I miss ya kiddo! -Lyrna Lyrna Schoon Bloomington, IN USA - June 21, 2008 -- 11:35:46 am -- (EDT) Danielle- On your birthday, I am reminded of your smile and your joy for life. You come into my dreams at night from time to time and we smile and laugh. This poem reminded me of you-- it is by one of my favorite poets Mary Oliver and it is meant especially for your Mom and your sister, on this 35th birthday evening: Messenger My work is loving the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird-- equal seekers of sweetness. Here the quickening yeast; there the blue plums. Here the clam deep in the speckled sand. Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? Am I no longer young, and still not half perfect? Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work, which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished. The phoebe, the delphinium. The sheep in the pasture, and the pasture. Which is mostly rejoicing, since all the ingredients are here, which is gratitude, to be given a mind and a heart and these body-clothes, a mouth with which to give shouts of joy to the moth and the wren, to the sleepy dug-up clam, telling them all, over and over, how it is that we live forever. Much love to Danielle and to you all. Christina Manning cemanning2005@yahoo.com Troy, NY USA - June 21, 2008 -- 10:32:01 am -- (EDT) Happy Birthday Danielle A Friend Chicago, IL USA - June 21, 2008 -- 9:26:17 am -- (EDT) Just wanted to let you know the CUBS beat the White Sox today in honor of your birthday. HAPPY 35th BIRTHDAY DANIELLE! Miss you, A Chicago friend USA - June 21, 2008 -- 9:24:00 am -- (EDT) D - Happy Birthday to you, roomie. Know that I think of you often, and know that your spirit helped me get through my own personal battle. Hard to believe it's been 6 years since you've been gone, and that I will hit my 5-year "clean bill of health" in only a few months. I will say a special thank you to you on that day. P.S. The Cubbies won today. :) (I'm still a StL fan, though) Sarah sarahwags@hotmail.com Chicago, IL USA - June 21, 2008 -- 6:13:27 am -- (EDT) Bubbula!! Happy Birthday to ya! Happy Birthday to ya! Happy Birrrrrthday! I find it a fitting tribute that all of your loved ones with kids look for the Danielle in their children. I too find myself looking for Danielle-esc traits in my Max and introducing him to many of the things you loved, ie: mint ice cream is his favorite, muppets reruns, and the Cubbies! Your force lives on in them young Jedi! I love you and miss you. My best to the Drumke tribe. Kat Katfotovat@aol.com Bethesda, MD USA - June 21, 2008 -- 3:23:28 am -- (EDT) Happy Birthday, Danielle! Would it blow your mind to know I have two little sons now? My 8-month old Graham may be following in your footsteps -- he loves banging his drumsticks -- and Nate (2.5 years old) reminds me of you too, singing all the time. But his repertoire is more like Frere Jacques and Itsy Bitsy Spider. But who knows, perhaps he will have your taste in music someday. I hope so. Love you always. Suzanne Klonis sklonis@gmail.com Asheville, NC USA - June 20, 2008 -- 8:48:08 am -- (EDT) Danielle, It is hard to believe six years have past since you left us. I followed this website when you started fighting cancer and read it frequently. I don't know why but I have never signed the guest book, but now I do. I still think of you often, especially when I need to remind myself to live each day to its fullest and to try to improve myself and the world around us. You remain an inspiration to me, just as you were when we were at Smith. I loved how you drew people around you and made them all feel like the most special person on the planet. Thank you for being you and showing me that life is too short to waste it doing things that are not precious and meaningful. I'm not religious, but I am very moved by your family and their faith. To them, I say thank you for continuing to share their lives and special events and how your absence pains them still. Maureen maumitch@yahoo.com Seattle, WA USA - June 19, 2008 -- 10:34:55 am -- (EDT) i've been thinking of you for the past few days. you'll never be forgotten. a friend USA - June 18, 2008 -- 5:05:55 am -- (EDT) In memory of Danielle on the sixth anniversary of the day she died. Remember Me by Lyn Bryant Remember me in quiet days when raindrops whisper on your pane, but in your memories have not grief, let just the joy we knew remain. Remember me when evening stars look down on you with steadfast eyes; and when your thoughts do turn to me, know that I would not have you cry; but live for me and laugh for me-when you are happy, so am I. Remember an old joke we shared; remember me when you're glad, and while you live, I shall not die. Danielle you will never be forgotten. Mom USA - June 16, 2008 -- 7:44:28 am -- (EDT) Hi Danielle! I thought of you again. :) I have this great photo of us at Kathy's wedding sitting in a fuzzy purple frame. Anyway, it always makes me smile. Missing you! Lyrna Schoon Bloomington, IN USA - June 02, 2008 -- 1:03:38 am -- (EDT) This is the most amazing website; so full of love and joy and wonder. I think I've read every word, looked at every picture, but I keep coming back. I never knew Danielle, happened upon the site completely by chance, but I wish I had known her. Her courage and grace during her journey through cancer are a great inspiration. ann an.mcgregor@rcn.com Chicago, IL USA - May 29, 2008 -- 2:21:58 am -- (EDT) Remembering you on this Memorial Day. Your special friend CA USA - May 26, 2008 -- 11:33:43 am -- (EDT) I was so upset when I learned belatedly what you'd gone through. You remain in my thoughts. Especially now that I have a friend in the early stages of a fierce battle with cancer. I wish we could have been better friends. Your mom's messages are so powerful. Peace. A Friend MA USA - May 26, 2008 -- 7:59:19 am -- (EDT) Thinking of you today and always. Miss you. A friend from Chicago USA - May 24, 2008 -- 10:41:07 am -- (EDT) Today is a beautiful sunny day and it reminded me of your beautiful smile. Mom USA - May 16, 2008 -- 8:39:14 am -- (EDT) I am remembering the last Mother's Day that we were together six years ago. I miss hearing you say Happy Mother's Day Mom. Love you. Mom USA - May 11, 2008 -- 11:51:11 am -- (EDT) Very good site Very good site admin@reghopelus.ua NY, California NY - May 03, 2008 -- 8:17:32 am -- (EDT) Danielle touched many more lives than you will ever know.I was Danielle's Page School roommate. She always made us laugh and smile, and truly had a warm heart. I will always remember how she wore her uniform with a bow tie, had a creative perspective on life and decorated our room with little chilli pepper lights. Time had faded our contact, but her impression will always last with me. All my best to her family and friends. She was a truly special person that will be surely missed. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Michelle F. Michelle Ferenchick ferenchick@aol.com Northborough, MA USA - April 27, 2008 -- 4:42:40 am -- (EDT) You were missed tonight at the Seder. Dylan was able to read the four questions all by himself, you would have been so proud of him. We added something new this year, finger puppets and lots of frogs. Dylan, Kayla, Matty and Max played together all evening it was so much fun to watch then, you would have loved playing with them. It is hard to have the family come together on one of you favorite holidays and not have you with us. We all miss you. Mom USA - April 20, 2008 -- 12:04:15 pm -- (EDT) Today I have started to prepare for the Passover Seder and I am remembering the last seder that I made for you at the Zen Hospice. You enjoyed telling everyone about all the seders that you attended growing up. I loved cooking all of your favorite foods and watching you enjoy them. How I wish that you could be with us to celebrate this special holiday with the family. We will have you with us in sprite. I miss you. Love you forever. Mom USA - April 16, 2008 -- 12:47:00 pm -- (EDT) Hello! I enjoyed looking around Your web-site! Keep up this great resourse! With the best regards! Kelly thisfuturez@gmail.com NY, NY US - April 14, 2008 -- 1:33:38 am -- (EDT) Bubbula! I am thinking of you and thinking of the time you cleaned my room for me, did all my laundry, and bought me some mint choco-chip ice cream because I was having a rough time during Americorps. As smelly as we all were during those days it is a true testament that friends like you are a once in a life time kinda thing. I miss you. Spring is finally here in DC and Max is loving it! He can almost put together the Piggy/Kermy puzzle you gave me. Peace Out! Kat Katfotovat@aol.com DC, USA - April 10, 2008 -- 8:18:06 am -- (EDT) I'm home on maternity leave with my daughter thinking of you as a light snow falls...

Mom USA - March 16, 2008 -- 9:08:30 am -- (EDT) It's funny, I think about you everyday and it's so nice to see all of these people doing the same. I can't describe how much I miss you. When ever I need a lift I will think of something you did infront of a huge crowd that just had everyone laughing until they fell down. It always amazed me how much courage you had. I know that the memories of you will always get me through the hard times of life. Doug Tisdahl datman310@aol.com Miami, FL USA - March 03, 2008 -- 12:08:32 pm -- (EST) It is snowing again tonight and I am remembering how excited you always got about the first snowfall of the season, hopefully this is the last snowfall for this season. A Chicago Friend USA - February 25, 2008 -- 9:11:47 am -- (EST) I thought about you on Valentine's Day and remembered how excited you were to get Valentine cards and treats. How I wish that you were still here to be able to receive them. I am sending you hugs and lots of love and I hope that you can receive them. Love you forever.
