Dylan was an amazing young man with a one-of-a-kind personality. Just his being in a room could bring a smile to one's face.

Colleen,
As our lives progress, we expect to see our elders (mother, father, great Aunt, etc.) pass away - it's part of the cycle of life and that helps us prepare for those losses.
But never, can we be prepared for the loss of a child. I want to express to you my sorrow and condolences. I am so sorry.
