Diana Corbin asked Rev. Hobson to read two traditional prayers: the 23rd Psalm and Serenity, the prayer that asks God to grant man “the serenity to accept things I cannot change.” The scripture was read by Rev. Phil Bailey and the eulogy offered by Farmer. Farmer seemed to understand the outpouring of the people at this celebration noting “that’s the kind of people we are.”
In the middle of the football field, a display of photos and memorabilia of Dylan’s had been arranged. It included dozens of smiling photos of the young boy as he grew, his team shirts, awards and even a box of a favorite candy, Altoids. The program had a section with the things “Dylan loved” which ran from Allison Antony his girlfriend to football, to his grandmother and baseball.
Allison’s mother told the group that though parents have no right to choose their daughter’s boyfriends, if they did, Dylan would have been at the top of the list.
Three songs set the tone for the service: “Friend in Jesus” and “What if God Was One of us,” with its poignant question: “Just a stranger on the bus, trying to make his way home.” The celebration closed with everyone singing “Amazing Grace.”
Afterwards, the audience went to the gym where lunch had been provided by Sunnyside Farms, the Country Cafe and a $500 donation by the Rappahannock National Bank.
According to the family, Dylan “lives on through1 the donation of organs and tissue to LifeNet.”
