TO WARREN AND YOUR BELOVED FAMILY:

Another link in the Dillon family chain has been broken, and though the certainty of death and the uncertainty of life are ever with us, each visit of the grim reaper brings new sorrow and humbles us. We must however, remember that God will never leave nor forsake us, for He is our calm before the storm and our bridge over troubled waters.

We pray that you continue to be filled with faith and hope, even in the midst of inescapable grief. And, through it all, may you find strength and courage through the peace of Christ, which passes all understanding. Our love, thoughts and prayers are with you all.
