Not sure what to say?





My Precious Son,

It is just short of a year.
We marked your 35th birthday two weeks ago. If you were watching, you saw many caring people who were there for you in your memory, for me in my grief.
From your perch in eternity, please send dad and Kevin and me some comfort and consolation. We still struggle with the fact that you are gone from us. We love you. We miss you, Dan, and all the things that could have -- should have -- been.

Loving you always,
Mom

Dan,
You left this life way too soon and we miss you already.
You were my Go-to Guy if I needed anything. When the green Jeep pulled-up in the driveway, I knew my problem was solved.
Like I said at your funeral, you would not want us to be sad over you because, as all your longtime buddies attested to, you always said, "We aren't here for a long time, just a good time."
Now you're at the Big Sox Game In the Sky with Danielle and Cuppy and still having a good time. Save me a good seat for when my game date comes up, and I will see you then.
Love, Dad

My thoughts and prayers are with the Miller family at this sad time. I went to school with Danny at Walters from K-8. He was always such a sweet person, I'm sure he will be extremely missed. I pray that God gives you all the peace and security in knowing that he is safe and happy and in a much better place. Made God be with all of you.

We had some good times and bad times Dan. I am sure you are at peace now and your legacy will not be forgotten. Mark Twain said "The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time." You were a man that lived life to its fullest.

I have so many great memories from the years when we were friends. playing baseball with Dan at Kennedy Park, and being in scouts together, the audio tapes we made, that pickle in the light fixture at McDonald's, the "cut-down" fights, going to the Auto Show, watching "The Breakfast Club" until we could quote every line, "Do Wah Diddy's," all the other shenanigans, and all the laughs. Those were great times. Even though we didn't hang out much after Sophomore year of high school started, it was always good catching up with Dan, and laughing about the old days whenever we ran into each other somewhere. To borrow a line from the movie, "A Bronx Tale," "The saddest thing in life, is wasted talent," and that is truly the case with Dan's untimely death.

RIP Dan. I remember going to my first Monster Truck rally with your family, ripping out my front teeth in your backyard, going up to your cottage in the summer and all the other fun stuff we did as kids. Even though I probably haven't seen you in over 10 years, I'll always remember the fun times that we had.

Although it has been years since we were in contact, I still have so many fond memories. Every Halloween I think about our scavenger hunts and the light up cat/pumpkin decoration. I know you are in a better place but it is still difficult to say goodbye. My heart and thoughts go out to the Miller family. RIP Dan, you will be missed.
