Dearest Karen,
Our conversation on the phone a few weeks ago meant so much to me. I have viewed the pictures of your beautiful family and read your entries. It is hard to put into words what precious memories I have of you and your classmates (and Dave also, even though I never had him in my class!) which are still vivid although so many years have passed. Bob and I are thinking of you and your family. What a tremendous person you are and have been all your life. What a good and hard working student you were and I remember your intense honesty! I love you, Karen, and am thinking of you constantly and praying for a miracle. Love, Roberta

Marengo, Il usa - Saturday, May 10, 2008 8:55 PM CDT

I am the mother of a daughter diagnosed with P-16 genetic familial melanoma (skin cancer caused by genetic mutations in skin that runs in families). She is now 19 and has been a survivor since she was 14. She is going to a college that has been terrible to her, not offering any accommodations, though letters from the oncologist were sent in. She is doing okay, but emotionally, she has been through many discouraging days and 37 surgeries. About every two to three months, she has to miss one week of college in order to have another surgery, melanomas of skin removed. She has been blessed in that she has never had to have chemo, etc. So, I know it could be worse and to some extent, I feel guilty for complaining. I am trying to find a "cancer friendly" college. She goes to a private liberal arts school in southern Ohio. We are pulling her out(end of her first year). She used to be an honors student, always got good grades, etc. Now, she is lucky to pass with all her credits. Do you know of any resources I could connect her with that would be understanding and helpful? Any online support groups for kids with skin cancer? Any cause she can help with that may make her feel empowered? Thank you and God bless. Mrs. P in Ohio

I was linked to your site while on a friends site for her young daughter Mackenzie Stuck who is going through chemo at Hopkins. Please know as it is close to his 2nd anniversary that I am thinking of you. I cannot understand what it would be like to bear the pain of losing a child. I am so sorry for your loss and may the memories you made as a wonderful and loving family with Dylan always bring you some comfort.

Kim,
Thank you so much for the Dollars for Dillion box. Bruce really enjoyed the stuff inside through out our lengthy 2 month hospital stay. I am so glad that you participated in The Light The night Walk. We we;re inhouse for our Bone Marrow Transplant during the time, I believe. If it wasn't transplant we were here for somethimg else. We finally went home Tuesday night of this week. That's the first time in like 2 1/2 - 3 months. Bruce is doing well post transplant. We are only on day plus 37. But as we both know everyday is a blessing. I really miss you, and think about you and your family often. I really would llike to get together for coffee or have to stop by to say hi to Bruce. Well for know, we're sitting in the clinic, room 7, waiting for cbc results and the results of his LAST Bone marrow Asperation. Hopefully BMA & spinal taps are a thing of the past. Take care of yourself darlin and keep in touch. Here's Bruce's web site agian, just incase you don't have it. ( caringbridge.org/md/brucelunt ) Call me sometime . Home # = 410-799-0464 or cell # = 443-519-3320 By the way one more thing. Bruce really enjoyed playing playstation on the tvs and things that you and your family donated.

Kim,

I knew God had our paths cross for a reason. I enjoyed talking with you so much this evening.
Did you know that the word peace is mentioned 116 times in the new testiment in 109 different verses? That speaks volumns about how much God wants PEACE for our lives! The verse that I mentioned to you tonight I wanted to share is Philippians 4:7 -
And the peace of God, which passath all understanding,shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus...

Kim, your not only keeping Dylans memory alive in such a loving way as this but doing a work for GOD... may he bless and keep you! Your helping others is what God would want you to do & is blessing you for it! Not to mention all the others it's helped! I'll continue to pray for your entire family they are all beautiful! I feel richly blessed to know you.

Sincerely,
Tera Massey

Hi Kim and Dylan's family,
Its Brandy, from school, I was surfing the web and I said I'll see what i can find about Dylan. Then I came upon this. Murphy and I have been and became best buds since the sad death of Dylan. At school he not only felt like a friend to us he felt like a brother, and I know that for Mr.D he felt like a second son. Every one loved him he was funny, good at basketball, and no matter what held his head up high and was always smiling.I know it was hard through all the times you and Dylan's family had been though. At school he is always with us and everyday we walk by his jersey hanging on the wall with a picture of him. He was a good boy and they say that the good die young...maybe he was too good for us maybe..God thought he deserved better. I'm sure he's a lot happier now then when he was fighting his cancer. I'm sure he was never lonely in that room. Everytime someone could they would go up to the hospital to visit, I know Josh did a couple of times. Everyone at school has helped Murphy though the times she had every now and then when she didn't know how much longer he was gonna live. He was a good boy. I know how much you miss him because you & his family will never forget about him. Even though he may no be here physicly he is still with us spiritly. I know that tomorrow, March 4, will be 1 year since we found out he even had cancer. He fought it for 6 months and just did what was best for him gave up. Oh boy when we found out..everyone was in tears...I even saw some boys starting to get sad. Sarah, Murphy, and I had our own little group going that day. We ended up missing all of our morning classes because we couldn't stop crying nothing had made up feel better. Well you know that all of us here at HASH are here for you and your family. If you want to keep in touch that would be fine...or if you'd rather not talk about it thats is also fine. Whatever your heart tells you to do.
Well I'll talk to you later!

Hi, Kim. Just checking in. I hope your cookbook and Dylan's Dream will go well. Maybe you can just focus on one specific project/part of your mission to start with, and use success with that to grow. My prayers are with you for your efforts and for you and your family; I wish I could help more and that I had better words for you. Many hugs.

Dear Kim,
I have not signed your guestbook since the day that Dylan passed away but I check this page almost every day when I check in on Christopher Melkonian. Your speech for Light the Night was just beautiful! I have read it many times and it still pulls at my heart so. I really just want you to know that, even though we have never met, you are ALWAYS in my thoughts and in my prayers and will continue to be.

Sincerely,

While I never had the special privilege of meeting Dylan in person, I did have one very special opportunity to speak with him on the phone for a few minutes. I didn't have to meet him to know and understand what a great guy he was!!!
Dylan, I know you're dancing in God's Great Band of Angels in heaven, and waiting for the day when your lovely Mom and other family will join you there!! You had a friend you never knew.

Another angel takes flight.

My deepest, most sincere sympathy and condolences to each and every one of you!! Dylan was a fighter, there is no doubt about that! He is now pain free, free to fly in the Heavens and watch over all of you!
We lost our precious Pam on Oct. 7, 2003, so I know what you are going through. There are no words that can ease the pain.

The worst thing that can happen to a parent is to lose a child. It feels like someone ripped your heart out. You go from the unbelievable to the unbearable.

Dylan is in a good place now and I'm sure Pam is with him. She just loved children so much.

I would just like to share a saying that was on the card my wife Diane picked out, and we bought for Pam:

If you were a star
That wasn�t expected back
In the universe
For a thousand years,
I�d wait.

If you were the sky
And everyone went inside
When you got sad
And started to rain,
I�d stay.

And if you were a peach
And the world decided to get rid of all peaches,
I�d pick you up,
Put you in my pocket�

AND KEEP YOU��..FOREVER.

I would also like to share, with you and your family, a poem that was put on Pams website:
God's Garden

God looked around His garden
And found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face

He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best

He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain,
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered "Peace Be Thine."

It breaks our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

You are all in our prayers. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

I only hope that if I find myself in the same situation, that I will be able to draw on the strentgh of all the mothers who have "been there".

Dear Kim and Family,
Our hearts are aching and tears shed for your loss of precious Dylan. We learned about Dylan from Katja's site. Being parents like you, we feel deep sorrow in our minds. Nothing will replace the hole in our hearts caused by the loss of our beloved ones. On earth, our kids with cancer have always been the bravest fighters. And now we believe they are lying in Heavenly Father's caring arms with pain free. Our Esther, Dylan, Katja, and many other children are enjoying the forever love up there and joyfully waiting for our reunion soon after. We are praying for and thinking of your family in this time of difficult days. May the peace and comfort from our God be with you. With lots of love and hugs.

Gaithersburg, MD - Sunday, September 19, 2004 7:45 PM CDT

Kim--I was so sorry to hear of Dylan's passing. I just started checking in with you a few days before you lost Dylan. I am heartbroken for you. I have no experience with losing a child, however, I do know of an organization called Compassionate Friends. I'll bet there is a website, if not a chapter near you.
My mother-in-law lost her son (my husband's only brother) in 1989 and I know that she kept her son's memory alive by talking of him. At times it must have been so painful for her as he was only 17 when he died. My children never met their uncle, but they know of him through hearing stories about him. My son's middle name is in honor of his uncle. We have a photo of Stephen in our living room, so that he is "always with us."
I am sure that in time you will find a way to deal with all the emotions that at the moment are so raw. I am sure it will be a trying time for all of you. I will continue to think and pray for you.

My daughter Emma aged 10yrs passed away on 26th May 2004. I still feel lost in grief and pain. I miss her more with each day that passes. The wonderful support and love of my friends and family, (especially my other daughter Rebecca) is what gets me through the days and nights. My best advice is to allow your friends to help and comfort you. I have also found it healing to set up a fund in Emma's name to raise money for leukaemia research in memory of Emma and to compile all my favourite photo's and videos of her. As I am new to this agony I can't tell you what the long term future holds I'm too scared to look that far in front myself. But I know that whatever the future holds I will always know the great honour of being Emma's mum for 10 wonderful years, as you will of Dylan. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

{{{Kim}}} I'm so very sad to learn of another precious angel, your son Dylan. I lost my daughter 3 years ago to ALL after a 4+ year battle, she was only 5 when dx.
I think what helped me most during the first year was being a member of an internet support group just for parents who have lost kids to cancer, called daybyday. I just felt that I needed to "talk" or "listen" to other parents who had been through the very same loss. I also read many books on the subject of bereavement. Please consider emailing Gigi (the same person who runs the Gold Ribbons website) and joining the daybyday website, gigi@lgcy.com. Take care,

I am so sorry to hear about Dylan's passing. A boy just about Dylan's age earned his wings just two days after Dylan. He had a BMT in July and just had an awful time before he passed. His web site is www.caringbridge.org/nj/thomaspeterpaul. Today would have been his twelfth birthday so I am sure his parents are having a tough day.

I pray that your pain yet not your memories of Dylan ease with time.
