Feb 15th marked the 11 year anniversary of my little brother leaving this world. He died in a car accident on the way to a tennis tournament when I was just 12 years old. Him leaving us was very hard. He was my best friend and I didn't know how I would survive without him. We did everything together. From playing tennis, sneaking into each others room to sleep at night and talking endless hours about everything. He truly was my best friend.It is so weird to think that Danny would be 21 years old and probably be returning home from a mission soon. He was such a sweet boy, who was loved by everyone around him. Before he died he talked a lot about our family always spending time together. All he wanted was for my parents to move their business up from Cali to Utah. Within a month of them moving the business here Danny left this world. I think he knew that his time was about to end. He was to good for this world.
As much as I miss my little brother I know that this was Heavenly Fathers plan. So many blessings have come from Danny leaving us. I know that my testimony has been strengthened and it definitely brought me closer to my family. I am so excited to see Danny again. I know he is in Heaven looking down upon me and taking care of me. I love and miss you Danny Sperry!!!!

Wow Tiff what a personal thing to share. I'm so glad that you posted a picture so that we can see how cute he was. Thanks for sharing.
Oh he was such a cute little guy. This was a sweet post, you are a strong girl! Lucky for you, he was there to be with your baby girl telling her all the things about you and getting her ready to make you the happiest mommy in the world. What a wonderful plan...
Thanks for sharing Tiff...I know that is very personal. I still remember that time very well. I feel lucky to have known him...he was such a wonderful person to be around.
Wow- you just never know what people have been through! It sounds like it has been hard, but brought you closer to the Lord and your family!
I wanted to give you the info about my shower. It's feb 28th 6:30-8:00 at Carla Martell (my mom's house) RSVP her at 623-9101 for the address- (I don't really want to post it online) or call Diane 651-4500. I am having a girl and registered at Babies R Us. Diane said she would call the people who she doesn't think will look at the blog. This is probably really tacky- but oh well! Thanks!
I miss him too! I still remember the day vividly when I found out. He was such a cute little boy and a joy to be around. Those who knew him were lucky! You are awesome Tiff and I love you and you're entire family.
As weird as it sounds, I remember that day! The rumor was that Mike was killed, too, and so many people were just traumatized by it all! We're so glad that Mike was just fine and we're even more glad that we have the gospel to give us hope in Eternal Families!!!
Let me know if you need/want anything. I'm morally obligated and spiritually obligated to serve you in ANY and EVERY way. Don't hesitate!!!
Thank heaven for VTs, eh? :)
My baby shower is CANCELED. Okay- I guess I should exlplain why... One of my Mom's best friends is dying of cancer and she has been ready to hop on a flight whenever she needs to. Well, this is probably her last week so my Mom is leaving on Sunday. I'm being induced on March 5th so we can't push it back. My mom and sister really want to something like a month after the baby is born- SO until then... Thanks for posting it for me anyway- I appreciate it
what a cute little guy!! I am glad that you have such great memories and the knowledge that Famlies ARE FOREVER!!
