Dylan, you will forever be a part of us and we love you beyond expression. Stay with us always "little man" and be our own special angel!


To Those I Love and Those Who Love Me:


When I am gone, release me, let me go, I have so many things to see and do. You musn't tie yourself to me with tears, be happy that we had so many years.


-


I gave to you my love. You can only guess how much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it's time I traveled on alone.


So grieve a while for me if grieve you must, then let your grief be comforted by trust. It's only for a while that we must part so bless the memories


within your heart.


I won't be far away, for life goes on, so if you need me, call and I will come. Though "you can't see or touch me, I'll be near; and if you listen with your heart, you'll hear all my love around you, soft and clear.


And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile, and a "Wel- come Home!"

When times get tough as they often do


Hold your head up, and push gallantly through.


We had some hard times in our lives, by hey, they weren't that bad,

Say good-bye, and walk away, and remember me with love.
