This time one year ago the world lost a unique person who became our shining star. Our hearts were broken, the heartache of knowing we would never see you or your smile, touch you, hold you, hear your voice or laughter again was a pain like no other we have ever known. We have cried oceans because of the missing Daniel. We will forever hold you in our hearts. We are always talking about you and take you wherever we go. We know you are still with us, we just can't see you. Memories of you are precious and we hold them close always connected through time and space. You were so loved as a son, brother and uncle D, forever and always beyond words, missed beyond measure.
Forever in our hearts
Mum, Dad, Lisa, Courtney and Jakiah
