Our thoughts and prayers are with Mrs. Alberta Dillon and family during your idle time reflecting on a life well lived of your dear loved one. As we knew him as Daddy Dillon we will always remember him as the meek man smiling with an humble spirit entering into the gates of heaven as one of God's chosen servants. Pray together far and near and stay together near and far. Blessings

Sometimes you never know the journey that life will take you through. I went to school with several of the Dillon siblings. Many years later I have had the opportunity to care for their mother and father while in the hospital. I am glad to have had the pleasure of reuniting with some and meeting others in your family. Your family is an example of a strong and unified family which is so beautiful. My God Bless each of you and his mercy shine upon you all. God has taken one of his beautiful angels home.
