We are all in Mom's hospital room spending time with her. She isn't able to talk much and it's difficult for her to keep her eyes open for any length of time. She is responding to our voices, however, and can nod for yes or no questions. We know that there is little time left as her kidney function is worsening.
Mom's mother, Coral, and her two sisters, Cindy and Wendy, are coming this evening from Illinois. We hope to have a good day of family time with them tomorrow. Thanks for your continued prayers.
The above picture was taken two weeks ago at Kim's wedding.

I can't begin to tell you what a beautiful and touching tribute you have done to and for your mother in this most difficult time. It has been incredible to be able to keep up to date on her condition, to know how and what to pray for each time you make an entry...Your mother is an amazing lady, and you are a most amazing family! The song verse you shared was very touching and fitting! I wanted to share with you two other song titles (that perhaps you already know), but are particularly touching and uplifting through the storms of life, particularly the one you are facing. They are "Praise You In This Storm" by Casting Crowns, and "All My Praise" by Selah. I hope if you get a chance to hear them, they will help you through. God bless all of you.

what a gorgeous picture of your mother. I think she is looking towards heaven!
Dear Doctor Daniels and Family, The picture you just added of your wife is really beautiful. How wonderful to have taken it right when she is looking up. Please let her know that she is a beautiful lady and that you and her and your family are so inspirational to all. Thank your daughter for making this web site and sharing Anita and your family with us.
I think it helps us to remember what is really important in life. Remember that there are angels all around you. Love, Cheryl, Delbert, and Halli Winterhof
A beautiful picture of Anita. Am so glad she was able to enjoy the wedding. Our thoughts are with you all. Larry and Joleen Peters
Your mom looks absolutely glowing in the wedding picture. Our prayers are with all of you at this time. As your mom said, "The angels are coming". They will take care of her and all of you. Love, Donna and Duane
A long time ago, Carrie, you shared with me the verse from Ecclesiates 3: The Time verse.
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose underheaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to pluck that which has been planted. A time to weep and a time to laugh. A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together. A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing. A time to speak and a time of silence. A time to love and a time to heal.
This your family's time.
There are many of us who are thinking and praying for you all.
In time,
Paula
Dear Daniels family,
I just visited your mom at the hospital this morning and she is still a beautiful, gracious lady. You are all in our prayers at this difficult time, but God will be with all of you. Love, Donna
What a beautiful picture!! Our continued prayers are with each and every one of you. God be with you all. Erica Boettcher and family
I am not sure if you all are reading these amazing comments to Anita or simply enjoying them for yourselves, but just in case she gets to hear the richness of all these friends and family members' words. . .
Sweet Anita,
It is true, as everyone has already said, you are absolutely radiating with the life and joy of the Lord in that picture taken at Kim's wedding. Isn't our Father amazing?! To indwell us with his very Spirit, so we may be an embodiment of his lavish love. You truly are a treasure - a beautiful testimony of Christ's grace, love, and peace. I have really been blessed and inspired by who you are as I have heard many noble things about you and your family through the Jipp family and as I too have spent a little quality time in your presence at Oakdale or at your house for those fantastic New Years' Eve parties :) The Lord is indeed with you, and I am so thankful to have witnessed his work in your life and in the life of your family, especially during these last few months. You are a woman of noble character whose worth is far more than rubies. You are a woman of excellence in the Lord whom I admire and hope to emulate in many things.
Hope and the ministry of the Spirit be with you all.
Love
Amber (and Josh) Jipp
That is a wonderful picture of Anita. I am reading the blog for the first time and want you to know I am thinking of you. Kim, congratulations on your wedding - you looked gorgeous. I am glad your family is all together. May you find comfort in this difficult time.
This picture is absolutely priceless!! What a comfort to see her so serene and beautiful!! She is so at peace!!
Ken and Janet
What a gift it is for you all to have had such a wonderful celebration with your mother, wife, and friend in these final days. God grants us these gifts to help comfort us and remind us that he loves us. God Bless you and keep you until we all get home.

Daniels Family,
My heart goes out to all of you. Please tell Anita that I have always admired her love for her children. She is truly a remarkable person.

What a beautiful picture of you, Anita. You are beautiful inside and out! We are praying continually for you and your family.
All this is beyond our understanding but, thankfully, we can trust that God is good - all the time.
Praying for you all,
Glee and Dave Crippin
It is obvious the Christian love the Danials family hold close to their hearts. You show with your strength during this time that God is with you always and will never allow you to be alone. Anita, you have touched so many lives. Thank you for allowing your family to share this beautiful tribute with us. You are in our prayers.
God bless the Danials family.
Harv & Marian
