Uncle Daniel was always a person I could always look up to. Always kind, soft spoken, always spoke of the Lord, how God would help us. look to Him and Daniel always said he would keep us in his prayers.
When we were little kids, Daniel had a Convertable and we loved riding in it to and from Church, Dan gave our mother & us kids rides to and from Church since our dad was not saved at the time and did not attend church. I know I will always miss Dan but will meet him again in Heaven one day. I am even more sick at heart with Dan gone, as I always made a connection to my dad and grandma Minnie with Daniel, now they are both gone. See you soon Uncle
