Daniel was an amazing man. A perfect Fiance, Daddy, Son, Brother and so much more to so many people.


We met in 2004 and in March 2005 moved in together. He took My daughter Caitlin on as his own and
they loved each other from the start.

Our son Harry was born in January 2006 and Daniel was fantastic. He would get up in the night to do
feeds and would happily change nappies.

Daniel and Harry only had 2 years and 9 months together but the time that they had was amazing.
Daniel would come in from work and take over with Harry insisting all his spare time was spent with
him. After putting him to bed he would come down and spend time with Caitlin helping her with her
homework which normally led to them both messing about. Their lives have changed so much since he
went but they were both blessed to have such love from him. He would do anything for them both and
brought them both such happiness and Joy.

In him I found my soul mate and best friend and I thought we would be together forever. We loved
each other so much and knew each other inside out. We both assumed that we would grow old together.
I am incomplete now I have lost him. I didn't realise it was possible to feel so much pain but I
wouldn't give up what we had for the world. I know one day we will be together again and until that
day I will try and make him proud and bring up our children to be all the wonderful things he was.

Losing Daniel was sudden and tragic. I never imagined that day that I would lose him. If I had
known, there would be so much I would have said to him but all I can hope for is that he knew just
how much he was loved by us all.

Daniel was always a strong believer in organ donation and it makes me so proud that he has helped
other people after his death.

He was strong, kind, courageous, loving and sensitive and it was an honour to be part of his life.
We will never be the same without him and it seems so unfair that such a special person would be
taken from his family that he doted on. Although life feels so hard I will forever be grateful that
I got to have him in my life and I will treasure the memories he gave us all my life.

He will be forever missed by us all

My poem for Daniel

If I could have you back again, even for a day
I'd tell you all the unspoken words I never got to say
If I could have you back again, I'd hold on to you so tight
I'd whisper words of love to you until day turned into night
If I could have you back again, I could never let you go
I'd tell you all the things I feel that perhaps I didn't show
I know that this will never be and life seems so unfair
But even death cannot break the bond of love we share

My family, tell a lot of lies, they never did before,
From now until the day they die, they'll tell a whole Lot more.
They used to tell the truth a lot, but now it doesn't Matter,
I died and went to heaven, now their life is all Shatter’d.

Ask my family how they are, and they'll say "oh Yes I'm fine!"
But they want to beg, "Please help me, ‘cause I’ve Lost that dad of mine".

Ask my family how they are, and they'll say, "oh I'm Alright",
If that's the truth then tell me please, why do they Cry each night?

Ask my family how thy are ’cause they seems to cope So well,
They didn't have a choice, you see, nor yet the Strength to yell.

You think you know the feeling, but in fact this Cann't be,
For even though you loved me, it was not as much as My family did.

They’ll smile and they will tell you, "It's OK, God Has a plan”
But then they’ll turn away and cry, ‘cause they can't Understand why ????.
You tell a joke they giggle, but in fact their not OK,
They wants to share the joke with me, but it won’t be Today.

I watch my family from here in Heaven, their distress Disturbs My peace,
Will someone please take care of them, and thus take Care of me?
"Some day you will feel better", "Yes I will one day" They lie,
They knows this won't happen until they day they die.

Ask my family how they are and they'll say, "I’m Doing good"
They cannot tell you how they feel - oh, how I wish They could.
Ask my family how they are: "I'm ok, I'm fine, I'm Coping.”
For God's sake, just tell the truth and say your Heart is broken.

Ask my family how they are and they’ll reply "I'm Well, and you?”
I'll shake my head in Heaven, ‘cause it simply isn't True.
They'll love me all their life's, just like I loved Them all of mine,
The'll lie and try to hide the pain, pretending that They are fine.

Their carnival is over, they have stepped off the Carousel,
But to save you feeling bad they'll say, "Yes thank You, all is well".
My family haven't gone mad quite yet, but oh, so very Near,
Don't ask them how their doing, ask them how they are Doing ...REALLY.

I’m watching them from Heaven, and I cann't hug them From here,
So if they lie to you, don't listen to them, but Please hug them and hold them close.
On the day we'll meet for ever we shall smile and I'll be bold:
"You're lucky to get in here with all the lies You've told!!"
God bless XXXXX
Sorry I'v not been on for a few days things have not been to good, but you and your angel have been in my thoughts and prays love always Sandra & Michaela & our angels Peter, David & Violet XXXXX

I thought of you with love today

But that is nothing new

I thought of you yesterday

And days before that too

I think of you in silence

And often speak your name

All I have are memories

And a picture in a frame

Your memory is my keepsake

For which I’ll never part

God has you in his keeping

I have you in my heart.

As you release this butterfly in honour of me,
Know that I'm with you and will always be.
Hold a hand, say a prayer, close your eyes and see me There.
Although you may feel a bit torn apart,
Please know that I'll be forever in your heart.

Now fly away butterfly as high as you can go,
I'm right there with you more than you know.
xxxxx

Loving you always

♥ If I could wish upon a star ♥
♥ I would wish for you back here ♥
♥ I know you're happy where you are ♥
♥ But I miss you and want you near ♥

♥ Although I see you everyday ♥
♥ In my thoughts and in my dreams ♥
♥ I miss you more than words can say ♥
♥ It just gets worse, it seems ♥

♥ I try to be strong for others around ♥
♥ But all I want to do is cry ♥
♥ I just sit for hours by myself ♥
♥ And ask the question 'Why'? ♥

♥ It's the strongest pain I've ever felt ♥
♥ I don't think I could describe it ♥
♥ Although I try, I do my best ♥
♥ I don't think that I can hide it ♥

♥ My life will never be the same ♥
♥ That's why it's hard to bear ♥
♥ Because since the day you left us ♥
♥ I think that life's not fair ♥

♥ Some things seem not to matter now ♥
♥ Even things that mattered before ♥
♥ You have no idea what I would give up ♥
♥ To make this pain less sore ♥

♥ People say we'll meet again ♥
♥ And yeah I know that's true ♥
♥ But I wish it didn't have to be this way ♥
♥ Because you know how much I miss you ♥

♥ I love you with all my heart and soul ♥
♥ And there's one thing you need to know ♥
♥ There's not one person in the human race ♥
♥ That could ever take your place ♥

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there. I do not sleep,
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the sweet uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night

Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there. I did not die.
So heed, hear when you awaken
what I say,
I live with you I guard your way

To Dad

Even though i can't see you i know you're really there,
I still love you more and more each day as nothing can end the love we share.

lots & lots of love from Caitlin x x x

My dear family
Dry your tears today
You know I love you so
It hurts me much to see you cry
Cos my family don't you know
I'll never leave you all alone
I've never left your hearts
God took me by the hand that day
He said we would never part
He kept his promise to me
I visit you all the time
You are the sweetest family
An angel here could have
If I could write a letter
I'm sure you know I would
To let you know I'm safe from harm
And that heaven is a real good place
I'm here with many angels
Some that you may know
Those angels send all their love
To all of you below
I know one day we'll meet again
On the day that you come home
I've saved a place for you my loved ones
It's near gods precious throne
I'll wrap my arms around you and
Lead you up gods stairs
Till then my lovely family
Carry on and dry those tears
Please do me one big favour
Look after one another
Please take the time to smile and think
That you still have each other.
LOVE ALWAYS DANIEL XXXXX

A SMILE FOR YOU
Smiling is infectious, you catch it like the flu
When some one smiled at me today I started Smiling too
I passed around the corner and someone saw my Grin
When he smiled I realized I'd passed it on to him
I thought about that smile and realised its Worth.
A single smile just like mine could travel around The earth.
So if you feel a smile begining don’t leave it Undetected
Lets start an epidemic quick and get the world Infected
EVERY ONE NEEDS A SMILE
LOVE ALWAYS SANDRA & MICHAELA & OUR ANGELS PETER, DAVID & VIOLET XXXXX

It's now 6 weeks since you last told me you loved me. I think back on that night you were taken to the ambulance and wonder why I didn't say goodbye. I never imagined what we had would be taken away from us so soon and that you wouldn't get to see Caitlin & Harry grow. Life isn't the same without you and never will be. I miss and Love you so much and that will never change. I will always cherish the time we had and the way you made me feel. I promise to bring Harry up to be an amazing man like you are and I will make you proud. Forever in my heart & thoughts

Change - Sugababes

If I could hold you close
Like you were never gone
If I could hear your voice
You'd tell me to be strong

But sometimes
I just can't
I just don't understand
Why you had to go
Why you had to go
I guess I'll never know

Ain't it funny how you think
You're gonna be OK
Till you remember things are never
Gonna be the same again
same again
Ain't it crazy how you think
You've got your whole life planned
Just to find that it was never ever
In your hand
In your hand
Change

If I could get to you
I'd be there in a minute
My world don't make no sense
Not without you in it

And sometimes
I just cry
can't say I
Don't know why.
Why'd you have to go?
Why'd you have to go?
And leave me here alone
And leave me here alone?

Ain't it funny how you think
You're gonna be OK
Till you remember things are never
Gonna be the same again
same again
Ain't it crazy how you think
You've got your whole life planned
Just to find that it was never ever
In your hand
In your hand
Change

You don't see it coming
Change
When the future comes knocking
It changed
It can make you or break you too
You just have to make it through
(You just have to make it through)

Ain't it funny how you think
You're gonna be OK
Till you remember things are never
Gonna be the same again
The same again
Ain't it crazy how you think
You've got your whole life planned
Just to find that it was never ever
In your hand
In your hand
Change

Change, change
Change, change
Change.
