Hey Danny,

I woke up this morning thinking about you and remembering how you were with my kids. I often dream about you and Beto. I always talk about you to Minda or Diego and Marco. I have accepted gods will, however, I missed you deeply! This will be the first Thanksgiving without you and of coarse nothing again will ever be the same. I can't believed how times flies and next month will be one year that you left us. I missed You and Beto so much!!! Your sis, XOXO Chely XOXO

You were the biggest sweet tooth I'll ever know and maybe it was all that caan you ate the made you the sweet person you were. You were amazing and you will live in my heart forever. I love you and I know that you are in heaven watching over us. I have no doubt, that even though heaven brings eternal happines, you have made it an even happier place with your amazing spirit.

Estimada y apreciada familia Sotelo,
lamento mucho la inesperada y repentina partida de Danny. No existen palabras de alivio que puedan quitar el dolor o la angustia que nos conmueve en este momento. Yo siempre recordaré a Danny por su sonrisa y cordiales saludos que siempre me brindaba desde que él era un jovencito.
En mis breves visitas a Berwyn durante los últimos 16 años, las veces que encontraba a Danny, él siembre me recibía con un fuerte abrazo y una gran sonrisa ya sea en la casa de mis padres o en plena calle. Danny en realidad ha dejado un hueco para todos aquellos que lo conocimos. Qué Dios lo tenga en su Gloria y que el Señor nos dé la fuerza en su fé para consolarnos por la partida de Danny.

To the Sotelo & Cambray families:

My condolences are with you all for your great loss. My family will always remember Danny with great love. He was a kind, respectful and generous person that always had a great smile and always made sure that he took time to say hello and chat.

I rembember when Danny lived at Fernando's building and he stopped by to ask if he could take out my side plants and put cement so rodents would not go into the crawl space. I told him it was ok since the Hostas planted there did not look too nice. When I came home all my plants were dug out and put on the side, but I did not see a sidewalk. When I asked him about it he told me that he had dug the dirt, added cement and put the dirt back. I replanted the Hostas and they grew better than ever, so good that, for many years by mid-summer they would invade the pathway. Everytime I saw them, it always made me smile and think of Danny's "sidewalk".

Dearest Brother Danny,

How I wised so bad that I would have hugged you last Thursday. I hate myself for not telling you that I love you that night. You walked me & the boys out & we didn't say good bye. I know you loved my kids (pendejitos, like you used to call them). Diego & Marco loved you too. I will make sure they never forget you. You will always live in my heart & soul. I promise to look after Bubbles & Stefie. I will miss your loud mouth and your greetings when I go to mom's house. Thank you for being my brother and for all the memories, I will cherish them forever. You & Beto our mine & my boys guardian angels. Love your hippo!!

Danny,
I keep waiting for you to run down the stairs and sing "Porkychu, Porkychu". I remember how I used to tell you to shut up already. What I would give to hear your voice again.I cannot believe that you are gone. All I want for Christmas is You. You left us too soon and for that our hearts are all broken.The only thing that comforts me is the thought of Beto receiving you with open arms.I love you and will miss you soooo much. You lil sis,
