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

I'm Here

I stood by your bed last night;
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying you found it hard to sleep.
I spoke to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
'It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here.'
I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached to me.
I was with you at the shops today; your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I flew with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently landed on you; I smiled and said, 'it's me.'
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, 'I never went away.'
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say 'good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning.'
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll fly across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you,
there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...
then come home to be with me.

my family

My family don't know I'm watching them
But I'm watching them just the same.
And I hear each tear falling on their face
At the mention of my name.

They says it sounds like music to their ears
And can be heard over a crowd.
I hear each tear falling on their face,
When my name is said aloud.

I watch them stumble through each day
As they wish the day would end.
And I hear each tear falling on their face
As they talk of me with their friends.

But there are few who truly understand.
This I've heard them proclaim.
And I hear each tear falling on their face.
Will my family ever be the same?

I know that their smile's could light up the sky,
But I don't see them smileing today.
But I hear each tear falling on their face,
and their blue skies have turned to grey.

I send my family hugs full of love
with the rays of the morning sun.
Then I won't hear tear's falling on their face's
For I shall erase them one by one.

Yes my family don't know I'm watching them,
But I'm watching them just the same.
And when I hear a tear fall on their face
I softly whisper their name

Till we meet again
Don't let the tears fall down your face
I am watching and waiting
Love Daniel xxxxx

pennies from heaven

Found a penny today
laying on the ground
but its not just a penny
this little coin I found

Pennies come from heaven
that's what I was always told
They say angels toss them down
oh, how I love this story

They say when an Angel misses you
They toss a penny down
sometimes just to cheer you up
To make a smile out of a frown

So, don't pass by that penny
When you're feeling blue
It may be a penny from Heaven
That your Daniel tossed to you

THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU XXXXX

If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.

If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.

If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You’d know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would.

Thinking of you today Kel, Caitlin and Harry xx

You can shed tears that he is gone.
Or you can smile because he lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back.
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him.
Or you can be full of the love that you shared,
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live for yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him and only that he is gone.
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on,
You can cry, close your mind, be empty, and turn your back.
Or you can do what he would have wanted, smile, open your eyes, love and move on.

Thinking of you all today and always. You know where I am if you need me. xxxxxx

If I could have a lifetime wish a dream that would come true.
I'd pray to God with all my heart for yesterday and you.
A thousand words can't bring you back I know because I've tried
And neither will a million tears because I've cried and cried.
You left behind my broken heart and happy memories to.
But it's not the memories that were wanted, it was, just simply you.

A thank you to all the people who visit our angels Peter, David & Violet and help us get through each day .

WE THANK YOU LORD FOR ALLOWING THEM THE CHANCE TO SEE YOUR LOVE.
FOR YOU SENT THEM A VERY SPECIAL ANGEL WHO NOW DWELLS WITH YOU ABOVE.
COULD YOU PLEASE JUST TAKE A MINUTE AND HOLD THEIR ANGEL TIGHT.
TELL HIM THAT THEY LOVE HIM AND THINK OF HIM EACH NIGHT.
THEY MISS HIM MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY AND THEIR HEARTS ARE WITH HIM ALWAYS.
ASK HIM TO WATCH OVER THEM UNTIL YOU CALL THEM HOME.
THEY KNOW HOW LUCKY THEY WERE BECAUSE A ANGEL LIKE THEIR'S ARE VERY HARD TO FIND.
JUST ONE MORE THING BEFORE WE GO...

WE WANT TO THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN,
YOU KNEW WE WOULDN'T COPE WITH OUR LOSS ALONE AND YOU SENT US A GROUP OF SPECIAL FRIENDS.
WHO SHARE OUR THOUGHTS WE DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID IF WE NEED TO BREAK DOWN AND CRY BECAUSE THEY WILL CRY WITH US,
THEY UNDERSTAND THE WAY WE FEEL BECAUSE THEY ALSO HAVE SAID GOOD-BYE TO SPECIAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE BECOME YOUR ANGELS.
THEIR ANGELS ARE THERE WITH YOU TOO WE ASK YOU TO WATCH OVER THEM UNTIL THEIR FAMILY CHAIN IS ONCE MORE COMPLEAT.
WE LOVE AND MISS THEM ALL
THANK YOU LORD FOR ALL OF OUR GONE TOO SOON FRIENDS!
LOVE ALWAYS SANDRA, MICHAELA & OUR ANGELS PETER, DAVID & VIOLET XXXXX
