Jill & Jonathon - We were enriched by knowing Dean. He always had a smile and an encouraging word that uplifted the Savior. What a wonderful man! Even though we sorrow, we don't sorrow as those that have no hope. Dean knew Jesus and is enjoying His presence completely - face-to-face!!

With Love, Kelland and Gail Lowry
