View all 18 ReflectionsHey Dad! Thinking of you and Mom today. I was 10 when you passed; 41 at Mom’s passing. You both left too early.
You’d both be proud to know that your grandkids are smart, strong and handsome. Taylor is on course to becoming a TACP in the USAF. Ethan is in middle school. Both are phenomenal wrestlers.
Always on my mind. Love seeing the reflections that others leave. You are not forgotten! We are fortunate to have had a good surrogate in your place. He’s done well for all of us. We are blessed. Love you.
Son, Stephen J. (Taylor) Daniels
