Dani you gave my brother so much purpose. He loved you with his whole being. And I know you loved him back just as much. Your passing has been hard in every corner of both sides of the family. I pray for everyone to find comfort during this hard time. I find comfort knowing you are no longer hurting. No matter what we do in our lives no one deserves to be taken so soon. Please watch out for my brother and your precious littles. I hope you find peace and comfort in the beautiful gates of heaven dear! Rip
