They will forever touch our hearts. It's hard to find a rainbow in the midst of a storm but when you do you realize it's all going to be ok. We found that rainbow today. It's not goodbye, but til we meet again. Love to you all and thank you again. #BuddyDanielson #ConnorMichalek #TilWeMeetAgain #thankyou"
