Hi Buddy,
Another milestone is here and it breaks my heart that I can not share it with you. Senior pictures.....your friends are posting theirs and all I want is for you to have yours. I miss you and miss the special moments we dont get to share.
I love you!
I also need you to watch over your friend Kelsey. She needs an angel and you are the best!!
Love forever,

I wish Heaven had a phone.....I need to hear your sweet voice say " I love you momma!"

Dalton, i thought about you today, it was out of the blue. I was listening to country music and had a sudden flash of all the fun times we used to spend at the pool, hours and hours on those tenis courts(: Durring swim meets if it stormed we would all pile in the trunks of cars and wait it out. I remember one day you can to practice and you were so exctied because you had learned one of those back things it was something along the lines of "crack and egg on your back let the yolk drip down..." we stood there on the tenis courts all doing it to each other. And another time when one of the vending machines at the pool ate my money you took your money and bought me the ice cream i wanted. Also, we used to catch frogs right before the pool closed. (: ohh what i would do to get those lazy summer nights back...i miss you so much dalton. but i know you are in a better place now, i love you dalton.

HaPpY EaStEr Dalton!!!!!!! Love you my favorite peep :>)

Momma

Sweet Dalton,
Just a note to say I love you and miss you more and more every day. I come to this sight to read all the notes that friends and family leave you...it is a comfort. I sure hope they have lots of yummy Easter candy in Heaven :>)....I love you my best buddy and awesome angel!!

Dear Mrs. Atkinson,
My name is Theresa Youssef Chalghoumi. My son, Samir, was in your class and friends with Dalton. Currently I am getting my masters in education and I am writing a curriculum that I would like to dedicate (with your permission) to Dalton's memory. I was not sure how to get in touch with you and please forgive me for adding this comment here. But, I would not like to do this without asking you first. Please feel free to call me at 516 7247 or email me at [email protected]. Your son is forever in our hearts. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Theresa Youssef Chalghoumi

Momma

Hey man, it's Alex again, I know it's been a really long time since I've talked to you, but I just wanted to say that I've just been thinking about you lately. In the yearbook at Byrd, they put a whole page on it dedicated to you, I pretty much wrote on every page in the yearbook except that one because that page is the most important one in it.

Dalton,
Today would have been your graduation from middle school, another milestone that we can not share. My heart is broken and I am so sad! My baby boy would be headed off to high school in the fall!
On a happy note, the memorial page in the Byrd yearbook is AMAZING!!! You continue to inspire your friends and they all love you so...how could they not, you ROCK!!!
I love you buddy!
Momma

We thank your mom for being such a inspiring and a wonderful teacher to us throughout the school year.

fom:Armani,Asia,Kaylynn,and Kristin

I know your family misses you alot and we give you our sympathy.

Mrs.Atkinsons class 08-09

Happy Memorial Day Dalton!! I missed you being with me at the cookout at the pool today :<(
I love you SOOOOOOOO Much!!
XO,
Momma

If tears could build a stairway
And memories a lane
I would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again.

No farewell words were spoken
No time to say “Goodbye”
You were gone before I knew it
And only god knows why.

My heart still aches with sadness
And secret tears will flow
What it meant to love you-
No one can ever know

But now I know you want me
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store

Since you’ll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today-
A hollowed place within my heart
Is where you’ll always stay.

Dalton,
Hasn't it been so very amazing to see how much everyone loves you and how they have honored you today. It has been amazing!! The only thing missing from today is you here with us! Happy 14th birthday my sweet sweet angel!!

Hi sweet boy. Thought of you so much yesterday while grandma and I were in Washington. I was remembering the spring break we took you and how much fun we had!!! I could always count on you for tons of smiles and laughter..I am really missing that! I can only imagine the glory of Easter in Heaven, how incredible it must be! I do wish you were here with me though, I realize how very selfish that is and I have no right to even think it but missing you and wanting you back is so hard. I love you angel, Happy Easter!

You always have and always will have a special place in my heart.
I love you,
