"Stephanie, Quinn, Mr and Mrs Davis, extended family and friends, I was deeply sorry to hear of the loss of your sweet boy, even before I knew he was YOUR sweet boy. Although. I did not have the pleasure of knowing him, I know he was something special, because of each of you. He will always be in the beat of your hearts and the core of your souls. Please know that you have my deepest sympathies and most sincere prayers for peace and comfort as well as uplifting joy knowing that you will once again be reunited. Many hugs to my most favorite teacher, Mr Davis and his beloved family."

"Stephanie and Quinn, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I can't even find the words to tell you. I know I haven't seen you guys or Dylan for so long, but the three of you have always been in my heart throughout the years. I have such fond memories of Dylan and his smile from the soccer years. I didn't know Quinn very well, but I did get to know Dylan, and I loved him. Seth and Jordan loved him too. My heart is broken for the two of you, and I pray for peace to eventually replace your grief. God, Our Father in heaven, offers a peace that passes all human understanding. Take good care. Love, Nancy Feather"

"I am so very sorry about Dylans passing. I never knew him and I do not know the family, but I, myself, am grieving the loss of my 34 yr old son from an auto accident in December. It wont be an easy journey for you, as I suspect you already know. What I want you to know is how much I admire your strength in deciding to include in Dylans obituary that he struggled with addiction. Maybe someone elses life will be saved by seeing in print what is a possible outcome of their drug abuse. No one thinks it will ever happen to them. Again, my heart aches for those who loved Dylan and will miss him."
