I know we weren’t really friends, but we were church family, every time I see an old friend has passed my heart drops. I miss all my old youth group friends, and wished I could have seen you again. The times at youth group with everyone was fun, with the OCC or the lock in or with youth explosion. You will be missed by many and the old friends at church. Me and my family will keep you and your family in our prayers.

I remember when I first met you...you immediately smiled at me and asked if I wanted to play with you. We played with your Barbies, and we colored, then played with bubbles outside as your mama, my mama, and I visited when you all lived in the basement of your aunt's house. I watched you grow up to not only be a kind, funny, and smart young woman, but also so full of love, of compassion, empathy, and wanting to help others. We may not have hung out or seen each other as often at times, but you and your mama both were on my mind a lot. It is heartbreaking to find out that you have been taken from all of us so early in life, and it is times like these that make it hard for us to keep faith that the Lord has His plans, and this...you being born when you were...and now departing when you have, is all part of that. Sigh. I am thankful that I was able to know you, to love you, and to have memories of you that make me smile. You will be missed by so many, Danielle. <3

Even though we lost touch as we grew up, I enjoyed every bit of time together as teenagers. I looked forward to family get togethers because I knew you’d be there & we’d have tons of fun!! 💜 I am so sorry that your time on this earth was cut short. But it makes me happy to know that your life was filled with passion & love from so many people around you. You will be deeply missed.
