To my littlest brother,
Though we were not close in years, and miles kept us far apart, you were loved beyond measure. You will always live in my heart.
Love, Joannie

I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Dean's passing. I had tried with no luck to reach him at this time last year for a Somerville Trade School get together. I wish I had seen him one last time since it had been many years. Dean told me that he used to listen to the Elvis Costello song "Alison" in the morning before school that always made me smile as did Dean. I am sorry for the huge loss the Marshall family now faces with the passing of Dean. I will remember him forever with that smile on his face and "my" (our) song in my heart. Rest in Peace Dean XO...
