Danny, I would like to start out by saying you were very loved by many. When we met you were 12 years old and there was a bond between us that very first day. We would run around Woodsmoke Ranch like we owned the place. I looked forward to those weekends, and as time went on, we would hang out, outside of the campground, I remember when you started driving, I remember how excited you were to find out that Steve and I were having a baby and how very paternal you became over me. I remember the first time you came to see us after I had Chris, you looked at him and said "Hey I'm your BIG brother". You will always hold a very special place in my heart, and my only regret was losing touch with you 10 yrs ago. I just found out today that you are no longer on this earth with us and I'm devastated! I love you Danny,and Thank You for being such a big part of my life.

I had a dream about Danny a couple nights ago. He apears in my dreams every so often and I wake up thinking of how much I miss him. I wont forget about Danny because he was and is very special to me. When I think about Danny I always think about how much he adored his neice. I also think about how he always showed up to my Mother's house to just say hi. I know Danny is watching over us. I beleive he shows us signs he's here every once in a while , like appearing in a dream or playing a song on the radio. I still keep him alive in my memory. We miss you Danny.

Not a day goes by that I dont think about you, about our life, about our plans. I remember that phonecall the night that you passed away, hours before your untimely death. I remember waking up that night at 448 am the time when you were dying, feeling a cold chill pass through me. All of it is clear as day to me, like it was yesterday. I remember our last minutes together, I remember our last kiss together, your arms around me, holding my hand, comforting me, holding your hand, hearing you cry. I remember the phonecall I received telling me of your passing, falling to the ground, ripping strands of hair out of my head. The questions still linger in my head. My sweet angel, I fear that I will NEVER find a love like you again. My heart is forever broken at the thought of what would've been. My life will never be the same. You're heart was pure, our love was true. The pain is everlasting, the tears are neverending, my life will go on without you, but a piece of my heart will remain yours for the rest of my days.

January 30th, 2005 One Year Memorial



Angel Wings



At the end of the day when I am weary,

After a waterfall of tears have been cried

And I am feeling like the skies will be dreary

Nothing is there to fill the emptiness inside.



I lay my head upon my pillow

Just close my eyes to block all of the sorrow.

Wondering where I will ever find the strength inside to do it all again tomorrow..



And then I feel it inside me, I feel it all around me.

Like a gentle hand just wiped away the tears and held me close to wash away my fears...

It's you my angel, watching over me. And I know no matter what tomorrow brings, You'll be here to wrap me in your angel wings.



The sun comes up, it's time to face the day.

And I think that things are going to be okay.

But as the day wears on, my nerves begin to fray.

I feel the hollowness that creeps in every night.



And like clockwork all the tears begin to fall.

As I look at my reflection in the glass, the eyes looking back at me make me feel small.

And I ask, my God, How long is this going to last?



And then I feel you inside me,

And I feel you around me,

A gentle hand to wipe away my tears, holding me close to wash away my fears.

And I know no matter what tomorrow brings, You'll be here to wrap me in your wings. My Sweet Angel.



You are always in my heart.

I just wanted to write a little something to say I am still thinking of Danny. Every so often he comes to me in dreams that feel so real. He is usually comforting me in some way and smiling and we are talking. But when I wake I feel his presence so strong throughout the next day. Its been one year since he came to visit me here in PA. I miss him still so much and I still think of him every day. I cant wait for his next visit to me in my dreams again.

Everytime...



Everytime I try to fly, I fall Without my wings, I feel so small

I guess I need you

And everytime I see you in my dreams

I see your face, it's haunting me

I guess I need you



You're always in my thoughts....

Always in my heart...



"And every sunset that we'll miss, I'll wrap them all up in a kiss, And pick you up in all of this when I sail away."

My dear,

It's been a year since that day when we first met, there are absolutely no regrets. You have filled my mind with so many happy and cherished memories, that I will never forget. My life has changed in so many ways and you were truly an inspiration. I will think of you for the rest of my days...

One Year

A year has passed since that day when we first met

I never thought that I'd be sitting here

Sadness overwhelms me with every tear

Without you, all I have left are my own fears



Thoughts of what could have been fill my head

Wanting to tell you things that were left unsaid

Dreams of a future shattered by a tragic twist of fate

My life will never be the same

Without you, Love is an unfair game



I now look up to see your angelic face

I'm lost without your laugh, your voice, and your warm embrace

This pain is so surreal

Without you, I've lost the ability to feel



A year has passed since that day when we first met,

My love, there are no regrets

But in the end it seems I'm lost and I'm here without you once again.



Thank you for this last year. Memories fill my head. I will miss you and think of you for the rest of my days.

To Danny's Wife -

My deepest sympathy goes out to you. I can only imagine how you must feel. It's very unfortunate this had to happen, Danny would have made a wonderful father and I know he loved YOU very much. We can only thank God to let you carry on his name, his love and the good memories.



Take Care & Be Strong

Your Friend,

My Dear,

"These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase



When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears, When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears, And I've held your hand through all of these years, But you still have all of me



You used to captivate me by your resonating light But now I'm bound by the life You left behind

Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams

Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me



I've tried so hard to tell myself you're gone

And though you're still with me

I've been alone all along"



I miss you.



To all of Dan's family and friends,

I have chosen to maintain this guestbook permanently as a token of rememberance. Friends that are near or far will be able to share their thoughts on special occasions or just because. My prayers and thoughts are with everyone.

this is to be given to his darling niece...i will understand if she does not get it until she is a little older.please print it for her to keep.







A LITTLE GIRL

THIS YOU ARE

BUT I PROMISE YOU

UNCLE DANNY IS NOT TOO FAR



WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SKY

HE WATCHES THE SPARKLES IN YOUR EYES



UP IN HEAVEN WITH THE LORD

UNCLE DANNY CAN HEAL YOU

WHEN YOUR HURT OR SORE



I KNOW IT IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND

BUT I PROMISE

HE STILL HOLDS YOUR HAND



YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY HE HAD TO DIE

WITH EVERY CRY

ONLY THE LORD TRULY KNOWS WHY



HE IS NOW IN A BETTER PLACE

WAY BEYOND OUTER SPACE



JUST REMEMBER HE LOVED YOU SO MUCH

THIS WILL NEVER CHANGE

SLOWLY THE LORD WILL HEAL YOUR PAIN



NOW HE LIVES A "LIFE" OF PEACE

WATCHING OVER HIS VERY LOVED

PRECIOUS NIECE



GOD BLESS LITTLE ONE







IN MY HEART I KNOW THAT DANNY NEVER WANTS THAT PRECIOUS LITTLE GIRL TO THINK HE FORGOT HER. IT IS IMPORTANT TO ME TO HELP DANNY BE IN PEACE WHEN IT COMES TO HER. THAT IS WHY I WROTE THIS POEM FOR HER. PLEASE GIVE IT TO HER WHEN SHE IS OLDER. DANNY IS WITH HER FOR ALL TIME. SHE WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE CENTER OF HIS HEART.



GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY. I WILL PRAY FOR YOU FOR THE REST OF MY DAYS.

The reasons we came together have always been unknown. You know why we drifted apart and I have continued to think about you since. You made me realize a lot about myself, and helped me through many things. Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today. I thank you for that. Danny, I will miss you. To your family, I extend my deepest sympathy.

To My Husband:



I can wait for you forever

But that’s all the time I can give.

I’m not to sure how long that is

But it’s as long as I shall live.



I will think of you every minute

To the last second of my final day.

I’m not to sure when that will be

But I’ll think of you in every way.



I will give to you my entire heart,

Until it never beats again.

And when that time finally comes

I will have loved you to the end.



Dan, we chose the rocky path for many years, but we both know where our hearts were through all our obstacles. Thank you for making our final days together the most memorable and the most chersihed. You gave me your heart, what a special gift that will remain close to mine forever. Remember... "One day away from all the chaos, we will smile". I feel you near me and one day, my love, we will be together again. Love you, Always and Forever.. Chris :-)

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO

WITHOUT A FRIEND LIKE YOU,

TO HELP ME THROUGH EVERYDAY STRIFE

WHICH WE ALL HAVE IN OUR LIFE,

YOU GIVE ME SUPPORT AND HELP ME COPE

WHEN I FEEL THAT THERE IS NO HOPE

WITHOUT A FRIEND LIKE YOU,

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO!

THROUGH THE GOOD AND BAD IN LIFE

SOMEHOW WE CAN CUT IT LIKE A KNIFE

AND EVEN IF WE FEEL WE HAVE FAILED

WE KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT GONNA AIL

EVEN THOUGH WE DO LOTS OF THINGS

IF WE KEEP FLYING ON THE WINGS

OF KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM, AND HONESTY

THEN THATS THE WAY IT OUGHT TO BE

WE LAUGH AND WE CRY,

AND SOMETIMES WE DON'T KNOW WHY

BUT I GUESS THAT IS THE WAY

THAT GOD CREATED US TODAY.

I REALLY FEEL IN MY HEART

THAT WE WERE MEANT TO BE FRIENDS FROM THE START,

BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE FRIENDS

AND WE'LL BE HAND IN HAND,

AND SOME DAY WHEN WE'RE SEPERATED

WE WON'T BE DEVESTATED,

BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT AGAIN WE'LL BE HAND IN HAND!!!

WHEN WE ARE TAKEN TO GOD'S GLORY LAND.

SO I GUESS I'LL END THIS PHRASE

BECAUSE IM GETTING IN A DAZE

BUT I WILL SAY AGAIN AND AGAIN

I WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

IF I DIDN'T HAVE A FRIEND LIKE YOU.

GOODBYE MY FRIEND

LOVE ALWAYS BOB & KIM EWANIUK
