Personal note from Shannon

Some of you have already read this, but I wanted to share it here as well as an expression of my gratitude to everyone who joined us on Sunday and Monday.

words cannot possibly express my gratitude to everyone who attended daniel's services on sunday and monday. from flying across the country to attend, to fighting LA traffic to the museum on sunday, to driving long distances in the rain to be with us during his short service on monday... i cannot possibly tell you what it means to us that you took the time and effort to remember daniel with us, supporting us during a day that we had all hoped would not come for many, many more years. i also truly appreciate those who took time out of their day, whether that day or since, to watch the livestream. (here is the link to that, by the way, though there's a missing segment that should be updated soon. https://vimeo.com/636793799/5…)

i can assure you i will never, EVER forget the kindnesses i and our family have been shown not only by your attendance, but all the support you provided beforehand, and continue to provide.

i will leave it there, because words honestly do fail when it comes to describing how much this all means to me, and to our family.
