Danny,
My heart breaks to believe that I am writing this, It was just last Monday that I was talking to James about you when I was mentoring him, as I often do. I guess because I always think of you as a kind hearted soul, like James and can see the similarities between the two of you in many ways, the goodness and the not so good, haha. I mention you to James because I know that James looked to you as a good person and that you had your share of heartache along the way. James had gotten in trouble for something at school that he didn't do, and I said to him, “It can happen to the best people� that’s when I mentioned you. When James was just a baby, he just loved being around you, I wish it were more often and through the years when we would visit The Steiniger Home, James’ first question would be, “Will Uncle Danny be there? You always greeted us with that great smile and laugh, taking the time to sit and visit with us. I remember one visit, after a little cry together, that beautiful smile found its way out, when I knew it was the last thing you wanted to do. I know through life’s journey you had your share of troubled times, like many of us have but you were special in the hearts of many, and even if you didn't realize it, you have had a positive influence in our lives. I wish that I had an opportunity to let you know. I hope in some way, my thoughts and love are reaching you in heaven. We know you are at peace now, but it still doesn't lessen the sadness that James and I are feeling for you. We will miss your presence in this world. Please watch over James, maybe you can be his Uncle Guardian Angel , we could use your help. I can see your smile, and I will always think of you with one. I will miss you and think of you often, as I always do and always will. I will light this candle for you and it will burn brightly In my heart forever, xoxo , Love you, Rest in Peace…. MaryGrace
