Memories
Remembering having Daniel and Heather visit us in Florida and we were out boating. Daniel was trying to help us rope the boat onto the dock and tried to grab the piling. The waves pushed the boat away and he decided to wrap his arms around the wooden piling. Needless to say, the boat went one way and Daniel was wrapped around the piling holding on for dear life. Barnacles scraped him up but we all had a good laugh. Daniel will be missed and always loved. Lela Derish
