Dear Lady Mae - - -



We want you and your fine family to know that you and "The Deano" have been a never-ending great example of loving care for each other.



We have always enjoyed the love, warmth, and jovial companionship you two have displayed during many, many, difficult years, always radiating the brighter side of life.



Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Mae, - that Dean's change of life to live without the pain and suffering he experienced for so many, many years - will bring consoling peace to you at this time.
