I was not fortunate to have met Dillon in person, However, I met him through the intense love of his Yaya, my friend. Wendy has always spoken of Dillon and Tyler, in fact all of her grandchildren with extreme care, love and with a sparkle in her eyes.
I am soooo happy that Dillon is now able to do ALL the things that he has wanted to do.
He will not be forgotten as he continues to live in God's Divine Prescence.
God's blessings and comfort.
