Our sincere sympathy is with ALL of you at this time. I look out our kitchen window everyday and see the river rocks "Jimbo" got us many years ago. I remember so well the day he knocked on our door and wanted to know IF we would like him to bring us some river rock to border our flower garden. I can still see him carrying those large stones and putting them exact where I wanted them. I think he was about 14 years old at the time. One of those stones has now been turned into a "memory" stone for "Jimbo"
"Jimbo" was a great neighbor the many years he lived in our neighborhood.

I remember you telling me how lucky you were to have been able to meet your grandson James Henley Dean. Hopefully he will grow up to have some of your good traits. I love you alot!!!

To the entire Dean and Webb family,
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Jimbo was a wonderful man and had a gift to make anyone laugh on the gloomiest day. I am sure he is smiling down on each of you now. Please let me know if I can do anything.
