On Sept 25th my dad will have been gone for 5 months. It seems just like yesterday we were in the backyard bbqin and laughing because him steak he made had been marinating for 2 days and tasted like a brick of salt, and yes lets say a little bit burned. My dad lived for these kinds of things and that is why I think he wanted to head back to California. He loved the heat, the outdoors and anything that went fast. I am blessed to have had my dad for as long as I did is one way to look at it, and blessed that i still have my mom here with me as well. They are what i look at when it comes to a long marriage. yes everyone knows my dad got away with alot with my mom, but they made it through alot of tough things together and kept our family together. They would have been married 29 years june 10th and my mom is trying her best to make it through all of this and i admire her so much for that. I miss my dad so very much and i hope one day the pain i feel is not this bad, i just have to think positve on life and keep my dad and our memories close to my heart, and repeat them as often as i can to our kids. But in the meantime i continue to miss my old man and always will, life goes on as they say and i have to somehow come to terms with that but i beleive that is still going to take me awile to get to that stage....well to all my family and friends thanks for your support and we all love you very much----

WOW! My dad has been gone almost 5 months and i still miss him so. Its amazing that some people in this lifetime may not experience a loss of a love one and for those who havent your lucky, i never thought in my wildest dreams i would live to see the day i would loose one of my parents. That is a pain i cant explain. I miss him everyday, i think of him every miniute of the day and it just does not seem real. We need to know that life is just to short and unexpected and we should not take life, family or friends for granted. Yes i beleive i will see my dad again but in the meantime i miss him so much and the pain just doesnt seem it will heal fast enough. He was and always will be a great man i loved and adored, and will not be forgotten, his memories will live on for as long as we are here---Love you always POP---your oldest daughter____

I know it has only been a few months since our dad has left us but it still hurts the same. I keep feeling I am just going to see him every morning I wake up. That just maybe he will be having a bbq for his kids, but that is not gonna happen. In all the days since my dad's passing we talk about all the crazy things my dad use to say or do, all we have left of him is our memories some bad but for the most part they are all wonderful memories of my dad that I will cherish deeply for the last day of my life. Life sometimes does not seem fair but I understand that certain things have to happen in this life and most of the time they are going to be things that may hurt but we need to always keep in mind that there is someone up above making sure we dont loose sight of his promise. And now I have no choice but to live each day with this in mind. I miss my dad and always will, but we will be together again---Love your oldest daughter

Each day that has gone by since you left us here has been so hard for us to deal with. You may have not known how much we all loved you while you were here but we loved you so very much, especially your grandboys. I know maybe some of your grandboys might be too young to understand where you are right now but they have hope that they will see you again soon. Your grandson Francisco had a dream (not a nightmare) the other night that a big star was coming down from the sky and all of a sudden grandpa was awake- awake (he watched Chicken Little the night before/ha!) he said and talking to him, he couldnt hear what grandpa was saying but he said he was not scared in his dream that he woke up happy to see his grandpa again.
Tristan can not speak yet but each time he sits down to eat we have a picture of dad in the kitchen and we will ask him where yapa is at (grandpa) and he looks straight and dad's picture. We will never let our kids forget what a wonderful grandfather they had, and how lucky they were to have him here with us for as long as we did. My prayers go out on a daily basis to help my mom, my sister,my brother, grandparents, and all the other family and friends that are hurting from the loss of my dad. The pain I have and am still going through can not be put into words. There are times i wish that they made some kind of safe place to go to where no one could hear what was going on so that maybe I could just let it out emotianally, physically, and mentally. Like the saying goes we never know how much we care about someone until they are no longer here. Today was another hard day, Dad i miss you so very much, it just stil does not seem real to me that you cant be called up on the phone and ask how you are feeling. I miss and love you so very much and I will always keep you close to my heart and my memories, until we meet again POPS-I LOVE YOU!!!

To my Uncle Danny; I will miss you so much, I will never forget the day that I was told you were gone, I did not want to believe it, sometimes I still don't. I love you so much! To my Aunt Natalia & my cousins, I am so sorry for your loss. I am so sorry I could not make it up for Uncle Danny's funeral. I wanted so bad to make it. One thing I will always remember about Uncle Danny was that whenever I would come over he would always come over to me & give me a big hug & kiss. I always looked forward to see Uncle Danny. I know I will see him again. I love you Uncle Dan- Your niece Amber Egan

I know you are no longer here with us but i know you are sleeping soundly and in no pain no more. This has been by far the hardest thing to deal with in my life and I know in my heart it will make me a stronger person in the end but for now I am still hurt and miss my Dad so very much. I thought day by day this would be at least a little easier for me to deal with but i was wrong. It actually has been very hard on me this past week because reality is my dad is no longer on this earth with his family to share in the future things we do and it hurts bad, reality is no more phone calls from my dad, no more hugs and kisses he would give us when we arrived and left my parents house. My faith though is I will see my dad again, maybe not tomorrow but I will and he will no longer be in the pain he was in for sooo long. Every morning since he passed i wake up thinking to myself what is mom and dad cooking for dinner but that is no longer. I am the oldest and i was told by alot of people to be strong for my mom, sister, brother and the rest of family, besides a few break downs in front of mom and my sisiter i have done so, when i get home though i am a wreck and i am very lucky to have my hubby and kids to lean on for support. Plus all the phone calls i get from my family and close friends helps me too. I am praying constantly to help not only myself but my family through these days of greiving. Well my dad knew me well, he new i was the emotional one so i guess everyone just has to deal with it. I can hear him now, quit your whinning Maria! And I would cry anyway!!Love you Always Dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!So Long For Now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been Danny and Natalia's next door neighbor while they have lived on Landau street. It has been my pleasure to have known Danny and been his friend. He was so kind and generous and would have done anything for us. In fact he did many things for us and never ever wanted anything in return..... I kept saying anytime you need help with anything please call but he never did.
I remember a few years back we decided to put hardwood flooring in our home and as usual nothing is ever as easy as it seems. We ran into a problem of course and as we were telling Danny about it he says let me come in and look. After a few minutes he says I'll be right back. Here he came with some drywall stuff and made the floor level for us........We couldn't have done it with out him for sure..... I often teased that I sure wished they owned the house next door instead of renting but Kim wouldn't sell.
It was a rare moment when I was actually washing my car instead of seeing Danny washing his. I must admit I washed my car more often because I couldn't let him have the only clean black vehichle.
Whenever I was outside doing yardwork or cleaning my own car he was always outside ready to chat and willing to help with anything... I remember last year I had a horrible cold and here was Danny wanting me to come over and try out his massage bed and then Natalia was there with a cup of tea for me......I don't know if it helped or not but they were both there trying to make sure I felt better. I am missing him very much already and it just won't be the same without seeing Danny's smiling face as I pull in or out of my driveway. I am blessed to have known Danny and to have had him as a part of my life.
Natalia, Patsy, Maria and Danny: Please do not hesitate to call me for help with anything and I will miss all of your children too.
Love always, Melanie Zassenhaus

I was the oldest daughter of Dan Smith and the last daughter to be married. My dad always thought he would never get me married off fast enough, but thank goodness i proved him wrong on October 22, 2005 in Las Vegas, that was the last family trip I was able to take with my Dad and an unforgettable one at that. My husbund and I were going to redo our wedding vows on August 4th so all my family members could relive that beautiful day with us one more time, I have decided not to do this only because my Dad walked me down the aisle once already and now that he is no longer here with us it just would not feel right to me. Everyone knew my Dad was a great man, and our families will continue forever remembering all the wonderful things he did for not only his family and friends but to complete strangers. He was a wonderful grandpa to his 5 grandkids, and will be missed greatly by them in the years to come. We hope all that were close to him will keep him in there hearts and memories forever.
I would like to thank all of those who have been by our sides since this awful accident happened. First and for most I would like to thank the One and Only Almighty God for helping our family cope with this hard time and we will continue leaning on him for years to come. To my Uncle Dave and Aunt Karen for taking such a heavy load off of our shoulders, and making sure all of us are doing ok, this has made our families so much closer and stronger, thank you very much and we love so very much, to all our family members that flew from all over to be with us, thank you. To our familia Echeverria thank you so much for everything, We love you all. Grandma, Grandpa we love you and we will be here always for you. Abbott family we love you as well, Jeremy thanks for your stories they sure made not only myself but my mom and sister feel good, thanks!, Sean and Erica Johnson thank you for your support, Sean what a wonderful talk, my dad would have been so proud you made me feel so much better. And to my husbund thank you honey so very much for your support to me and my mom. Todd and Sean Hansen my brother in law sis in law for watching our baby. To my jefa, sister, and brother we will make it through all of this, i promise and remember we will see him again---Pops I love you so very much and we will see you again---love your daughter Maria Poulos (Smitty)

Dan was a very special friend and neighbor. Yes, he loved his truck. He aways waved as we passed by and took time to visit with us. He was always working in his yard making it the "Showplace" of the neighborhood. We always knew if we needed anything, he would be right there to help us and anybody else in the neighborhood. We will miss him and his friendship very much.
