Monica and I are so sorry for your loss. Dylan was such a good man and friend to all. I know he was very proud of his family. He was always telling us what you guys were up to and how his boys were dominating in their ball games. Our hearts go out to you all and we are here if you ever need anything.
This news broke my heart for this family. Prayers for ways to find peace. Reading all those family names raised my heart a bit as you’ll have each other for support. I hope all goes well this week and may God Bless You!
Lori ,Colin and Jay,
So sorry for your loss; my wife and I got to see Colin play ball one weekend and the smile that was on Dylan’s face that he got to introduce his family to us will never leave my mind. He was so proud of his two boy’s and very supportive wife left no doubt that you were the center of his universe. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your boys.
Lori, Colin and Jay,
I’m so very sorry about Dylan’s passing. What a great person he was. We had so many conversations about the boys ball games, your vacation to the baseball Hall of Fame and just life in general! We will all miss him so much! One of the best work buddies I’ve had through the years! We are here for you!
Lori, I’m heartbroken for you and your boys. Prayers for comfort and strength for all of you.
My sweet friend.
