Amanda with pictures of you and your family and friends throughout all of your years so she can always remember you.
Love,
Aunt Carole

It is a hard year for me without you. You will always be my first child.
You will always be with me. This year hs been hard for me.
Love you always.
Mom

It was 2 years ago today. As it has been getting warmer here, I remembered being down in Norfolk saying goodbye to you, asking you to let go so you would not be in pain anymore. I so wish you were here - -the old Daniel healthy, happy and full of life. But I am at peace that you are at peace finally big brother. Miss you - - Meredith

Merry Christmas. I was thinking about you and your family this morning. I miss you.
Jarrett

How Daniel loved to talk---all you did is just have to start him off. He then had the floor, except with his cousin, Buddy, and I am sure there are others also. I was only able to share moments in his life. I loved how he said Aunt Meredith. I took several trips to see him as he grew up, and Alice and David were faithful about there trips to Mississippi.  I will finish later!!!

Happy Birthday, Daniel. I treasure all the birthdays I was able to spend with you and the celebrations we had while we were together. I always loved sharing a birth year with you.
Love you always,
Aimee

I can't believe today you have been 45 years old. We all continue to miss you and grieve for the times we did not get to have. Although, your "Daniel" magic emerges sometimes - whether it is a look or saying one my kids reveal or a double rainbow that is suddenly observed -- we know you are with us always. Happy Birthday Brother.

I can not forget today,the day you were born. You will be forever in my heart and thoughts.
Mom

Happy 45th birthday, Daniel! You are certainly missed and thought of often.
Much Love,
Aunt Carole

I had a great laugh a few years ago as I was sitting with Mike Howard and got on his phone and texted Daniel to wish him a happy birthday. I can't repeat what it was I said on here, but it was funny and Daniel knew right away who had gotten hold of Mike's cell phone!!! I think of Daniel all the time and know he is with each and everyone of us he left behind. I feel it.

This second year has been very difficult. My sister Carole said it might be that way. We will be with Amanda for her birthday party on August 25 and will tell her you love her as much aw we do.

Thank all of you coming on July 1. It was wonderful seeing all of you and hearing stories. Daniel appreciates your love as I do.
