Dillon,
Its so hard to believe that you would have your license right now. You were always the little kid, who I built forts with, or gave mohawks to, or read stories to at night. Miss you Dilly, a lot. It's still unbelievable that your gone. Lucky for me I still have your goat in my back yard (that you would have done a much better job showing than me). It's close to the only thing I have that belonged to you and I know you and probably the best best keepsake I could ever have.
Love you forever,
Chey

Heyy Dillon!, It's Brooke and all I wanted to say was that I miss you and all the special memories we have had. I was recently looking at 4-H pictures from the Flower Garden we visited in Carlsbad a few years ago and then we went to the beach! That was such an amazing trip with you and the other 4-H members. I love you and miss you Dillon! and I know you're watching over all of us and protecting us through your special ways. Just remember: You will ALWAYS be in each and every one of our hearts! Happy New Year, hope you have a FANTASTIC year!

It just doesn't seem like two years since you left us. Sometimes it feels like more, most of the time it seems like yesterday. I miss your passion for life, and your eagerness to help others. Your fellow students came by to pray with us today. What a compassionate gesture. Your school loves you and misses you just like your family and friends. You are loved so much Dillon!
Love you Dills, Mom
