MAKE A WISH!

DYLAN RAISES HIS STAR

Today we had the chance to go with the Shaws to the Make a Wish Center in Salt Lake. It was a tender experience, that also was a reminder of many other children who are and have gone through their own struggles. It was a very emotional mix of happy, sad, excited, and overwhelmed. The wish granters were so sweet with our family, especially Dylan. THANK YOU!! I am SO thankful they get to go away together as a family & have fun. They deserve every second of this time together. I'm sure they will have words of their own to share about Make a Wish & lots of fun pictures of their trip to DISNEYWORLD! FINALLY Dylan is feeling better and will hopefully be able to really enjoy the trip :) Thank you for your love and prayers!! xo

Chels & Mandy - you are two of the most beautiful people I know, inside and out.

And Mandy, you are the strongest, most compassionate mother I have ever met. I'm so sorry you have to go through this, but you should be so proud of yourself. You're incredible.

Dylan Shaw

On July 12, 2011 Dylan D Shaw returned to a loving Heavenly Father after a brave 4 month battle with a brain stem tumor (DIPG).

Dylan was born Oct 17, 2001 to Ryan D Shaw and Mandy Jeppesen Shaw in Brigham City, Utah. He later moved to West Haven where he was a member of the Wilson 4th ward and loved being in primary and scouts there.

He loved the outdoors and fishing with his grandpas and especially spending time in Bear Lake with family.

Dylan was a very loving boy and touched the lives of many people. He had a great sense of humor and loved telling jokes and making people laugh. He loved playing football, basketball, playing with his friends and was a huge BYU and Denver Broncos fan but he especially loved being with his mom, he didn't want to be away form her for even a minute.

He taught us more in his nine short years of life than words can tell. We miss him every single day, and look forward to the day when we will all be together again!
