I'm just another local mom who lost her only son quite tragically and I feel the need to reach out to Dylan's family. To let you know that one day you will smile more than you weep, when you think of him. The sight of his beloved belongings will break your hearts and you will never stop wondering who he would be and what he would be doing at any age. But there is one truth, that we are grateful to have had then them the years that we did. I am grateful that Dylan did not know his time was so short, that was a blessing, We shared our son's grief at losing it all as we suffered our own in all his impending lost promise. And to your daughter, she has lost who she was, Dylan's sister. She is going to need a lot of loving care, too. My heart just goes out to all of you to find strength and purpose in this awful outcoming. God Bless.

Dylan has been a close friend of our daughter for nearly 10 years. Everything I know about this young man is exemplary. His fine character and his kind heart will always be remembered by his many friends, and I know they are grieving him deeply. He was the kind of boy that any parent would have been proud of, and the kind of friend that would always be there. He is gone far too soon. My heart goes out to the Zimmermans and to Thalia. Your son was a wonderful boy that was growing into a fine man and our entire community is diminished by his loss.
