I remember Dionne when she was just a little girl. She blossomed into a beautiful woman and was the apple of her parents eyes. Weston, my condolences to you and the family. I know this note comes a little too late but it's the memories that counts. Dione might have left an impression on all of our hearts, but her love will continue to blossom like a bouqet of roses. Whenever you think of her, think of how beautiful she is making Gods garden. Love and peace to you all.

You are not here and yet you are always here
Your smile and laughter are not here yet they are always here
The light in you’re eyes are not here but the light of spirit is always here
The sound of your voice is no longer yet your thought and your wisdom is always here
The life that you lived is no longer here yet the life that you love is always here
The love you gave is no longer here yet the loving you give is always here
The friend we had is no longer here yet the friendship you give is always here
The sibling you were is no longer here yet the sister that you are is always here
The off spring you were is no longer here yet the daughter that you are is always here
The spouse that you were is no longer here yet the wife that you are is always here
The mother that you are is no longer here yet the MOMMY that you are is always here
For everything that you were you are no longer here yet everything you are is always here
You were not my blood yet you are my sister
You are not here yet you are always here

My deepest sympathy goes out to your family. I went to High School with Dionne, I always said we were going to be singers because we had the same name as Dionne Warwick. May the family find the comfort of the Lord. Dionne will always be a star because of her loving attitude towards others. When you look up to heaven and see the stars, Dionne will be sparkling down. Dionne left a legacy in her son, we will always remember her in him.

I love you and will forever miss you, I can only console my self by thinking somehow your spirit lives on, I will forever celebrate your life by trying to be as free spirited as you were, by not worrying about things i can't change. I know when all is said and done you lived your life to the best of your ability, I hope to also do the same.

So many great memories in the years that ive Known Dee, Joe, & Dillion. So many fun filled nights at Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun, our love of Krispie Kreme donuts, afternoons at the Wedgewood pool, and all the laughs we had working at Laurel Gardens together. Friends like Dee are so hard to come by. There is a void in all of our lives where Dee used to be, but may her happy spirit and love for fun live inside our hearts forever.

It is never easy for parents to bury their children, but somehow we have to accept God's will.

I am really sorry for your loss but I want you to take refuge in Psalm 46.

Dionne was one of my best students at Capital Community College. May her soul rest in peace.
