Your precious smile will never fade from my memory. Your sweet demeanor will never slip away from my recollection of you. Every year that went by I mourned the loss of our connection and knew how foolish I was to have never taken the time to tell you that loosing you was the very worst part of walking away. You were never a step-son but my son from the moment I first held you. Please forgive me. I’ll never be okay.
I didn’t know Dan that well. I had him for a class. He was a sweet, kind, thoughtful, and caring person. He was quite bright and insightful. We went on an unforgettable camping trip together with the class and he made it even better. He will be missed. ❤️❤️❤️
I used to take danny to school and to work when we worked together, we’d always hangout at work or in between school and work. He always had a joke to crack or something out of pocket to make everyone smile with him, he was just always so sweet and friendly. We love you Danny, and to the Miller family, I truly am sorry for your loss. Rest In Paradise my friend❤️
I can’t believe he’s gone. He was the nicest kid. I had him in Biology, and then I was glad to have him back in Chemistry last year. The world will be a little less bright without you, Dan. Rest in peace. My condolences to the family–sending prayers for you.
