A baby is loved long before they are born ... and we had so many dreams for our life together with our beautiful baby. These dreams went to Heaven in a sad moment. We are now left with our tears and so much pain that words can not express it. Dylan will always remain our little "precious" baby, and while he will be missing from our arms he will be forever in our hearts. And we will do our best to find comfort in knowing that he rests lovingly in the arms of Jesus. Dylan...we will love you forever.
