George W. Dearborne

Vivian,
I know that it has been a year but God...our prayers are still with you. We miss the 'ole driving coach'. He was an exceptional man who cared for other youth like his own. I thank God for the opportunity to have been a part of the lives of the Dearbornes. - George and Ethel. Remember, God makes no mistakes so call Him anytime when times get tough...He knows and He cares.

Your blessings are in God's Bank...Jan & Phillip

Today is July 17, 2004. A day before my 37th birthday. I just found out today Coach that you left us 7 months ago. You need not worry about the impact you had on all the lives that crossed your path. All the times I wanted to quit football or leave Madison or just give up....But you wouldn't let me. Your impact in my life still echoes today and I thank God I was able to be touched by your hand. Time carries on and time alters our view but I am glad I spent some of my life with you. God Bless...

Blessings and prayers to the Deaborne Family.

Vivian & Family:

My heart felt sorrow to you and your family. George and I got to know each other and became closer in the last years through his and your dedication to the BTWAA. If I can speak for the rest, we will all miss him.

To Vivian and George Jr. and Family: Jesussaid, "Where two or three are gathered in my name,I am there among them." Be strong for God has not forsaken you. Love always.

To Coach Dearborne Family:Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy god is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Coach you will be greatly missed.

I have prayed a special pray for
the Dearborne's family. I had worked with Coach Dearborne for many years at Booker T. Washington.

As your family began a new journey in their life, I will keep you all in my prayers. I met Mr. Dearborne once through my husband, Alfred Kennedy, who spoke very highly of him. Always remember "Footsteps in the Sand", (Christ will carry you through this).

To the family of Coach Dearborne:
My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Coach Dearborne was an inspiration to me and he will live on in my heart. May God bless and keep you all.
