Kellie - Love and light. So thankful y’all have been in our life. Constantly thinking of all of you. Here with you now and tomorrow, and next week, and next month, and next year, and so forth....

Ethan and I are continuing to pray for you all during this time. Know that you are in the hearts and on the minds of so many.

Kelly - my heart goes out to you and all of Dan's loved ones at this difficult time. May you feel the warmth and support of God's grace. God Bless, Maria

Dan is one of the good guys. I knew him mostly in elementary, middle, and high school. One of my favorite memories, because now that I am a grown up with a little boy of my own, I appreciate the cuteness and ingenuity is as follows:

When we were all at Watts Middle School, Danny came to school with his hair looking cool and a bit more spikey than usual. He looked pretty cool. Some of his friends were playing by touching his hair and asked how he got it that way. He said he used Crisco instead of hair gel, because he was out of hair gel. Total awesomeness! He faced a problem in a creative, forthright, and positive way. Dan has impacted many lives, most of all his family, but also so many students and their families. I feel honored and humbled to be able to smile and say, "I knew him when..." I also admit that the latest journal entry hit me very hard. Heart ache hard. Ugly crying but not in a funny way. I am heartbroken for Dan and his whole family. I am inspired by his resilliance and fighting spirit. I send prayers, love, and support to his family and to Dan. I haven't seen him in person in years, but his impact in my life is that strong. I am in awe and salute you, Dan. Please message me on fb with a way to help.

Kellie and Dan,

I don’t know you personally, but yet I know you through Felice and Jordan. I am so sad to read about your turn of events and pray for you both and your family. Your courage, perseverance and strength have been inspirational to so many people. Prayers and hope are with you.

Kellie and Dan!
You are in our families prayers daily. Sending love, hugs and strength.

Anna, Caleb, Ella, Lucy & Will Clarke
