Daniel was just 16 and had just left school when we found out he had acute mylieod leukemea, he was
going to go to colleage but then had to have 6 months intence chemo, he went into remission in the
christmas 1998, got a job in the march and applied for colleage again and got in but the cancer came
back in the july, couldnt find a bone marrow donar to match, they gave him only weeks to live in the
september, my lad was so strong, he never complained or said why him, he got up everyday and lived
his life to the full as much as possilble, to know that you are going to die at 17 must have been
hell because it was for me, to watch your child suffer and not to be able to make it better for
them. he once said to me that he had lived a full life, he had been to school, had a job and had met
a speical girl what more could he have asked for, he was such a brave lad, i wished it was me so
many times, My son died the 17th march 2000 6 months after they said he had weeks to live, looking
back now as hard as it was that last 6 months we had time to love each other, to tell each other how
much we loved them, to laugh and to cry, i think of daniel every day, i get up on a morning , go to
work, try to have the best life that i can for him because that is what he wanted a life. I know
where ever he his now, he will be happy, playing his drums and driving a beetle car. love you always
danny.
love mum.xx
I used to go to school with Daniel and his sister Becky. Don't think he knew but I had the biggest crush on him and still remember the first time i saw him.. wow!! Haven't forgotten that dreadful day at school hearing the news. U had a huge impact on me even if it was from a distance. Hope ur happy wherever u are and looking after ur family and friends.Sweet dreams Danny and may you rest in peace xxx
8 Years today
If i could hold you close,like you had never gone.
If i could talk to you, i'd tell you to be strong.
If i could get to you, I 'd be there in a minute.
My life dont make no sense, not without you in it.
Sometimes i just cry, I just cant understand why you had to go and leave our world so cold.
Miss you mate x x x

what a dude
This guy was awesome, along with my bro paul, i think we must have covered every inch of morley on foot when were hanging out after school, great memorys, not had many close friends like danny since to be honest. Danny, we're still rippin it up with HIATUS and that korn flag still goes evrywhere with us, its seen most of the UK, loads of studios, etc... You will always be a drivin force to me/paul cos most young bands would have givin up by now , after nearly 10 years of playing, thinking of you puts things into perspective. Peace to the Simpkins.

I'll lend you for a little time
a child of mine he said
for you to love the while he lives
and mourn for when hes dead
it may be six or seven years
or twenty-two or three
but will you, till i call him back
take care of him for me
he'll bring his charms to gladden you
and should his stay be brief
you'll have his lovely memories
as solace for your grief
I cannot promise he will stay
since all from earth return
but there are lessons taught down there
i want this child to learn
ive looked this wide world over
in my search for teachers true
and from the throngs that crowd lifes lanes
i have selected you
now will you give him all your love
not think the labour vain
nor hate me when i come to call
and take him back again
I fancied that i heard them say
dear lord thy will be done
for all the joy thy child shall bring
the risk of grief we'll run
we'll shelter him with tenderness
we'll love him while we may
and for the happiness we've known
forever grateful stay
but should the angels call for him
much sooner than we planned
we'll brave the bitter grief that comes
and try to understand.

We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday,
and days before that too.
We think of you in silence
We often speak your name
Now all we have are memories
and your picture in a frame
Your memory is our keepsake
with which we'll never part
god has you in his keeping
we have you in our heart!
When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
and each time you think of me I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for and so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things that I'd miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity and all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful, so trusting, and so true.
Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do.
But now at last you’re free.
So won't you take my hand and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart
