Hey Dean! Still remembering you. I still come across some of the things you did at work. Just letting you know you were a good worker and you definitely built stuff to last and you won't be forgotten.

To the Boone Family, I am so sorry for the lost of a great coach and a personal friend. He will always be remembered for his wisdom and his kindness. I will miss him dearly at church and at all of the atheletic activities. God Bless the Family of Coach Boone

After you passed away I gave a few things away to some different people, everyone seemed to like what they got and I know you would have given the same pieces to the same person. So I felt good about that. Its kinda sad thou how things have turned out, you said they would be like this and you were right. oh well Ive tried. I luv you Hun Bun, You were an awsome husband and my best friend.

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

Life does go on and people & things change. There are so many things I miss not having you here, but most of all is just you. I know you are up in heaven looking down on all of us, your crazy wife & your crazy family. We all used to have so much fun together. I miss that deep belly laugh you used to get when you & Kenny would pick on each other. Sherry & Kim you always had fun with them too. Anyway everyone misses you. I love you with all my heart. Never stop watching over us we all still need you. I love you Dean

It's Labor Day weekend, which means another party. Which equals another one without you. You know, I haven't gotten like this in awhile. Usually, when I think about it I tell myself "don't worry, he's in a better place. This was meant to be." but tonight was different. I don’t even know what made me feel this way. But I was in the kitchen sitting on my boyfriends lap and Kenny came over and hugged me. And I didn’t want to let go. I thought of the way that I couldn’t hug you ever again or do anything with you. And it hit me. I don’t know, I guess I didn’t really think about it before. I didn’t realize that I’d never ever get to see you again. But now, that's changed. I wish I never realized it. I could have lived my life without knowing that and having this feeling. I don’t know, I guess what I’m trying to say is that I wasn't ready to face the truth, but the truth hurts and I’m starting to figure that out step by step day by day. I love you and I miss you dean and I wish you were still here with us. I really wish you could meet my boyfriend, too. You'd love him. I know I do. He treats me really good and he's really sweet to me. Alot of people would say that i'm too young to feel like that or that im too young to be in love. but look at you and rose, you two were like the perfect couple. I really, really wish that you could meet him. I showed him the little light thingy that you made. He said that you did a good job and he wanted to do wood work. Maybe if you were here you could teach him. But, that’s not even a possibility right now. But anyway, I miss you lots. Come visit my dreams sometime.

Love, amber.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

September 9, 1985 we were married. We grew up together. I thought we would be together forever, but forever never came for us. Thank you Hun-Bun for the 20 years we did have. I loved you Dean so much. I think about you everyday. I miss you. It has been so hard going places that we usually went together. I just wanted to write and tell you Happy Anniversary. This year would have been 22 years. I think some people think I have moved on easily, but every day since the Angels came and took you home has been a struggle. I love you Dean. Love. Rose

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

As usual I am thinking of you sweetie. Tomorrow is the day you were born. What a short time we had you with us. What do I remember about you? Your quirky smile, the mischief in your eyes,the thoughtful kind ways you had with people, your gentle talented hands, there are so many things I could list. I cherish most those last days I was able to be with you and I am most saddened that I was not with you when you left us. That will always be heavy in my heart. You are missed and loved as always and forever. You and your dad celebrate your birthday in heaven and we will be thinking of you here on earth.
I love you dearly.

I think I'm the only one at this point who has thought about it.I guess everyone else is trying to forget what happened. Me? I can't. and I don't want to. Yeahh,sure. I want to forget the worst of it all. But i don't want to forget you in all peices. I still have those memories of taco bell and the beach. and I'll always keep them with me. no matter what.

The memory of Dean as an adult is not there for me, only as a young adolescent struggling to please those around him.
Some aspire to great heights and achieve them only to fade in flashes of memory. But, I deeply remember those who humbly give and try desperately to fit in. There, for me, is Dean, quiet smiling and ever so willing. For this vision I carry of him I am profoundly grateful. He has unknowingly, by giving of himself touched my life and those who loved him.

Dean,
The anniversary of your death is upon us. One year later and your passing is still so fresh in my mind. This is for you sweetie:
I DID NOT DIE:
DO NOT STAND ON MY GRAVE A WEEP
I AM NOT THERE I DO NOT SLEEP
I AM A THOUSAND WINDS THAT BLOW
I AM THE DIAMOND GLINTS I THE SNOW
I AM THE SUNLIGHT ON RIPENED GRAIN
I AM A GENTLE AUTUM RAIN
WHEN YOU AWAKEN IN THE MORNING HUSH
I AM THE SWIFT UPLIFTING RUSH
I AM THE BIRDS IN CIRCLED FLIGHT
I AM THE SOFT STARS THAT SHINE AT NIGHT
SO DO NOT STAND ON MY GRAVE AND CRY
I AM NOT THERE - I DID NOT DIE
This is the way I will always think of you. You will always surround us and be with us and watch over us. We have a very special guardian angel. We'll see you again one day, until then Rest in Peace.

Ronnie Mumford

Just wanted to share something with you all. It's been years since we lost our mother and even longer since my father passed but I must tell you that I especially miss them during the holidays like this. This was my mother's favorite time of the year. Trust that Dean is with you all in spirit and make sure to really take the time to let the rest of your family know that you love them. We will never know when God needs us to come to him.
Happy Holidays all....Stay safe . Love all of you.

Hun-Bun I miss you so much, and will always love you with all of my heart. There will never be a day the same as it was when you were here with me, with us. Thank you for being my best friend and the most wonderful husband anyone could ever hope for. I was always so proud of you. Thanks for taking such good care of me thru the years. Your ornament is on the tree with your name on it shinning bright just like your smile. I miss your laugh and those beautiful green eyes and those hard working hands,and your bubble butt. I miss your hugs you always gave the best hugs. Just like your Mom. I love you Hun-Bun Love Mudd

My Little Dean,
Christmas is almost here. It will be hard for all of us this year. We will miss you sorely. I will be in Virginia with the family for the fist time in years and the empty space at the table will be yours. How can you be sad and happy at the same time? Our smiles will be there but sadness will be in our eyes thinking of the one we are missing. I constantly think of you and wonder what happened. I wish I could have been there for you and helped you. I feel like I let you down. I'm sorry sweetie. If tears could build a stairway to heaven, I would climb them and bring you home again. Merry Christmas, honey. You are missed and Loved each and every day.
Watch over us and keep us safe for you are our guardian angel now.
Love, Sandy

Uncle Dean, you are an extraordinary, caring and special person whom I thought of often. It has been more than 12 years since I have seen you, right before I left the military. A person rarely realizes how fragile life is and how quickly time passes until the time you could have had is gone. I miss all of my family there in VA and I hope to see everyone again. I have and I will miss you, Uncle Dean and I know I will think of you often and remember you the way you were so long ago. Time passes so quickly before our eyes and we often find ourselves staring back into those lost moments forever frozen in our memories. Though I am sad that you have passed on, my heart finds some ease knowing that your suffering has ended and you are in a special place where we will all see you again. You will always be remembered.

Miss and love you all.

There are good ships, wood ships and ships that sail the sea....

But the best ships are friendships, and they will always be !

Happy Birthday Dean

Tomorrow it will be 2 months since you left us. Not a minute has gone by that I do not think of you.Your loss still hurts so much.It's hard for me to understand why but you will always be in my heart and mind. I know you are in a place where you no longer suffer and I am glad that part is over for you.You were always with me when you were born and you will always be with me in my heart and mind now.I love you. Wait for me sweetie, we'll all be together someday.

Farewell to my dearest brother-in-law....Psalms 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. Dean Boone had trusted Christ as his Savior and therefore was one of God's precious saints. Dean was very strong physically and could build or make anything with his hands. God gave Dean this awesome talent and he used it to the best of his ability. He was indeed a hard working man. Although we all have our struggles in life....God remains faithful. Let us all learn that our time here on earth is short. As the Bible states..."What is your life but a vapor that appears for a little while then vanishes away." May we all learn to redeem the time and do all we can to make a difference for the cause of Christ. As Christians, it is our duty. After all, everything else will one day vanish away. As someone wisely stated, "Only one life will soon be past, only what's done for Christ will last." My thoughts and prayers are with the Boone family; and also my beautiful little Sissy, Rose. I love you Girl! Vickie McClung :)

To Rose and the Boone Family, Dean was a wonderful brother in-law. He had a great talent, and love for making beautiful things out of wood, for his family and friends. We were extremily grateful to Dean for making the temporary ramp, so Barbara could get into their home at Christmas 2005. Dean will be loved & missed by all who knew him, and by all others whose path he had crossed. Love, Barbara & Harold Kimbrough Catonsville, MD.
