Dear Danny

I know we were a crazy family, and we lost a member that can't be replaced. We all wish we could have just one more day with you, but we will, although not soon enough. We all cry for ourselves because we miss you; we know you're in a better place now and happy and filled with joy. We cry because as long as we're on this Earth your absense will be felt strongly, and we will miss your laughter and humor. We all feel the void, and we always will. It's one of the saddest things I have been through yet. We will all get through this though - and maybe you have given us a gift: you have shown us how precious life is. No one of us can be replaced, and we are all special in our own way. We all know that you loved us and cared about us as much as we loved and cared about you. I will always be greatful for having known you for what you have shown us and taught us. Your job here was done and now you have bigger plans. What God has planned for you I can only imagine. I know we will meet again, and smile and laugh at all the trouble of parting. I still can't, and we all can't believe you have left us. Until we meet again, I will forever be your brother - Jeff
