Daniela A. Cortez

Beautiful girl! The pictures talk for themselves. Always in a great mood, happy, joyful.

What a beautiful tribute to a treasure of a human being! I am SO glad we got to be friends and danced, and laughed, and admired the beauty of life and the little things. Your cheerful and giving nature set a perfect example for us all. (**P.S. I want to let you know I made delicious chocolate cupcakes with homemade pink peppermint icing and a big red heart on top, for Valentine's and gave them out to friends, family, and to those that needed a little extra love. I thought of you when I made them!) May your light always shine bright through us in our actions and in our intentions and may God continue to hold you in His loving embrace. May your memory be eternal, sweet Daniela!

Fly high sweet girl.

Thinking of Daniela and Rachel and Sophia. Love you all.

Thanks to Bernhard for giving us this wonderful view to share the awesome spirit of Daniela. I am very grateful to have shared so many fun, creative, and loving moments with Daniela. We spent many hours where she did her art, songs, dance, and of course eating. The time spent playing dress up, the tea parties, the doll playing all made for wonderful moments together. She did an awesome Michael Jackson Moon Dance. The rap song she and Sophia created making fun of Oma's new wig and their mullets I thankfully videotaped. We were all so fortunate to enjoy her warmth, humor, and often right on take on life. I miss her so but am so thankful for those many wonderful moments together. All my Love, Oma

As her "2nd mom", I miss her terribly, too. I can't imagine how deeply you are hurting & missing her. I was just looking at some of her pictures & remembering the good times we had together. I love you Dani. Nada sera igual sin ti mi amor.

Dear Dani, Seeing your laugh, smile and kindness in these pictures brought tears on my eyes, I cant express and imagine how your Mom & Dad feel...I am a parent, that''s the reason I can't give them comfort, there's nothing out there that minimizes the pain. I would have loved to see you grow though. I always remember you using the microphone saying "vale vxxxx" laughing soooo hard ....that laugh of yours!! Q Dios te tenga a su lado iluminando a tus padres y a todos que te quieren mucho.

What a beautiful dedication for my beautiful cousin. I think about and have her in my heart every day. Thank you for this site, thank you so much

Words cannot express the sadness and emptiness that is in my heart everyday. Her absense is felt everywhere I go. I hope my words can express how thankful I am for Bernhard in creating such beautiful site in memory of my beautiful child.

I miss my beautiful niece so much everyday that I live with chronic heartache. Thank you for creating this site for her - it captures her amazing spirit which will never be forgotten but always painfully missed.
