Dillon: You have touched our lives in so many ways. You were So Tiny but yet so brave. You had the best smile, and the cuties boo-boo lip, "I'll tell ya a secret, that would have gotten you anything you wanted" I'm gonna miss you, you give your brothers and sisters a hug and kiss from me, and tell them we miss them too. Love ya buddy.
Dionna & Ora: No two people should have to go through what you two have been through in the last 11 years. Words cannot say how sorry I am for you two. If possible keep your head up high, things have to get BETTER. If theres anything, anything you need I am just a phone call away. I love the both of you with all my heart! Tina

I want to express my sincere condolences to you all for the loss of little Dillon. I have not met any of you face to face but I felt a connection in the spirit. I prayed for Dillon - asking God for a miracle; and I believe a miracle was done. It may not have been physical but I know in the spirit it happened. Be encouraged. God had a purpose and a plan for his life and that purpose and plan has been fulfilled. He is with the Lord - whole, healed and happy. You will see him again one day. I pray that hope will keep you strong in the Lord so that you can rejoice in God's presence together. I will remember you in prayer. May God bless you abundantly today and always!

Dionna and family,
I know both of you and your families are feeling this lose. I am going to continue praying for you all. Your brothers and sisters in this family of God, are all with you. We may not be there to hold you in our loving arms and hug the daylights out of you, but we hold you up before Him. We share in your tears and in your grief. As I read those forwarded reports, I came to know a special little boy. I also came to know the hearts of his parents. I love you so, and wish I could take some of the pain you are feeling into me to lessen your grief. I know I can't. So, instead, I pray that the God of Peace will indwell you, and His ministerine angels comfort you. I send my love across the miles and a spiritual hug at this time. . . Becky

Dionna and Ora-
No words I will say could ever make this time in your lives easier. Dillon was such a sweet child. Everyone who came in contact with him loved him. That sly little smile of his was enough to make your day. You are absolute wonderful parents. In the time I have worked at Childrens, I have never seen parents as dedicated and wonderful as you. May God be with you and your family during this time. I know I will never forget your sweet Dillon. My prayers are with you. Sincerely, Summer (resp care)

All of our prayer partners are continuing to hold you both up as you walk this difficult walk of grief once more. When you feel you just can't move one foot in front of the other know we are all here praying. Know that God is carrying you through it. He will not leave you. In the darkest hour, when we are the least able to recognize Him, our loving Father is there. Dillon's life has touched so many. He was one very precious gift not only to the two of you, but to all who knew him or knew of him.
