God bless all of you.

There were so many scared young men at HPHS that looked up to Dean. I had no idea what I was doing when I joined the gymnatstics team. As usual, Dean just gave me that "Dean" smile and told me that I'd be cool. I don't think I've ever met anyone as genuinely nice as Dean. He was just plain good people. I'm gonna miss him. I've known and loved the Bryant family for a long time. If there is anything you all need, just let the Patterson Family know. Give your cares and grief to God. He will keep you and see you through. Again, I love you guys and you are in my prayers.
