  10. Anita and to all of our family,

    So hard to believe and accept Dakota’s death, but we must.
    Our sincere condolences Anita, so much grief and heartache is overwhelming, know Jesus walks with you/ us.
    Dakota was such a tender hearted & sweet innocent young man. Smart, handsome, loyal, loving and caring person. Anita you taught him to be that kind of person.
    Too much grief has come to our family.
    Young people are to grow older & have families of their own. Hope for their future. Too many have died without having hope for a future.
    Dakota – I am sorry I have not been there for you- though I tried.
    My heart aches for our loss of you and not growing older and watching you have your own family. Sharing life here on earth.
    Our purpose is to Advocate, Love and encourage one another in Jesus Christ’s name, Amen
    I / we miss you Dakota, until we meet again in Heaven. Resting Peacefully.

    “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
    ‭‭John‬ ‭16:33‬ ‭KJV‬‬
    Love Aunt Punkin & Uncle Steve

  11. Anita I’m sorry to hear about Dakota. I often tell the story about a 10 or 11 year old kid asking what I was going to do with the 7 old school buses on my property when I was cleaning it up. I told him I had to get rid of them somehow thinking it was going to cost me a bundle to move them. He asked if he could have them if he moved them. I said he could, not expecting anything to happen. So I was shocked to find them gone one day and more shocked that he made over $3000.00 at the scrap yard back when scrap metal was at its peak.

  12. Anita I am so so sorry to hear about your loss of Dakota I cannot imagine what it would be like to lose a child so I pray God will grant you the comfort and peace you need to get through this I love you girl

  15. Dakota, I wish I d had more time to get to know you better. You had the prettiest skin and eyes, Blessed is the person that gets your personality was so charming, I can see you with your Father and other family members including my sweet Cody and others.I pray your Mom can see you everyday, in her dreams, a cardinal perches and sits a moment on a limb catches your Mom’s eyes, butterflies fluttering around. I loved you Bud. My heart hurts. Anita God be with you. I love you and your family.

  16. Anita,there is no words to tell you how sorry I am in the loss of your sweet Dokota.I know he was your world..you’re in my thoughts and prayers always.love you Anita

  17. Anita,friends & family , memories of Dakota will fill your hearts,slowly mending you day by day.try to dwell on the good times and the love you shared with each other.you all are in my prayers.

  18. Anita, Words cannot express my deepest condolences on the loss of Dakota. I feel so privileged in the few times I spent with him. He was a remarkable man. So kind, loving, intelligent, well mannered and protective of his mom and his loved ones.. All thanks to you and Wayne and the way you raised him! You could see in his eyes, his speech and his mannerisms how much he loved and adored you..and you him. Somehow, with the grace of God, and family and friends you will get through this.. You will never be over it and that’s ok.. It will be a new normal.. But everyone is here for you..take good care of yourself…please..
    With love, Sherry Clain
