Danielle Michelle Coats

Danielle Michelle Coats began her journey in life on July 21, 1986. Danielle was the oldest of five children. She was a beautiful and caring child and always putting others first. As a little girl she would never want to eat her food until she knew everyone else was full. She would crawl into her younger brothers crib and try to feed him and take care of him. Danielle was always trying to be a mommy and take care of everyone else. As Danielle grew older things did not change much. If you needed her, truly needed her, she was always there. She was always the person you just wanted to be around. She was simply beautiful and when she smiled it was magnetic and you just had to smile back. When Danielle had her son Tony it was the happiest she had ever been. Danielle finally had someone of her own to take care of and love unconditionally with that love in return. Tony loved to be with his mom and never had time for anyone else when she was there. Three years ago Danielle lost her brother Curtis and it shattered her whole life. After losing Curtis it was hard for her to get close to people and love them. For the past couple of years she put on a brave face to cover up that pain. We believe she wanted to be with her brother again and the only thing keeping her from it was her son and siblings. Tragically at the age of 23 Danielle was taken from us. But we know that she is in heaven rejoicing her life with her brother Curtis and Nanny. She is truly loved and will stay alive in our heart and memories.
