Danielle, my heart is broken knowing you are not with us anymore. We were NEVER in silence whether it be our walks around the park chatting about everything that came to mind, the heavy breathing from walking stairs or working out at the football field or gym. We spent almost every lunch together for years and I will cherish every moment we had. I loved seeing you on our Leap year lunch outing and saddens me you will not be there for out next one. Thank you for planning that so we could see each other that last time. You will be forever missed, Love you my friend. Rest easy

Danielle, I really don't know what to say...there's too much to say. My heart is breaking and I can't believe you're gone. There was so much left unsaid. I say what I need to say to you out loud everyday now and pray that you hear me. We were "THE Best Friends". Back in the day if they saw you they saw me..and vice versa. We went to school together, worked together and lived together. We were sisters and were rarely apart. I will remember every memory..every moment we shared...and there were many. I know you loved your family dearly and they will miss you so much. We will all see each other again and what a great reunion it will be. I'll love you forever! LYLAS(We ended each letter this way)

Auntie Danielle,

Whenever I think about you, I hear your laugh and see your smile. You knew how to make anything and everything funny, it was never boring being in your presence. Even though some time went by without seeing each other, when we reunited it was like we saw each other the day before. At Alyssa’s baby shower you hugged me so tight, cried, and said how much you love me. We stood there just hugging for 5 minuets telling each other ‘I love you’. That will forever be my favorite memory. I still can’t believe you’re gone, it doesn’t feel real. I love you, I miss you, til we meet again️

Love,
Kristina

To my mom…
I know you’re gone, but I see you in something everyday.
I go to the store and see things we joked about, I see things you bought for me or Anthony or the kids, and I start to tear up not able to really comprehend that we won’t be making those jokes anymore.
I come home and I see all the things you gave me as you purged out your house in Greenville, getting ready to move in here with me, with us.
I think about Cain and Sophia’s milestones that you’ll never see, I think about how glad I am you got to see some of them. I talk to your friends and cry, I talk to my friends and cry, I talk to Anthony and cry. I don’t wanna get out of bed, I just wanna have you show up and say ‘psyche bitch, gotcha!!!’ And then smack you but hug you because this isn’t funny at all
I wanna be mad at everyone, the doctors, our family, YOU, but I can’t. It doesn’t change anything. It doesn’t bring you back.
I know day by day it’ll hurt less and less, but for now I’m just embracing the pain. We’ll meet again one day, and I’ll give you shit for how you left us. And we’ll laugh and cry and I won’t have to catch you up on anything because you’ll have been watching this whole time.
I love you, and I will forever miss you
❤️ your FAVORITE (daughter)
