I was touched by your story. I have also lost a precious little boy named Jonathan Kealer to Neuroblastoma. We have to hang onto the memories and look for the day we are all together again.

You'll be thought of with love tomorrow, but that is nothing new. You are thought of today and yesterday I thought of you. Dillon's memory is your keepsake, with which you'll never part. God has him in his keeping, but you have him in your hearts.
Sending you love for Dillon's birthday, you are in my thoughts.

Thank you for emailing us with your kind words after Ryan's passing. I can see that it does not get any easier. My Son and daughter-in-law are very strong and have their 3 beautiful girls to help them get through this, but it isn't going to be easy. I know our boys are in a better place. Thank you again. God Bless You and your family. Connie McCormick

Dropping by with warm and knowing hugs and tears as you celebrate the remembrance of Dillon's birth. I pray it comforts you to know that we cannot even imagine the joy they are experiencing in our Lord's presence. Nevertheless, it is hard in this valley. Praise God, the best is yet to come! May our Lord's peace be yours.

Dillon,
Did you get the balloons that mom and I sent to you,on Saturday. I picked blue, and yellow, Mom picked Orange ones.
We went up to the park and we let the balloons go, my blue one raced high above the others, reaching you first. It seems like yesterday, we were playing in clinic, and driving the staff up the wall.
I miss you.
Mom and looked at photos of us Friday night, some of them we look so happy and healthy in, like that weekend in Hot Springs, when you played in the pool, but I couldn’t get in yet, cause I was not far enough out of treatment.
Then there are photos of you in clinic, starting treatment again.
Even though you didn’t feel good you always had time for me.
Mom says it’s because of you and many other Angles that I’m still here, that you all went before me finding the best treatments, It’s because of you that so many other kids have a better chance of beating Neuroblastoma.
Thank you!

Hey Dillon, I hope you had a happy birthday in heaven yesterday and they threw a big party for you. I have been thinking of you all day. Can't believe it has been 4 years already since you came to visit us for your way too short stay on earth. I miss hearing stories about you and seeing new pictures with you and your little bro'. Please watch over your family, they probably missed you even more yesterday than they do anyway.
Love,
Candy

Tony, Lisa, And Zack,
I love you all so much and wish I knew the words that would take away the hurt.
I miss Dillon so much, My heart breaks each time I think of him not being with us. Myles and Dillon had been through so much together. It will be hard going to Dr's visits without him. I know that Dillon is watching over all of us, he knows how much we love him and he knows we will never be the same without him. I am a better person because he was in my life. I watched him fight for his life without fear or complaint. I saw the joy he had when he became a big brother. The over all love he had for people is a lesson we could all use. His love for Myles will always be in my heart, I know the he is watching over Myles, Elisha, Hosanna and Heaaven as only he can. Dillon I love you and miss you and will never forget you. Thank you for being a part of my life.

Dear David and Lisa,
Our hearts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow. In loving memory of Dillon......
The love of a child
is a love beyond compare
And for a child to suffer
just doesn't seem fair
You keep asking God
why does it have to be mine
It seems no matter how hard you pray
there's not an answer to find
Remember thru all these troubled times
that God really does have a plan
It's just thru our human eyes
that things are so hard to understand
Thru all the crying and sadness
and the tears may you find
A peace that passes understanding
meant for a different time
Just know that God gave you a special child
to fill your hearts with so much love
And now Dillon is happy with God
in His arms up above.
A fellow NB family,
The Beack's <imperialbeek@aol.com>

Hey Dillon, Gene here. You are a lucky little dude to have such great parents! I hope to get to see you again someday so I can give you five and tell you silly stories about how your father ran V Corps while some General thought he was really the one is charge! He was a major player in the Army's forward deployed Corps getting along in Bosnia. I know you dont really know what that means right now, but you will. All that skill and talent is what makes him a great father! I miss him, lisa, and your little paws. Wish we could have spent more time doing stuff here in Germany. Take care of you and stay strong, you da man!
