Dani was born September 10, 1985 in Calgary, Alberta. She was the apple of her parents' eye and gave us all great joy through the years, with her smile and sense of humour. Dani loved to laugh and when she did, everyone laughed with her. Dani moved to Vancouver with her father and brother George, when she was 5 years old. There she attended school and made many new friends. She still maintained relations with friends and family through frequent visits and phone calls. Although Dani is gone, she will be sadly missed by her family and friends. We miss you Dani.
My Promise to Myself
I've learnt my lesson by playing the games.
I'll love my friends but leave the drugs.
I'll remember the law and forget the crime.
I'll live to impress myself and not others, being the true
person I am and not the person my friends want me to be.
I'll make sure my friends like me for being me and if they
don't they're not my friends.
I'll remember everything taught and everything I learn.
I'll always remember the great things friends will ever tell me.
Do good and more good will come back to me, do more bad and
more bad will come back to me.
All my life I lived to impress my friends and today I have
realized that it has gotten me where I am today -
no where but a locked cell at Y.C.C.
So by keeping these promises they'll get me where I want
in life.
Like being that somebody who I want to be, that somebody
Living large, that somebody being me.

I wonder what you'd all be doing today if someone else hadn't taken your life away?
Joanne's dream to become a lawyer just may have come true. She was sweet, pretty and full of determination too.
Drake: Such a handsome little boy, rarely would be asking for the new, latest toy.
He was his mother's little man and brought her so much joy.
Dani: A young beautiful girl. Her bright eyes and smile could have conquered the world. Maybe she'd be checking out boys at the pool hall or maybe just hanging out with her friends at the mall.
We'll never really know, for these young people with so much promise, are now gone forever.
Forever loved and missed
Mom, Dad and family
Wishes for a Drunk Driver
May you remember forever the night that you chose to drink and drive.
May you always see their eyes and know you took their lives away.
May the screeching tires and the sounds of the crash,
Forever play in your mind like a big bass drum.
May the smell of death surround you wherever you go and
May other people sense it so they too will know,
That you killed someone out there, while driving drunk on the road.
May it haunt your dreams at night and fill your days with regret and fright.
May your jail time be very long, in hopes that you'll realize what you did wrong.
For others my wishes are not this cold, But how many times do you have to be told?
Drinking and Driving Kills
