I have some sad news to share with you all.

Last night, Daniel's mother passed away. She had been in the hospital for a few
weeks, originally from complications with her liver. In the end, she passed due to
liver, kidney, lung and heart complications.

We were able to arrange a 15 minute special emergency call last Monday from Daniel
to the hospital. His sisters were there to hold the phone to his mother's ear but
she could not speak. Although she was unable to express anything, we do feel that
she heard his words. Daniel's sister said that she had recently talked about how she
wanted to go visit Daniel, but because she was on a liver transplant list, she was
unable to leave the NYC area. They hadn't seen each other since Daniel went into
prison, over 2 1/2 years ago.

Please send your love and condolences to Daniel (writing info here:

Please keep Daniel's entire family in your thoughts. It is a very difficult time for
all.

But, as one life passes, one begins again.
If there was ever a reason to feel some joy today it is because Daniel's friend Jeff
Luers will be walking out of prison after 9 1/2 years.
Your help and donations are needed to help Jeff adjust back to life on the outside.

Thanks for your love and support.
