Daniel Scott Baker - so handsome, full-of-spunk, goodness and kindness. He loved his job - serving his country and community! He loved his family dearly. He was so young. Full of life. And, taken away so senselessly. :(

It is true ... Grief is the price we pay for love. I love Daniel dearly. Life is so different -difficult- without him. I try to focus on how wonderfully lucky I am to be his mother - how God directed my path to him. I reflect on great memories, talk to Daniel often - and I do feel he is always near. His smile and personality lives on in his sweet daughter, Meredith - I can’t hug her enough...She is such a joy...I love her and her sweet momma so much!! All while missing my sweet boy...how I wish every day to wake from this horrific nightmare! #95YouShouldBeHere #BakerStrong
