33 years old
Born on September 10, 1979 in Cleveland, Ohio, United States
Passed away on May 23, 2013 in Lafayette, Colorado, United States

This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Danielle Koran, 33, born on September 10, 1979 and passed away on May 23, 2013. Please leave a photo and a story for all to share but especially for her daughter, Ella, as she grows up. We all want Ella to know and remember what a special person Danielle is.

We found out what took Danielle from us. Here is the information from Danielle's mom, Jennifer...

"Lymphocytic Myocarditis.
This is very rare. Unknown toxin, virus, bacteria that gets into the body and an autoimmune reaction (lymphocytic) tries to fight off the toxin, etc. and damages the heart tissue (myocardium) while doing so. It stops pumping blood (electrical system?) to the bodies organs and eventually the heart stops pumping altogether and my sweet baby's heart just stopped. This was determined by a microscopic scar on her heart. Smaller than a pinprick.
I will spend my life finding meaning in Danielle's death. Hold her laughter and radiant smile in your hearts. love always, Jennifer"

If you would like to make a contribution to Ella's college fund please contact Jennifer Howell.

A tribute to my loving mother and precious daughter. Grandma loved Judy Garland, sweetheart. And how she loved you. I see you in Judy's tears.

Believe in rainbows,bluebirds and lullabies. As I sang to you every night -
You are my sunshine. My only sunshine. My heart aches.

A butterfly flew by my window today. Was it you? A cool breeze kissed my face today. Was it you? The sun warmed my soul today. Was it you? It must be you. Every time I close my eyes you are my every thought. You are a quiet part of me. Always were. Always will be.
I love you, sweetheart. Let your light shine through me. Ella and Alan,too. You are deeply missed.

June 30, 2013

Every morning when I wake and every night before I drift asleep you are my only thought. I dream of you, sweetheart. I will forever cherish our time together and I promise to take care of Alan and Ella for the rest of my days. I pray they find joy and continue to smile upon those they love, the friends they have, the life they have been given as you did so beautifully in your sweet way.

I also had the pleasure of working with Danielle over the years while she was at Google and Share This. She was wonderful to work with and my heart goes out to her family.

June 16, 2013

I wanted to share "Dear Mommy, I just wanted to wish you a ... I love you so much. I can't stand it. No matter what happens do not forget that love between us will last for ever and ever" "p.s. May all your wishes come true." I pass her love on to all of you. My life has been blessed by her and I will miss her everyday of my life. My heart aches.

Danielle and I met during our Freshman year at UD and became fast friends. I laugh over all the great memories, she had a way of lighting up a room. My favorite moment was watching her excitement when she shared the news that she was going to have a baby. I'm heartbroken to lose my friend, but I feel so lucky to hear her laugh and see her smile again when I look at Ella.

June 12, 2013

Danielle, you were one of the most attentive and kindest parents I have ever encountered at Ella’s Daycare Center. You genuinely seemed so appreciative of Ella’s teachers (Me). The smile on Ella’s face anytime you would walk into the room at pick-up time was priceless. Ella truly had an amazing mom, if I ever see Ella again I will be sure to let her know how beautiful inside and out you were.

June 6, 2013

to my little girl. I will look always into my heart and see you. I thank you for all the joy and laughter, tears and anger, watching you with pride. Ella, know your mom is the brightest star in the sky. Alan never forget the depth of her love for you. She left us at the peak of her beauty, youth and joy. Frozen forever in her perfect place of inner peace and love. God bless you.

June 4, 2013

Danielle - your laugh was contagious.When I last saw you, you were the happiest you had ever been - moving with Alan and Ella to Denver. I was so proud of you for having this dream for your family and making it happen. I will miss you dearly and am at peace knowing that your spirit,your laugh,your positive outlook on life will be kept alive through Ella. Thinking of you always.

June 1, 2013

I hardly knew you at all, but I remember how popular you were in high school. I remember hearing people calling your name all the time, in the hallway, or during lunch, or during study hall. I hardly knew you at all, and, still, I admired you for being the kind of person everyone wanted to be around. Everyone still loves you, and you will never be forgotten.

May 31, 2013

Dear Mr.and Mrs.Howell
My heart is very heavy with sadness for your terrible loss. My prayers are with you.

May 31, 2013

Danielle and I met at OMD and became fast friends. We had so much fun going out in Chicago. She was a positive person, easy to talk to and genuinely cared for others. She was also a riot, I really got a kick out of Danielle and her perspective on life. I know we would have enjoyed sharing stories about motherhood too. My thoughts and prayers are with Alan, Ella, family and friends.

May 31, 2013

Ella, your mom had a smile that lit up a room. She was smart, funny and loved to laugh. She dreamed about you before you even existed. And I never saw her smile brighter than in pictures where she's holding you. My prayer for you and your daddy is for peace in knowing that your mom is still here, guiding you and watching over you and faith that you will meet her again in heaven.

May 31, 2013

I was and still am proud to call Danielle my friend! She was one of the 1st friends I made in high school. I thought she was funny, smart, kind, beautiful, and brave. We had so much fun growing up together. She was a loyal and honest friend. She will truly be missed. Prayers for her daughter and family. Love you!

May 31, 2013

Danielle, I was so lucky to work with you at Google for many years -- you were incredibly kind, sincere and loyal to your friends, colleagues and clients, and your beautiful smile and great laugh lit up a room. I never knew you happier than when you had Ella though! You were such an amazing Mom to her, and I know your incredible love for Ella and Alan will live on forever. I will miss you.

May 30, 2013

I worked with Danielle at Starcom in Chicago. She was my cube buddy. We shared lots of laughs, I made fun of the way she would get sassy with pushy ad reps and 'tell it like it is'. Reconnected with her again in Chicago about a month ago; her face lit up as she talked about Ella and Alan, I left feeling that she had finally found her true happiness. God bless you all, my prayers to you...

May 30, 2013

What a beautiful sweet girl. Please accept our deepest sympathies. You are in our prayers.
Love, Mike and Barbara

Words fail me at a time like this. Danielle was a beautiful, fun-loving girl. May God bless her family and friends, especially her beautiful baby girl.

May 29, 2013

Danielle was my Alpha Phi sorority sister at UD and was always so fun and warm to be around. I'll always remember her "obsession" with the teeny bopper show, "Boy Meets World" and her huge smile. I was also lucky enough to randomly live in the same building with her in Chicago at 2 E. Oak St. We loved that roof top pool. My prayers go out to her family- especially her beautiful daughter.

May 29, 2013

So saddened to hear of Danielle's passing. We started ShareThis on the same day and connected because she was so easy to talk with and so genuinely kind. We often talked about our kids, vacation plans and what not, and her bright energy was always uplifting. My heart goes out to her family and friends, may you find comfort in keeping her memory alive.

May 29, 2013

My thoughts with Alan, Ella and all those lucky enough to be close to Danielle. Words fail me. I knew Danielle a short while but she made a lasting impression. Special prayers for Ella. May she know how special her mother was.

May 28, 2013

Danielle, You will be missed by so many new and old friends. You had a genuine happiness about you and it was such a pleasure to spend last week sharing a "cabin" with you. I appreciated our conversations about life and the future and I am saddened that we cannot share more together. We will meet again.

The Unfinished

September 14, 2013

In my husbands writing I found the following beautiful letter in my drawer that I believe he would feel good about me sharing:

The Unfinished

We cannot judge a biography by its length,
nor the number of pages in it.
We must judge it by the richness of its contents.
Sometimes those unfinished are among the most poignant.

We cannot judge a song by its duration,
nor the the number of its notes.
We must judge it by the way it touches and lifts our souls.
Sometimes those unfinished are among the most beautiful.

And when something has enriched your life
and when its melody lingers in your heart
it isn't unfinished...
It is endless.

To my loving husband, I give you thanks for all your love and holding on to me.

are you my mommy?

Easter in Desert Springs 2012. You are amazing, mommy.
