Heartbroken without you, It's such hard work keeping our heads above the grief.

Then we remember the precious soul you have strong, gentle, true, loving and your sense of humour 'wow'

Dan never to feel on your own again.

It's a year without you to talk to and hold, to let you know how much you are loved and missed. Dad and I know you did your best to please everyone in your life. Your love and name lives on. We thought memories were being made on our two trips to Australia for you to have of us, never never thinking memories were for us to have of you, and your family.

A year has passed now. The happiest time of the year is now one of the saddest but we'll do our best to celebrate Christmas how we always used to - at Mum and Dad's!! Thinking of you always. Lots of love from Justine, Josie and Dexter xxxx

Dan, its been a year since you left our world and it gets harder and harder without you..I wish you could come home just for a day where we could all hug you and tell you how much you're missed in every way. You're with us all the time in our thoughts and memories. I love you Dan and I can't wait for the day we are together again. Rest in peace darling, all my love, Sylvi xxxxxxx

Dan. 10th Dec, one year on and the pain is no easier mate. You have left a big hole that no one could ever fill. I cherish daily the memories you have left me with. I spent weds morning playing spec ops ranger elite on my own for the 1st time, no buddy to back me up. I did laugh last week, on my 22nd you brought me a pair of massive woolen socks in case we ever had really bad snow, 14 years later they came in useful mate "thanks" kept me warm. Dan miss you so much, just wish I could pick up the phone and talk to you and laugh about stupid stuff.... but will make do with the memories instead. Love you mate. Your best man forever, Luke xx.

It is not getting any easier babe, but then you know all about that.

I look at dad and hear your sense of humour, I look at Mitchell (my eldest) and see your height, slouching down on a chair, I look at Tyler (my youngest) and your face is staring back at me. I hear mum, Juss and me chatting together as a close family does and know this was what you lived for babe. I watch a white feather float right in front of me and know your near.

I hear, see and sense so much of you around me Daniel but what I would give to actually have you HERE. I carry you in my heart and soul Daniel and know that you will always be loved and never forgotten. Till we meet again, your 'big sis' forever, Cath xxxxxx
