Hello Little Man,

It has been 3 years to the day today that you have been away from home. I think about getting to hold you again everyday. Luckily we have your little sister around to keeps us very busy. She is so much like her big brother. We see you in her everday and it makes me so happy to have that. We love you so much and know you are in good hands. Goodnight little man. Until next time.

With Love,

Dad

Oh Dexter, We're all in Dexter Thought today. What joy you brought us! It's comforting to know that we'll see you again. Mom and Dad will be with you again.
Yes, Matilda is gorgeous! That Mom and Dad of yours sure make beautiful babies. You'd never have known that Matilda was born 1lb 13 ozs! She's got the look - I mean chubby cheeks. I love that look. You had it too. Kissable beautiful cheeks. Let Mommy and Daddy know you're there and watching over them. We love them so. Love, Aunt Renee, Uncle Vince and your big by cousins - Taylor, Zachary and Jameson (Amber and Kristin too!)

Hello My little Man Grandson; Well, this is the day you left us some three years ago. Wow, do I miss you or what? I know you are keeping yourself really busy up there and I can hardly wait to see you again. Save me a good spot, won't you!!

You should see your little sister. Boy is she beautiful. She looks a lot like you. I wonder where she gets her good looks. I love you soooo much and think about you all the time. You have a great MOM and DAD and they are taking really good care of Matilda as they did you. I love you, my special Grandson. Grama Wattles

Hello my special little Nephew,

I've been thinking about you. Yes we did get to see your little sister Matilda. She's just gorgeous and a little chubby too! Oh I loved those cheeks of hers. She does look like you. I'm sure that makes you proud to have your sister take after you. She keeps Mom and Dad sooo busy. She doesn't like riding in cars as much as you so she makes Mom and Dad take the plane when they come visit. They'll be here next month. I can't wait. Your sister will be nearly 1! I miss you Dexter and I know you can feel it. I sure love your Mommy and Daddy. I should tell them more often. Love Aunt Renee (squeezer hugs and kisses)

Happy Birthday Little Man,

Time sure does go by fast. You have sent your little sister down here to watch over us. She is so much like you. We love her very much. I am so jealous of her, she was just with you not more than 6 months ago. Your Mommy and Daddy truly miss you Little Boy. Happy Birthday Dexter. I look forward to the day we get to be together again. I love you Little Man.

First Time I've checked your web site in awhile. I am thrilled to read that your mommy and daddy have a little baby girl. They have so much love to give and share and I am happy for them. She will have her own little place in their hearts but no one will every replace you. The wonder of love is that it is not a diminishing supply but increases when given away.

Oh Dexter,

I've been thinking about you alot lately. You are still missed so greatly by your family here on earth. You brough us so much happiness little man, and multiply that by a million for your parents. I hear Matilda is actually getting a tiny bit chubby. I'll have to see it to believe it. Your birthday is coming up. It will always be a special day for me. Wouldn't it be nice if we could just sneak a little peak of you in Heaven? Good night my special little nephew and happy birthday on Sunday. I love you Dexter ~~~~~~~~Aunt Renee

I've been in "Dexter Thought" lately. You are missed greatly. Give that little sister of yours an angel kiss for me. I'm only a state away but I haven't yet seen her and I know you see her constantly. There's someone else that can use your angel kisses-you know who I mean. Thinking of you with love ~ Aunt Renee

Hello Little Man,

It has been a little while since I have stopped by. You have now got yourself a little sister. Her name fits well with yours. It is Baby Girl Matilda. She is spending sometime in the hospital also. She obviously wants to be just like her big brother and spend time in the hospital just like you. When I hold her close I can smell a bit of you on her. It is very familiar. I miss it very much. I know you must have told her all about us cause she obviously couldn't wait full term to be with us! We miss you very very much little man. You are my best friend. I love you!

Well Dexter, You're a big brother! Mommy and Daddy had your baby sister this past evening (Monday 12th), I haven't heard the time yet but I know that she is very tiny (1pound, 13 ounces) and struggling. I bet she's a fighter like you and I know you're watching over her. I bet you had some good times, you and her, before she made her entry this past evening. Can you let us in on her name? I'm sure we'll hear soon. So much is going on right now and the next few days and hours are critical. Mommy and Daddy need comfort right now. Let them know you're there, K.

We're thinking of you, little man. Love, Renee

Hanna and Kevin-
Just letting you know I am thinking of Dexter and you two today. I miss him terribly and now realize how lucky I was to be able to see him as often as I did. I was telling a lady at work about how special he was and told her to check out this site. I just remember how excited and enthusiastic I was when I was telling her about him and how well he did through all of his treatments. He was amazing and I know he loved me and I look forward to playing with him again.
Love you guys-

Since We don't make new entries anymore, I thought I'd update through the guestbook. Kevin and Hanna are pregnant! Hanna's 17 weeks already. I know they are on cloud 9. Hanna's been experiencing morning sickness throughout the entire day, but she's been tolerating food better lately. She mentioned that she'd gained 7 pounds already and thinks she's a porker. I'll have to remind her that I had gained over 20 by that point! We're all so excited we can hardly wait to see Dexter's baby sister (or brother). Can you tell what my guess is?

We miss you terribly, Dexter. Love you forever with huge squeezer hugs, Vince,, Renee, Taylor, Zachary & Jameson...XXXXXXXOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

My dear Dexter,

Someone sent me an e-mail today. Their little boy is in the hospital fighting the same cancer. His mommy said that she watched your "movie" . I just had to watch it again as I have so many times before. I cried again. I want you to know that when I cry I only mean to say that I love you and I miss you so much. Your light still shines. I see it everywhere - especially in Mommy's and Daddy's eyes. I forgot to write on your birthday and I am sorry. You were on my mind the whole day though. I sent Mommy and Daddy a card because I wanted them to know that you are on our minds all the time and I know that they miss you so very much.

I love you - little man,

Dear Hanna, Kevin, and Renee,

I have been thinking about you during the holidays. They are so tough to face, but I hope you're doing okay. By the way, I have borrowed a phrase from your family. It's kind of a long story, so bear with me...

Keegan is buried in Dallas near where Jaimie and I live, but our family all lives in Cincinnati. Recently, a cemetery in Cincinnati dedicated an angel statue to babies who died before they turned one. So that our family could have a place to "visit" with Keegan, we had a paver installed in his memory under the statue. The paver says "Baby Keegan Morrison - Familes are Forever!" The whole "families are forever" idea is so simple, but those three words have sustained me in some of the worst times.

Thanks for sharing your family and especially your beautiful Dexter with us. He was so very precious - those blonde curls and big, brown eyes always make me smile. I really hope you are hanging in there!

Love,
Kathy

Well, little man, here it is just 2 days after Christmas and all I can think about is my sweet little Grandson up there with Heavenly Father and resting in the arms of Jesus. Another year has passed and I still can hear your little giggle. It fills my heart with joy! Keep watching over Mommy and Daddy, won't you!! I love you dear sweet little man. Forever, Granma Wattles

I am touched by Dexter's story and I thank you for taking the time to sign my grandaughter Lily's guestbook. Lily has lived in the ICU for nearly a year and has been through many surgeries and procedures also. The cancer has returned and is now in her spine and brain. I know you understand the devastation our family is going through. Isn't it something how these little angels of ours bring so many people together and touch so many lives. Cancer may be able to destroy the body, but it can not destroy the soul, and it makes our love grow even deeper. Thank-you for sharing your story and pictures of your beautiful son Dexter. Love is forever.

Hello Little Man,

It has now been a year. Many people have expressed to us that the year mark is the point everything will get easier. Well I am here to attest that that is not correct. I miss you more than I ever did. I miss the way you would walk up to me and grab my finger to lead me wherever you wished to go. I miss sitting next to you on the sidewald as you told me all the things that were on your mind. You are my best friend Little Man. I pray for the day to come sooner that we will be together again. I love you Little Man. Come see your Mommy and Daddy sometime.

Love,
Dad

Hello to my dear Sis and Bro (in law)- I can't believe it has been a year. It just seems like a while ago I was playing with Dexter the weeks before he passed. He intently put stickers all over my face while breathing his sweet breath inches away, we dressed him up in girl clothes, we watched sesame street with harry the horse and willy wonka's chocolate factory over and over again when he wasn't feeling good, he went through my purse and suitcase, we dressed him up as Mr. Potato head and he rolled around all over the soft blankets we were making, always being careful that his fat little toes didn't get stuck by the pins. I miss him so much. Me and his favorite Aunt Tara have been put out of our photography and costume jobs since he's been gone. I think everyday as the planes fly over my house how much he would enjoy watching them and the kids playing in the playground next door how many times he would go up and down the slide if he were here. But he is in heaven, playing with his brothers and sisters and cousins. Heavenly Father has really watched over this family this past year and one day we will clearly know why this trial came to this wonderful little family. Miss you two and especially your little boy. Love- Aunt Laura

My Dear Sweet Grandson Dexter: Words cannot tell you how much I miss you and your energetic smile. It has almost been a year now since you left us here on earth to live with your Heavenly Father. I think of you everyday, especially at nite when it is time to go to sleep. Mommy and Daddy are carrying on like the troopers you remember so well. Keep watching over them, as I know you are doing each day. I will always remember you and never, never forget all the joy you brought into my life. Forever and ever, Gramma Wattles

Oh little Dexter,

I know that you are missed so much by so many. You've been gone for nearly a year now. I think of you all the time and your mommy and daddy. It was so nice to be with all the family a few weeks ago in SLC. Mommy and Daddy made a donation to Primary Children's Medical Center. They donated several Game cube play stations that roll into the children's bedrooms on the immunocompromised floor. It was so good to see the children's faces light up when they came in to play the new games at the donation ceremony. They were so tired from chemo, yet their little faces totally lit up as they played Mario Cart. They almost looked like they were full of energy for a brief while. Of course their little bald heads did give them away. Kevin and Hanna just glowed as they watched those children and as they knew you were with them. I just know you were up there grinning from ear to ear with that contagious smile of yours - wanting to push all those control buttons. I can't wait for the next donation from the familly foundation. We're working on the name, but for now, it's the Wattles Family Foundation serving children and families.

I miss you my eternal angel.

Love, Aunt Renee

During our trip to Utah we visited Dexter's gravesite. It is a beautiful place with an amazing headstone. We could feel the peace and love that exists there. It was the first time I realized that Dexter and our son Carter both came and left this life in the same months as eachother. Your family is special to us and we were so happy to be able to make this visit. I regret that we forgot to take the Mr.Incredible figure that we intended to leave. We will do that on the next trip!

We're waiting for them to come back to Utah for a visit when they make the Play Stations donation to Primary Children's Medical Center. That will be exciting! Your family made such an impact on Primary Children's. We miss you, little man.

Good Night,

I love you both with all my heart and know that you were the most wonderful parents a little guy like Dex could have. You will always be his parents and the love and care you gave him while he was here on this earth was like that of our savior. And who could ask for more? I love you both and you are in my prayers daily!! Lo ve forever, MOM

Kevin my brother,

I wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you on this most difficult Father's Day. You are a wonderful father. I know that is why our Heavenly Father placed his most favored child with you for such a short while. He knew that Dexter would live his 29 months with the most wonderful love that anyone could imagine. There is a purpose in all things. I love you, my little brother. I still sit in Awe as I reflect on the love and the strength and the life that you and Hanna gave to your prescious baby.

I love you,

I miss you taking me by my finger and showing me all the things that you wanted. I would give anything in the world to just have another moment with you. I look forward to the day that we will sit outside together and play. The time could not go fast enough between now and when we see you again. I love you Little Man. Goodnight.

This is Dexter's Day! It will forever be Dexter's Day and I'll push for it to be proclaimed a National Holiday! Well, it should be and I would if someone would listen. We wish we could be with you on this most special day. Hanna and Kevin, We love you and miss you since you've moved away. It just isn't the same. It's a little emptier here without you. We're thinking of Dexter and releasing a balloon to travel up to Dexter to let him know that we miss him and will continue on until we see him again. That day will come and how beautiful it will be!

To you, my sweet baby Nephew, and to my heros-my Brother and Sister-in-law,

We're thinking of you today as we do often. We reminised of times with you and Mommy and Daddy not long ago. I just loved to sit back and watch you play and try and keep up with the big boys and boy did you! I wathced as you grew sick and agonized just seeing and thinking of the pain that both you and Mommy and Daddy were in. I think about the joy that you brought into your parents life and I smile. I think about the joy that you brought into my life and I smile even more. Your Mommy and Daddy's courage and strength was amazing. They don't even know how much that they themselves have touched and changed mine and every one else's lives. That's just the way they are. They don't even realize how much we have changed because of you, Dexter, and because of them. I love you little guy and I so love your parents. Keep building that kingdom up there, for us, ok!

Love,

Aunt Renee and Uncle Vince and all your crazy cousins!

Dexter, Mommy and Daddy-
I just wanted to let you all know that I am thinking of all of you today. It's been about six months since you left and in some ways I just want to think I haven't been able to see you because we live in different states, but that wouldn't stop me from seeing you. I miss you just as much as when you left. I know Mommy and Daddy miss you the most and no one could ever understand how much. I can't help but think of you all the time. So many little things in my life are tied to a wonderful memory with you. I can't help but want to share a chocolate bar with you when I see one, or think of this summer and swimming pools without you, or the dress up closet at grandma and grandpa's, or the excitement I felt when you would come in my room in the morning and wake me up when I was visiting, or how handsome you were a year ago in your tuxedo at Uncle Zeb's wedding. You brought so much joy to my life and other's. Joy I can't wait to feel again when I see you again. I know many people are thinking of you and your parents today. Your Mommy and Daddy are so special to me. Your Mommy is my best friend and through all this she has kept a smile on my face. She is a strong woman with so much faith. Your Daddy is also a great friend to me. If I had BFF bracelets, he'd be wearing one. Let the prayers of all those who love this little family be felt today on Memorial Day. Love you all- Aunt Laura

I didn't know exactly when he left this life, but I remember thinking about you a lot in November because that is also Evan's birthday, and it was our first birthday with out him. I am so sorry! I just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts a lot lately and I hope you are doing well.
Denette Stanger gave me Dexter's site. I will continue to enjoy reading about your angel. You're welcome to come see Evan's site: www.caringbridge.org/ut/evanmartin.

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for all of your support and coments. Hanna and I are doing well. Today is 5 months since our Little Man passed away. We sure do miss him. I can't count how many times in a day I think about him. As time passes it doesn't seem to be getting any easier. We had a chance to go up to Primary Childrens Hospital on Easter Sunday and deliver packages to each little child that has unfortunately checked in for treatment over the holliday. I always get mixed feelings everytime I go in there. There is a sense of confort and pain when I see the children in there. I apreciate everyone that thinks about our son. I want him to live on forever!

My dear handsome little Nephew,

I'm sitting here on Easter Day thinking about you as I find myself doing everyday. I know that you are so happy. We got to see your mommy and daddy yesterday. They're so funny. It wouldn't be half as fun without them. You know we all think that your daddy would be such a good actor. He's hilarious! And your Mommy, she's always thinking of everyone else first. She's right there making us feel good or better about ourselves. Dexter, you sure picked right when you picked those two for your parents. Well, I love you little prince and I'll be thinking about you every day.

Hugs and kisses,

Dexter,

Next to praying, this is my one way of talking to you. I want you to know that I love you and you are in my thoughts every day. I still can not hold the tears back. I am trying to make your short little life (in my own mind)give me a beautiful peaceful feeling and leave a smile on my face rather than tears in my eyes. You always left me with a smile on my face each time I was blessed to see you, my sweet baby Nephew. We are all trying to make a difference in your name.

Loving you always, Aunt Renee

We feel so lucky when your Mommy and Daddy let us hang out and "check up" on them. Thanks for being our inspiration to stay strong and become better poeple. Our prayers are still with your family.

Dexter's Beloved Ones....You are in my thoughts and prayers. I never met him but I surely miss the "little guy" who brought so much love and joy to those who did have the chance to know him and to be blessed with his presence. The writings of his "antics," the precious pictures, his fighting spirit and courage continue to inspire. His life, though brief in this world, touched more people in a positive way than many of us ever will in a lifetime.

I forgot to add, that Dexter was the most amazing little dare devil. I can't believe he would jump off those rocks. I wouldn't even do it. Hum, I wonder what Dexter is doing right now. He has to be jumping off something, racing his tricycle, riding an ATV, something adventurous and crazy. Kisses to you Dexter, Aunt Renee again

Just thinking about Dexter today, so I thought that I would write. I also wanted to tell you all how he helped me on December 30th. I was asked to play a waltz at a Winter Ball in memory of a friend (written for her by my fiddling partner John) who was tragically killed in a car accident last spring. John is known for writing difficult music, and I had never seen the music when I was asked to play it (for about 200 people, including the girl's parents). She was such a beautiful and vivacious person. I just wasn't sure that I could get through the music (emotionally, and just because it was difficult to play). Anyway, the music was based on Amazing Grace (the first couple of bars are the same and then John makes the music his own). As I played the first notes, I saw two things. The first thing I saw was Dexter. He was just there encouraging me and giving me strength. And then I saw Nicholas. Amazing Grace is his favorite song. I just kept hearing him sing the music. I don't think that I could have performed the music better if I had had a week to practice. It was a very powerful experience. I think of you often.
Love, Lara and Nicholas

The Lord sent His special angel Dexter to be placed in your loving arms, how special you must be! I wish I could have met little Dexter, but I too know that we will all be together in His Kingdom and hug and dance in the light. God bless you all, and I'll keep you in my prayers!

Merry Christmas my sweet Angel. I know you are here with us. It's so hard not being able to see you though I feel your presence. Keep watching over your Mommy and Daddy. We will all try our very hardest to help others and be extra aware of those in need. Sometimes we have to look extra hard to look outside of our own comfort zones to see, but you have helped us do that. I will always keep you on my mind in every day that I live on this Earth. You make me want to be a better person. When I see you again, I'm going to give you such a big Squeezer Hug! I love you Dexter. Prepare a place for all of us in Heaven. We'll see you soon.

You as parents must be very strong individuals in our Heavenly Fathers eyes - to have been given such a trial and also blessing. We are so glad to have been in the Alta Vista ward for this last year and become acquainted with your family. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful and tender movie with us and many others!

Your angel has many friends with him. Our precious Aubrea became an Angel on November 7, 2005. She also suffered through ATRT so our family shares in your extreme pain. It was difficult (to say the least) to see such a vibrant, beautiful baby go through the things they did...but they ditd and they were brave and sweet and loving through every step. They set an example for everyone and truly touched so many lives.

Please know, you are in our thoughts and prayers and we know our angels are playing together in Heaven. They have a special "club" we believe, and they will be there with open arms when it is our turn to join them. until then, we endure and move forward as best we can.

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that we are thinking about and praying for you. Even though we did not get to be around Dexter much, we felt of his great spirit and strength. We alos felt of Heavely Fathers great love for him and for you two.

From the very first time I met Hanna, I knew she would would some day be a great mother. Heavenly Father put his great trust in you two and gave you a beautiful gift to have for a while named Dexter.

Thank you for your strength and love. If you need anything, please give us a call.

We love you both.

Hi Hana and Kevin, I ran the marathon in Dexter's memory on December 11th. It was the hardest thing that I have done in a physical since. As I waited to begin the marathon at 5:00 in the morning I looked at the sky and saw the beautiful stars and said a little prayer. I had Dexter�s Picture pined to my shirt and many people loved it, it was Dexter in his suit. As I ran up the side of the Diamond Head volcano on the tenth mile I was feeling great and knew that I was going to make it. As I reached the 22nd mile and had to run up the side of that volcano again I felt as I was going to lose my legs. I said Heavenly Father help me make it. As I said those words Dexter�s picture that was pinned on my back flipped up and hit me on my head. I smiled and said �Thanks little guy I needed that". I knew then that I was not alone and Dexter was going to help me cross the finish line.
I like to thank you for letting me do this in his honor. I was in great pain when I finished, but it was worth it. I meet many wonderful people that where supporting the cause. I shared with them how close I had become with Dexter through his web site. I may not have seen him, but a few times, but I truly learned to know and love him.
I will be mailing the medal I promised Dexter, because in reality that belongs to both of you for the great faith that you both have in Heavenly Father. I admire both you and Kevin for all you have endured and I thank both of you for that great example you have been in my life.
Dexter will always have a special place in my heart, and I will always remember his loving smile.
I will continue to keep both of you in my prays.
I know without a doubt that Dexter is with our Heavenly Father sharing that beautiful smile of his.
Thank you once again for allowing me to accomplish this great goal in our little Angles behalf.

chance to know and love your son.He will never be forgotten.I printed the picture in his little tux and i keep it here on my desk..Please know our thoughts and our prayers continue to be with you.God Bless you.

Kevin and Hanna,

We spoke back when Dexter was first diagnosed (our son is Sean - also battled ATRT)...I have kept reading your sister's updates and prayed for your family. I am so very saddened that Dexter's battle was so painful. I just watched the video with my husband and we both felt like we were watching our own videos of Sean...it was just beautiful. I am crying tears of pain and sadness over your loss and yet there is a joy in having seen Dexter's gifts...touching every person he came in contact with. I am often confused as to why one child survives ATRT and one does not, but I am sure that Dexter is an angel with Sean and watching over him.

We are praying for your family and hoping that you are surrounded by the love and support of many.

Denver, CO - Sunday, December 11, 2005 4:34 PM CST

I'm not exactly sure how I found Dexter's web site the first time but for almost six months to the day I regularly checked on his progress and prayed for him and his family. From the very beginning, something about Dexter touched my heart and I would find myself thinking of him and his family all during the day. It seemed incredible to believe that all the while that Dexter was living each day to the MAX, he was also waging a valiant battle against a formidable force. It was with great sadness that I learned the little angel had left his earthly home and family but it was with much joy that I realized that he is in the very presence of Jesus who loves him even more than all of the people whose lives he has touched in the short time he was on this earth. The video captures what a special little guy he was. His curiosity, zest for life, and ingenuity were evident in those pictures. Seeing him trying to "play doctor" with whatever he was trying to put in his Mommy's nose and his putting the Q-tips in his Dad's ears cracked me up. Dexter and Hanna and all of the family and friends who loved this Angel, my deepest sympathy to you. I don't understand why he had to leave you so soon but I pray that your memories of shared experiences with him will warm your hearts and bring you solace and joy in the days ahead. I miss him, too.

Hanna and Kevin- I looked at the rhabdoid angels page for the first time today. Dexter was such a fighter and it took longer for the tumor to kill him than many others. We are all so lucky that we had him for so long and that we had a happy, seemingly healthy little boy to enjoy that whole time. I miss him so much and have the sketched picture of him in my office and look at it often as I work. I can't help but be consumed with happy memories of him. Nothing else, save spending precious time with him has brought me more joy in my life. Thanks for sharing him with me and letting Aunt Laura come and visit whenever she wanted. I love you guys and pray and think about you all the time. Love- Laura

Again, I am so sorry to hear of your loss, but it is only temporary. Thanks to Jesus Christ we never really feel loss, just temporary good-byes.

Even as I sit here now, I'm not sure saying sorry is enough, but I am truely sorry for your loss. What a handsome little boy who showed such strength, courage and determination!

Dear Little Precious Angel Dexter, These past few months the story of your journey and that of your family has touched my heart in inexplicable ways. When I think of you I think of a record I heard many, many years ago by Red Foley ("Steal Away, Steal Away to Jesus.") In the narration, the preacher at the funeral of their son spoke to the parents. He stated "The Lord knew you needed some sunshine so He lent him for awhile." Little Dexter, you have been a sunshine. Looking at your precious pictures has warmed my heart many times. I pray that the sweet memories of you that your loved ones hold, the knowledge that you are no longer in pain, and that they will some day be reunited with you will help to comfort their hearts. We grieve...but not as those who have no hope...for death has been swallowed up in VICTORY.

Our deepest sympathy, Hanna and Kevin. You had a road of pain for the last 2 years. Just remember the good times you were able to enjoy with Dexter. And always remember you will be able to spend time with Dexter again for eternity. Heavenly Father needs Dexter up with him now, but Heavenly Father did give you some time to be with Dexter. Time you will always cherish, I'm sure. Your families have touched so many of us with the stories of Dexter. Dexter's loss will be felt by all. I am so sorry. You guys take care and remember this is for the best. He is better off with Heavenly Father. No more pain. You all have suffered so much. Just look at how many people love you. Words cannot express to you how deeply sorry I am. I love you guys and will always remember your families in my prayers.

Hanna and Kevin, my heart hurts to learn the passing of Dexter. I know the road was not easy for our little Dexter, but now he is in Heavenly Fathers arms without pain and feeling greater then ever. Our Heavenly Father has plans for our precious little angel, plans that we do not know or maybe not even comprehend, but when we meet our precious little Dexter again we will understand why he was called at such a young age. My family�s prayers go out to both of you as well as the rest of the family. May our Father in Heaven bring comfort to all the people feeling the lost of this precious angel, because he passing is felt by many.
I will be running a marathon in Hawaii in Dexter's behalf in order to help in finding a cure for those that continue to fight against this terrible sickness.
I will be thinking of Dexter on December 11th as I cross the finish line knowing that He crossed it with me. I am very honored to be able to do this in Dexter behalf.

It was great to see you Hanna, the spirit of Heavenly Father shines from you.
The many people that are praying for your family feel that great faith that both of you have.
I was so glad to hear that Dexter will be able to get the treatment he needs at home.
Heavenly Father does hear our prayers and is there for us when we least expect it.
My love goes out to each of you and my thoughts are always with you.

So good to hear that the radiation treatment that Dexter needs can be found at home. There's no place like home! We've been on vacation, and as soon as we got back Nicholas was hospitalized for a couple days. It was very scary, but he is doing well now. I'm working on an update for his page. It's just taking me a while to put it together.

We always think about Dexter and pray for him to be cancer free.

Thinking of little Dexter every single day and praying for God's mercy on this dear little family. There seems to be so much love surrounding all of you. Praying so hard for Dexter and his doctors as he continues his treatment. Thanks Aunt Renee for keeping Dexter's site updated.

Kevin and Hanna~ I was jsut checking in on little Dex's page today. I can't even imagine all the different decisions you guys are trying to make right now- I know it must be overwhelming. Please know that what ever decision you guys (as Dexter's Mom and Dad) make, that is the right one for you. We will be behind you guys 100%. We love you, and will see you guys soon!
