I lost my best friend Dylan over the summer.  He had been my best friend since elementary school and we have had countless adventures and great moments over the years.  Dylan always made everyone who knew him laugh, and knew just what to say to bring life to every situation.  After recently visiting his gravesite, I noticed that many of the graves had memorial benches where loved ones could sit, pray and visit. Dylan's grave site has a tree directly next to it, where a bench could easily be placed in his honor. This bench would be the perfect place for his family and friends to visit him and reflect on their memories.  With this in mind, I would love nothing more than to raise the money to honor my friend and remember his life by purchasing a bench.  As a high school student, my funds are limited.  Although I would love to purchase this memorial fully on my own, it is not possible. The 2500 dollar goal will cover the cost of the memorial. No donation is too small.  If there are any additional funds raised, the proceeds will go directly to the Dutkowsky family to offset any additional funeral expenses they may have incurred.
