I am so sorry for your sudden loss. Experiencing the death of someone you love can be life changing and overwhelming. We were created to enjoy life forever, not experiencing the excruciating pain you are feeling now. Please know that God's original prupose for us has not changed. Revelation 21:4 speaks of suffering, pain, and even death are going to be removed forever. We also have the marvelous hope. Of seeing those we have lost in death, once again, by means of the resurrection, as brought out at Acts 24:15. I do hope you are able to find some relief from your pain.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this incredibly difficult time. Danielle was a beautiful soul who always put herself out there to help others. I knew Danielle as a vibrant and motivated woman who never stopped chasing her dreams. Although, I had not seen her in several years we stayed in touch periodically and it was her example that gave me the strength to become a nurse. I hope that in time you can find peace in knowing that she was deeply loved and that her amazingly infectious laughter and energy will stay with you forever. She was an incredible woman that touched many people with her give of love and healing. She will be missed.

I used to play with Danielle when we were kids. I remember she got mad at me because my parents were taking on a trip to Disney World and I was going to miss her birthday party. I am so shocked. Prayers to your family <3

I met Danielle through APIC and came to know her through our infection prevention experiences in GIPN and just swapping personal experiences. I enjoyed her unrelenting enthusiasm and zest for life. She was so excited to join the Infection Prevention team at Memorial, I just knew she would fit right in. I am heartbroken now and pray for her and her family in this time of infallible grief

My deepest sympathy goes out to her family. I met Danielle through MRTT and she was always a ray of sunshine. My fondest memory of her was running Tybee Run Fest. She never gave up and pushed through always with a smile on her face. She loved life, her children and family, friends, and running. May she always be smiling down on us and may we all find comfort in our memories of her smiling face. She has earned her wings.

Dear Flanagan Family, I had the pleasure of working with Danielle when she first graduated from nursing school here at Memorial and recently with teaching the nurses at night, just in April. Her loss will be felt. Her energy and love of her family was so evident. I was blessed to have known her the brief time I did. The gift of herself was felt by all of her patients! God bring you Peace!

Danielle was my sole sister. She encouraged me to do my best at every race and to push myself in life. She was always smiling and had encouraging positive words. Her life was a ray of sunshine for those around her. Ever since the day I met her she was there cheering people on, offering others hope and kindness. May her memory forever be in our hearts as we celebrate her life. May her families hearts be willed with love from beyond and knowing that one day they will again see her smiling face.
- Lisa Norman, Savannah, GA
I didn't know Danielle real well. I ran with her sometimes. But in my brief experience of her, I saw how positive and loving and nice she was. That was the main part of her personality. I will miss her smiling face. I'm real sorry.

My thoughts and prayers are with Danielle's family now as they prepare for life in her absence. I had the pleasure of becoming friends with Danielle in Nursing School at Armstrong. We became study partners instantly and spent the next 2 years hitting the books. She was a good person, a good friend, and a spectacular mother, who strived to be better and give her son, a good life. As a single mother in nursing school this was not easy. But Danielle perservered. I am both shocked and saddened by her death. My prayers will continue for her family and I pray they will find peace and grace to get them through the days ahead. God Bless you Danielle. I am so sorry.

Words cannot express how painful this is to the Flanagan's family. But, as Christians, we hope you can take comfort in the words Jesus spoke in John 11:25, when he said he is the resurrection and the life... May Danielle's soul rest in perfect peace, Amen.

O my God, O Forgiver of sins and Dispeller of afflictions! O Thou Who art pardoning and merciful! I raise my suppliant hands to Thee, tearfully beseeching the court of Thy divine Essence to forgive, through Thy mercy and pardon, Thy handmaiden who hath ascended unto the seat of truth. Cause her, O Lord, to be overshadowed by the clouds of Thy bounty and favor, immerse her in the ocean of Thy forgiveness and clemency, and enable her to enter the sanctified abode, Thy heavenly Paradise. Thou art, verily, the Mighty, the Compassionate, the Generous, the Merciful.

I am sorry for your loss. Jehovah is a God of comfort and offers it through his Word the Bible. A scripture I find encouraging is Isaiah 25:8. Yes there we see that he will do away with death and all things that bring us pain. How Satisfying that will be! May positive memories fill your hearts and minds through this difficult time.
