Miss you...
Life is hard without you..
I always thought we had time...
Time to grow up together..
Time to be parents..
Time to continue to love each other..
Time to get married and have more kids..
You were it for me.. we both knew at the end of the day no matter where you were or I was it will always still be us! :)

Heart broken for life!
Kayla is now 9 can you believe how big our baby girl is.. everyday she does something that reminds me of you...
You left me at such a young age, but I'm glad i was able to give you your biggest blessing before you left :)... You're lucky I have a good head on my shoulders and i have been able to take care of our baby girl! lol..

Umph another sleepiness night.. I can't go to sleep cuzI can't stop thinking about you!! It hurts to know that you are never coming back.. But I make sure your memory is still alive and I make sure to let ur nephew know who you are to him. It's crazy he never met you but he's always talking about his tio Lon. & it brings soo much joy to me knowing that he loves visiting his tio Lon. Every time I look into his eyes I see you in them big eyes long beautiful eyelashes. I wonder how life would of been if you were still here. I don't think I would have kids that's for sure! Lol. I just wanted to stop by and let you know that I'm always thinking about you. Not day goes by that ur not running threw my head. Welp untill we meet again! I love you! 💋 ❌⭕️❌⭕️

I love and miss you very much danny there's not a day that goes by that i dont wish you could be here with me and kayla. Im sad because kayla will never have any memories of her own. I just wished for time... time for you and kayla to have fun together time so that kayla couldve made memories of her own with you. Time so that you could take her to skool. Time for her ballet recital. I just wished that we couldve had you longer just so kayla had something else to go by. Not just pictures and not just the stories i can tell her. People say things happen for a reason but i have yet to see the reason why god would take a little 3 year old baby girl her daddy away. im not bitter because im glad i have kayla a piece of you that stayed behind with me and your family. I LOVE YOU and that will always be forever.

HAHA! everyone makes me laugh!! Pelon knows who was there for him and who really cared bout him. Any who, enough of this crap talk..tia dont let em get to you..we all know you love him, we all d0!! Pelon, not a day goes by that we dont think of you, we sit and chill with you every sunday, and every holiday!WE MISS YOU SOOO MUCH!!

Aqui estoy thinking about you carnalito
Every time you cross my mind tu saves que me aguito
I remember when we used to kick back and have a blast
It's hard to believe that was back in the past
I remember those times like it was yesterday
I knew if I was there and you were here it'd be the same way
We never thought we'd go through anything like this
Now we sit back and pray and say Rest In Peace
All the cuzins got your name tatted behind their neck
Some on their chest and back, arm just to show respect
You're always on our mind everyday and every night
We miss you carnal, things just ain't right!
Sometimes I sit at the pad in the living room
Checking out your pictures, listening to some oldies tunes
The ones you liked, the ones you used to bump
Confessing a Feeling, Try Me, and Let's Get It On
Takes me back to the days when you were here
Sometimes I close my eyes and I can hear you real clear
Rest In Peace in the heavens up above
Those you left behind from us got nothing but love
Simon carnal, that's how it is, of you being missed
Now all we have are the firme memories
We used to share in the days when you were here with us
Now another firme brother and a son is lost
I know we'll see each other cuz we'll be there some day
Rest In Peace carnal, for you we all pray!

No wonder this family is broken, none of you know enough to keep the anger in check. Does it really matter who loved this person more? Who took care of him better? He still ended up dead! None of you could save him. None of you can change what is. He is dead no longer here and yet not one of you can let it go? From the looks of it none of you should have had the pleasure of loving his man. None of you deserve to have an out let that lets you hate one another on such a public blog. I'm sure Daniel of he could would tell each of you enough! What are you trying to show each other? At some point we are all going to met our maker and do you really want God or what ever you believe in to pull out these messages and ask you to defend them? Again what difference does it make who abused this man more as a child and who lead him down the wrong street when at the last moment of his life NOT one of you was around to hold his hand? I was there during my child's birth and 11 years latter when she died from a car accident (my car was hit by a drunk driver) to be there for her and walk her through her death was more remarkable for me and was such a gift that I was given. The last chance to say good bye for now. No one got to do that with Daniel and none of you got to be there for him in the end. So once again what does it matter who loved him more or who took better care of him, when he actually needed someone there for him NO one was? Really you shouldn't be hating on each other you should be asking Daniel for forgiveness.

just sitting here looking at your memorial website remembering the happier days of your life when grandpa and I had you on the weekends and we would take you to riverside to play with little dave and the trips to chuckie cheese and how you would get all execited to go in grandpa's big truck and say pop some wheelies grandma as we went over the speed bumps as i look at your photos of your teen years you seem so sad and my heart is sad that you had such a messed up life with your so called mom not taking care of bussiness like a roof over your head for more than a minute but always had a beer in her hand so sad but that's life in her world so she such look in the mirrior and say to her self was that beer and men worth not providing a home for you so sad you had to be raised that way no wonder you rarely smiled in your photo's but i understand.
The truth hurts
grandma debbie RIP no worries now!!!!!

Well Tia Donna all that I can really say to your comments is damn girl you must really be at a low point in your life so low you must blame me for Danny's death I live in another state how can you say I owed Danny anything I was only his Grand mother like it or not it is what is no more no less I am not bitter but have many Grandchildren to fill my life with to see daily and most of all "NO REGRETS" do you know what REGRET means? You must have many IF you had given Danny his car back instead of hold it for ransom he would'nt have been walking Now than as I said before "I HAVE NO REGRETS" or guilt but I know you have more than enough to go around.I hope that someday you can forgive yourself guilt can really bring you down ask Linda she must know anyway I must now close for now but remember this ask your self this is a hole and a pole the way to go?
