Dylan and Piggy Beads

[LoriGreenberg]

Hi All.

Another sad post. Here is a very nice email from Dylan's mother:

Hello Jean,

We wanted to send a HUGE THANK YOU to all that sent Dylan the piggy beads. He really loved them all. We have them in a glass jar so that we can look at all of them. Dylan passed away on May 8th, peacefully in our arms at home. We miss his little smiles and laughs each day. The piggies made him smile and have something to look forward to getting. If you could pass on this message to all of the wonderful artist that made him a pig and the wonderful, witty notes we would appreciate it.

The list below is from all of the notes we received with the piggies. Please accept our sincere thank you to everyone and for those that we missed we apologize. We will enjoy the piggies for a very long time as a rememberance for Dylan.

[I edited out the beadmakers names as perhaps some like to stay anonymous. There were 36 named in all].

I have attached a couple pictures of Dylan with his brother Logan.

Thank you!

Sigh - another one got his wings. Glad that the pigs gave him some joy!

My best to Dylan's family. In my minds eye, there is no pain where he is now and he is happy & cared for. I'm sorry it couldn't have been happy and cared for here in this plain of existence.

Thank you for letting us know, Lori.

I read this 3 times last night, and couldn't write anything because I teared up every time I tried. All my prayers go out to his family. I am really glad that they are keeping his beads, and that they meant so much to him and now to his family. May Peace be with Dylan, his friends and his entire family.

Thank you for sharing the note and pictures.
