Please keep Dylon Holmes and Madison Holmes in your prayers. Dylon passed away this morning due to health complications. He received Amanda's kidney on April 26th, 2003. He was 9 years old. The first time I met Dylon he was still in the hospital when he receive his kidney. It was 14 years ago, today. He was so excited because he could drink Dr. Pepper again after getting the kidney. We have memories of him coming and staying at our house many times. He even spent a couple of Thanksgivings with us. I truly believe he was one to the strongest people I know. He battled health issues his entire life, yet he seldom complained and just wanted to live life to the fullest. He was even a volunteer firefighter. He took on many challenges with a positive outlook on life.
Our hearts are with this family today, as they are truly a part of our family. Lots of Love!

We never know how God will use us to make the world a little better place. Tragedy is a tool we can use to gain strength and wisdom, it is never an excuse to give up.
Spend time with the people you love because tomorrow is not promised. We love and miss you Amanda!
