I was Daniel’s fourth grade teacher at Dr. Jones Elementary. I must say that after spending 30 years as a 4th grade teacher, very few students stand out like Daniel! His smile was infectious and his kindness spilled over to the other students and staff at Dr. Jones. I even have a piece of art he created while at Dr. Jones, framed and hanging in my home. I was saddened to hear of his passing. My deepest condolences to his wife and family.
Dorothy Jones says

Glorious Goldsmith says
Dear Daniel: This is definitely something Mother will not get over. We always ended our conversations saying “I love you “. As always, I know that you knew I loved you. I have no regrets about our relationship or our bond. My regret is that we did not say “Goodnight” when you left. So, Mother will say Goodnight and Goodbye for now. I love you dear love. Rest well

Dear Daniel: DaVion had his first football 🏈 game Saturday. He has Number 34 on his jersey. That Number is his way of honoring you as you were ~34 years of age~upon death. We all were at the game. DeMiyah wanted to visit your place of rest afterwards. So you got a visit. Love you so much. Love always, Mother 🌺

From Your Mother Glorious 🌹To Her Angel Daniel💐 says
Hey My Dear ❤️ Love. Mother is the big 70🎂! Never thought I would see that without you in my life! Nothing is the same without you My Love. Trips, Family Gatherings, nothing. What is Grief! Grief is an emptiness in my heart, chest and stomach that can not be understood or explained. Grief is not having you to hug. Grief is not being able to hear your voice say ~I LOVE YOU MOTHER ~. 😞
This is Mother’s Tearful Day 😭. Missing you ❤️ says
Morning Son: I read something today and it said~~as I try and paraphrase it ~ If God closes a door 🚪, 🛑 STOP banging on it. He closed it for a reason and you may not want to know why. Trust that whatever is on the other side is not meant for you. I thought about it in my not understanding why he took you from me. 😞As of right now I am trying still to understand. One day I hope to understand ~~as I try to gather my thoughts. I have allowed it to consume me.💗 I Love You So Much! I miss you Son. Fly like the Eagle you are. 🦅Love, Your Mother
From Mother💐With Love Always 🌹I miss you! says
Dear Daniel: It is a gloomy day. One of those~in your face~kind of days. It is also Devinas birthday. I know she is wondering what would be going on had you been here. So do I. Son, it is going to continue to be rough for me. Loosing a Child~~such a precious gift~is hard on a Mother. I just can’t comprehend. 💐 I look for strength to cope daily. I love you Son. Love Always, Your Mother 🌺
🌹Your Mother 🌹Here~~ now and forever: says
Hi Daniel. It is October 14, 2023. The 14th always weighs on my heart 💜. It is such a gloomy day and still difficult times😞for me. If only I had more answers to what actually happened as opposed to speculations. Maybe one day. I love you Son🌺💋.Love, Mother
🩸Glorious, Your Mother 💔 says
Dear Daniel: Grief comes in waves. Sometimes I feel like I can ride the wave. Most times I feel as though I am drowning! Now I am drowning again💦💧🌊! 🩸🩸🩸
🌹Mother Missing You🌹 says
Morning My Dear Son: Mother can not sleep. If only I could hear your comforting voice. If I only knew you could hear my voice and my cries. If only~~IF.?💔 So many questions and no answers. I Miss You Soooo Very Much 🩸. 💐I Love You Daniel My Darling ❤️🩹
❤️🩹Mother’s Heart Is Broken 💔 says
Hey My Dear Love. Mother misses you something fierce. I Can’t even explain the feeling. 🌹Today is Thursday, October 26, 2023 Noon. Things are just so melancholy right now that I don’t even know what to do. 💐There’s so many unanswered questions. I just hope that I can begin to cope better. I love you Son and I miss you. 💔Love always, Your Mother
Daniels Mother❤️🩹 says
Dear Son: Mother is here again. I can no longer see you with my eyes, but I feel you in my heart! It is getting cold outside. This is the weather you liked. You know Mother never liked the colder weather~~but just as life, we have to go through different seasons for different reasons. 💦 This is still not something acceptable for me but I must go through it. Missing You still so very much. I ❤️ Love You Daniel. I miss you tremendously. Love Always and Forever, Your Mother, Glorious 💐
🌹From Glorious Goldsmith To Her Son Daniel 🌹 says
Dear Daniel: It is Thursday, November 9, 2023, and I am sitting here watching television. I have so much to say yet as the day passes by I lose my way and find I am lost for words. We took a trip, a family trip, however, it was not the same without you. We had lots of fun, but with every passing minute I am sure one of us thought of you. Your brother was in another world and I know that may be because he misses you. He always tells me “Mother I don’t have anyone to talk to, my brother is gone. I have no one that I can talk to and confide in“. That is difficult for me to hear from him ❤️🩹 because he needs another man to talk to, and not always his Mother. Naturally, I am here for him, but I am not the one he needs to talk to all the time. Laugh out loud. But as you all know, Mother is always available and was always available when my health permitted. I love you and I miss you and I know that everyone misses you. I will close for now and try to get some rest. You keep resting up. I love you. 💐Goodnight.💐 💔Love, Mother.
Daniel, Your Mother Misses You 💐 says
My Son: It is Sunday, November 12, 2023, 7:20 pm. I am, as usual, wishing that I could talk with you. I have gone through mail after mail voicemails trying to find your voice and can not. All I want to do right now is to hear you to see if it cheers me up. The only thing left is to look at television and go to sleep. I can only imagine what it would be like to have you here right now. It is becoming holiday time and that is not a good thing for me anymore. In any case I will try and make the best of it right now.I love you ❤️.Love you always, Mother
🌹I Love You So Much Son 🌹 says
Dear Son: I had another not so good experience this morning. No one will ever ever know the pain and heartache I feel❤️🩹. I am looking for a breakthrough of when I will overcome the trauma and pain I feel with you not being here with me. I am a wounded soul right now 💔.Mother misses you so badly and I can’t even imagine why you are not here anymore! 💐
