Although Daniel's life was short, it was filled with great meaning and purpose. He was a living example of God's perfect mercy, compassion and grace. Daniel was so brave and strong. His family will treasure the precious memories of his 15 days on earth. He taught us how precious every life is. Daniel was the polar opposite of 'incompatible with life.' We are so thankful that God chose us to be his family.
So many supported us on our journey, it would be impossible to thank them all by name. Please know your names are written on our hearts and words cannot express the depth of our gratitude. We believe God hand picked the people who cared for our family at community hospital in Munster, Indiana. They loved our 'little man' for the beautiful individual he was. They treated him with dignity and respect. We are honored to have known them.
Daniel and the Lion’s Den
The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den. And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
Daniel 6:23
