My Deepest condolence to the Family, Dalton Rest In Peace 🙏🙏🙏
Dalton was a very special person. He was that one in the crowd that was quiet and relaxed. He could make you feel better by just giving you a hug. He had the best hugs, taught to him by his Grandpa. I will never forget the anniversary of this tragic event that took one the best a brightest from us too soon. He will be part of my celebration of October 5 until I no longer celebrate here in this world. Then I will be able to celebrate in heaven with him. His beautiful spirit will ever live on. Love you D-Man, and miss you each and every moment of every day! Elizabeth
