About Us

Dylan Rose  was born sleeping on November 9, 2010.  She was the infant daughter of Brad and Angie Matthiesen.

     Even though Dylan's eyes never opened, she opened the eyes of a group of ladies from Midkiff and St. Lawrence, Texas.  It was through the passing of this angel that these ladies became aware of the great need of grief support for bereaved couples that experience the loss of a child.         
  
...and so began ABC Ministry on March 1, 2011.

Remembrance Cards – ABC sends Remembrance Cards to the parents on the 1^st anniversary of
their angel’s death.
 
  

Most importantly, ABC provides PRAYER.  While the women are creating their personal item for the ministry, they pray for the family who will be receiving it.

The best and the most beautiful things in the world

cannot be seen or even touched. 

They must be felt with the heart.
