Dylan Mathews Obituary DYLAN MATHEWS, called home by our Lord after eight short days of life; cherished son of Thomas, Jr. and Missy (nee McCaughtry); beloved grandson of Peggy McCaughtry, Roger McCaughtry (Julie), and Thomas, Sr. Read Obituary
We are thinking of you and Missy and are so incredibly sorry for your loss. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
Dear Tom and Missy, All of us are heartbroken and deeply saddened by your loss. You have a great deal of strength and love to have gotten you this far, I only hope that it continues to flourish. Dylan was here for a short time, but we have all watched the two of you prepare for him and get to know him before he was born. He graced you with a brief glimpse of his soul with that gaze, and you have that to hold onto until you are with him again. The next days, months, and years will be tough, but always know that your friends are here, and that you have each other to depend on. You will not be walking this path alone, no matter what. God bless you and heal your hearts and souls....Love and Friendship, always, Christina
I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Deepest Sympathy, Beth Myers
Dear Tom and Missy, I am so very saddened to learn that Dylan was called to heaven just days after he came to you. It is not fair..or in anyway comprehendible. Tom, I donA¢??t know you well. I am only a A¢??regularA¢?A at your Starbucks, but I too was blessed with weekly and monthly updates as your family prepared for your son. I saw the joy in your heart swell over the last 10 months. Dylan will always be with you and I firmly believe that you will see him again. Tia said it best yesterday when she told me how precious your 8 days were. How you got to know your son, introducing him to music, love and the beauty in this world. You made a lifetime of memories, many happy memories. May they bring you comfort in your most difficult moments. I canA¢??t imagine what today, tomorrow or even the coming year will be for your family. Please know that IA¢??ve sent prayer requests out to every praying friend I have. Strangers are thinking and praying and wishing for your pain to be eased in some small way. I have a few friends who have lost children. There is a national support group called A¢??Compassionate FriendsA¢?A that may interest you at some point. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Thank you for allowing your friends to share your fears, joys, set-backs, and victories during Dylan's life. You demonstrated grace, strength, love, and hope as his parents. I hope you will continue to feel the love and support from friends, family, and God our Father as you face the days ahead.
You are in our thoughts and prayers during this time of sorrow. Dylan is now with the angels looking down on us all.
Thinking of you both and wishing you hope in the midst of sorrow, comfort in the midst of pain. With heartfelt sympathy.
