From the Brown Family

Dylan,

We love you like you are part of our family and you and your mom will be part of us forever.  Caitlin and Madison love playing with you; they look up to you as a role model and a leader.  Your mother has instilled that in you. While the reason that you have hung out with us after school is sad, we have been very HAPPY to spend time with you.  I hope you never lose your cheerful spirit, your love of life, your silly grin, and your crazy sayings that made your mom (and me) laugh so hard.

Your mother loved you more than words can express. She sacrificed much to raise you into a strong, intelligent, Christian man. You were ALWAYS her top priority. Always honor her by leading a purpose driven, honorable, Christian life. For me personally, your mom was the kind of lady that made me want to be a better person.  She taught me how to love my children a little more, take a little more time to simply breathe and laugh and appreciate life.  She made me a better mother and for that I will be eternally grateful.  Caitlin and Madison love how she always said "dang" and "Bless your heart." Your mom always gave me coupons for stuff she thought I might buy, samples of new foods she bought, and most of all she gave me a dependable friendship that I miss greatly.  

You and your mom have been a blessing in our lives, a blessing that will continue to live on in spirits, thoughts, and inspired actions for the rest of our lives.

We love you.
Seth, Joanna, Caitlin, and Madison Brown
