We are very sorry to hear about the loss of your son. There are no words. God bless your family and may His holy presence fill your lives and help you through this tough time.

Ofelia and family, My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May the Lord Almighty continue to give you strength and peace during this time. Que Dios los bendiga Chayo, Daniela y Miguel

I'm sorry for your loss, my heartfelt prayers go out to you all during this difficult time. Blessings.

I am at a loss for words and the irony is that Daniel did not need words or actions to do God's work. Daniel was therapy for me; he made the world stop for me so that I could just enjoy his presence and His presence. I am so grateful to have sat with Daniel, I am grateful that I got to rub his little hands, play with his hair and kiss his forehead. I wish I would have had more of those moments but I will be grateful none the less. Daniel, may you be running with the angels and when I need peace I will think of you!

I am so sorry for your loss. The family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Steve and Ofelia, You have experienced something that few parents ever know. Through Daniel's illness, you have learned that God "gives beauty for ashes, strength for fear, gladness for mourning, and peace for despair". I pray that as you mourn the loss of Daniel, you will feel God's presence very near...because He is. Love, Pam Buckley

My heart is so heavy for what your family is going through. I've prayed every day that God would wrap His loving arms around you all and give you strength and comfort to face these difficult days. I know His love will get you through. You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Denise

May you feel the Lord's loving arms wrapped around you and know there is not a day that has gone by you haven't been in our thoughts and prayers. We love you and are here to help in anyway we possibly can. I pray thoughts of Daniel being free and joyous in God's presence comforts you while sweet charished memories of him keep you warm.
