Daniel.

I have to say that the funeral service was beautifully done.

His friends wanted and did carry the coffin, a site that touched so many hearts. Friends and family gave readings and their thoughts straight from the heart.

Unfortunately the CD with the music on wouldn't work but I really believe this was fate as in its place a song composed for Dan by one of his friends was played and it was amazing and so heart rending but told the story of a deep friendship that can reach beyond the grave.

Then afterwards we all went up to rovers who allowed his friends to release 19 blue and white balloons for every year of his life from the pitch side, whilst the rest of us cheered for Danny inside as they were released!

All the family were amazing from Janette to Mez and of course Jordan who was watching out for his mum the whole time

Thank you for allowing me to share in this sad but very thought provoking and loving time

Fuerals can be wonderful.

A wonderful way to celebrate someone's lfe, instead of mourn it, and that's what you did for Daniel.

It really was a wonderful service and it was abundantly clear from the tributes spoken what a lovely lad Dan was. Speaks volumes to me that you have every reason to be proud of the way he lived his life and the profound effect he had on others xxx

I haven't stopped thinking about this funeral since Monday. I never met Daniel; our little ladies group went in support of Mez and Nette. I certainly felt that I knew him by the end of the ceremony. The anecdotes and dedications by his friends and family were amazing ... there was even clapping in the crematorium for these sincere delivered eulogies .. well deserved it was.

Bless you and your family Mez ... you are stars in our society ... love you. xx

I did try to get a couple of photos of the balloons going up ... what a lovely moment. Don't feel inappropriate to put them up either; just sorry due to the fading light at dusk and the reflection on the glass not very good, but if you open them, you can join in the moment.





Hope all our members will spend a minute or two reflecting on this young man's life and anyone that suffers fatal cancers.
