Lo, there do I see my father.
Lo, there do I see my mother.
And my sister and my brother
Lo, there do I see the line of my people
Back to the beginning.
Lo, they do call to me.
They bid me take my place among them
In the halls of Valhalla
Where the brave may live forever.

Dear Dittman Family,
Your precious Jarod was such a special young man and our hearts grieve with yours for the loss you bear. I, cousin Barb, always loved getting a hug and smile from Jarod. Though no one can or should fill his special place in our hearts, we rest in the hope of rejoining him and our Lord Jesus in Heaven for all eternity! Lovingly, Mike, Barb, Karissa, Ben and Dan
P.S. I'm sure he and our beloved David are having a grand reunion! :-) 1 Peter 1:3-9
