My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Im so sorry for your loss.

I believe that when a child dies, the whole world stops for just an instant. The sadness and devastation wields that much power--that much force. My thoughts and prayers have been with your family, Dean, and especially with your parents during this time of  overwhelming loss.

I love u my little angel... we will soon reunited but until then ull always be with me little Dean Dean

My family's thoughts and prayers are with you all.  

"Do not judge a song by its duration
Nor by the number of its notes
Judge it by the richness of its contents
Sometimes those unfinished are among the most poignant…"

My heart goes out to our family for this terrible loss...

"I'll lend you for a little time a child of mine," He said. 
For you to love - while he lives 
And mourn for when he's dead. 
It may be six or seven years 
Or twenty-two or three, 
But will you, till I call him back, 
Take care or him for Me? 
He'll bring his smiles to gladden you, 
And should this stay be brief 
You'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief. 
I cannot promise he will stay, 
Since all from earth return, 
But there are lessons taught down there 
I want this child to learn. 
I've looked this world over 
In search for teachers true, 
And from the throngs that crowd 
Life's lanes, I have selected you. 
Now will you give him all your love, 
Nor count the labor vain, 
Nor hate Me when I come to call to 
Take him back again?" 
I fancied that I heard them say, 
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done, 
For all the joy Thy child shall bring, 
The risk of grief we'll run. 
We'll shelter him with tenderness, 
We'll love him while we may, 
And for the happiness we've known 
Forever grateful stay. 
But should the angels call for him 
Much sooner than we've planned, 
We'll brave the bitter grief that come 
And try to understand."

Heather, I know we aren't in touch but know that you have been in my thoughts and prayers. I know you loved Dean very much. Sorry for your loss and my condolences.

My thoughts are with the family. Please accept my condolences.

I know how much your parents loved you.  My heart goes out to them and the family at this time.  I loved hearing the stories about you and seeing your pictures and videos shared online from them.  I hope they may accept my deepest sympathies for their loss, and may you watch down on us from heaven in loving peace.

From the first moment I saw you I loved you. You were so full of energy. I will never forget the time that I was able to spend with you. I will always love you Dean. And I will see you again.
