Dylan Leonard McGraw Dylan Leonard McGraw was a special child who will forever hold a   special place in our hearts. Dylan spent the totality of his short   precious life cared for in the NICU at Children’s Hospital by their   untiring and committed staff of nurses, physicians, therapists and   department staff. He loved his parents very much, the voice and kisses of those who   loved him, his baths and hair shampoos, massages and physical   therapy.  He survived eight surgical procedures, many tests and   assessments and was determined to spend the rest of his life with his   family and his pets. His little body could not keep up with his   desire to stay with us. We are better people for having this sweet   little boy in our life even for a short while; to share his desire to   survive and flourish, and to witness the perpetual miracle of family   love and the power of parental selflessness. Dylan was born on Sunday, Aug. 14, 2011, to Patrick and Jennifer   McGraw and died Monday, Oct. 17, 2011, at home in the arms of his   parents. In addition to his parents Dylan is survived by his   grandfather, Mark McGraw of Mequon; grandmother, Georgia Battermann   (James Battermann) of Mequon; and his great-grandmother McGraw.  He   is further survived by his Aunt Lizzy and Uncle Nick Pagenkopf, his   grandmother, Judy Pagenkopf; great-grandmother Shields; grandfather,   Don Josephson (Susan Josephson); great-grandmother Josephson; and a   multitude of extended relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his great grandparents, Rolland and   Katherine Bessey of Grafton, and three great-grandfathers. Funeral services were held at Krause Funeral Home in New Berlin on   Thursday, Oct. 20.  We are at peace knowing our sweet boy, Dylan, is   at peace, and bless the day he was born.  We look forward to Gods’   promise when we will be reunited with Dylan with joy and happiness.
