It's been such a long time since I have written, but NOT ONE DAY goes by that you and your entire family are not thought of or prayed for! Life goes on....but it sure is nice to think of you and smile :) I am one of those people with a keen memory and so I hope you are going to celebrate a very fun birthday in Oct. and one for Wyatt too! Birthday's in Heaven must be really cool! Thanks for the memories bud!

Danny Boy,
Your little one is growing up so fast and is such a happy kid. He's a crack up, telling all kinds of stories...like someone else I know... I think it's about time for him to start swimming so he'll be ready to surf next summer. Miss you buddy.

Hi Danny,

I saw your Dad today and he was busy at work. I just want to let you know I am really missing you and so is Richie.
We love you with all our hearts.

I wear a sweatshirt with your name on it. I wear it with pride, proud to have your name on my back, you died for your community, I owe you, my neighbors owe you. I did not know you, but I will one day. You are an inspiration to me, and to my closest friends. You are the reason I have applied to be an officer. I graduate in June, and will serve in your honor, along with the honor of my great, great grandfather who died in the line of duty. #1091, you are not forgotten.

Hey Dan,

I just found out they found the kid guilty who shot you. I wanted to stop by to say hi because it has been so long since I left a message. Sorry it took so long. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers. The short time I knew you you always were happy and fair to everyone. I will pass that on in my career in law enforcement.

Gaono was found guilty today! Although I was hired after you had been taken from us, I feel like you are apart of me each time I put on the uniform. OPD has not forgotten about you. I'll see you up there some day....but not yet!

Happy Easter! I have been trying to do everything double for you this year...I got up EXTRA early for sunrise service, I ate like 8 helpings of brunch (4 for me and 4 for you) and I even took 2 naps this afternoon. It's been hard work...miss you buddy, I have 4 days off that I would love to spend on very important activities like driving to Tecate with you for tortas and coke in a bottle.

Hey Danny,

I think about leaving something on here everytime I come here, but I never seem to have the right words... Just wanted to say that you haven't been forgotten and you and your family are thought of often.

Rest in Peace.

Hey Danny... it's been so long since I've left any thoughts here... but I think about you and Tony every single day... I still can't believe you aren't here and although I try to think about some of the fun moments we shared, it just hurts! But, I know what you'd say to me, suck it up and move along... just remember, don't let it keep you from living and laughing and finding the good in life...

I was having lunch with a friend the other day... I hadn't seen her in years and she lost her twin sister a while back... she told me when her sister was dying she told her, "Pay attention... there are no coincidences"... when she said that it made me think of some of the times that I thought about you at the oddest times... now, I pay attention...

I miss you... we all miss you... thanks for watching over us and always being there, it's just like you! xoxo

They just buried 4 brothers in blue from Oakland and I could not help thinking of you waiting at the gates to welcome them aboard. I'll bet you had them laughing within 10 seconds with one of your Larry the cable guy impressions. Still thinking of you more than I would have imagined a couple of years ago.

Danny Boy,
I thought about calling you for enchiladas and cervezas last night, but then I thought I had better not bother that creepy lady who has your phone number now. We had a good time with friends and some laughter, so hard we cried, just a little. That's what I miss the most. That and going out surfing just to hang out and justify Juanita's rolled tacos afterwards...don't worry, Richie and I are still doing that. Miss you buddy.

Just ran into Pastor Steve Danny and we were remembering you. Sgt. Browning just fininshed his last week of work lastnight and you could tell he was ready. We lost a good man 12-20-06 and we lost a good leader lastnight, one we can all aspire to be like. I truly believe your death as well as Tony's took a toll on Rich and he is ready to hang it up and relish in the great memories of you two as well as others. Watch over hom and all of us as we venture beyond the day....Love you bro, and have a J&C (diet) for us....

It's because of officers like you that I even wanted to be involved in law enforcement. Life has thrown a few curve balls for now so I will do our country and your memory proud by serving on a much larger scale for the next few years. You are a constant reminder to me to always push harder, go faster and never give up.

Danny,
Yesterday Richie and Renee brought baby Danny by to see his Great Grandparents. Grandma said "he sure is a handsome dude!" We are all in awe every time we see him. Danny we are missing you so much, but we do know that you are here with all of us. Not a day goes by that we are not missing you and thinking about you. With all our hearts we "Love You and always have and always will!"

Love, Zoe
