I will surely miss you uncle Dean!!! The last 5 or so years hanging out with you and Aunt Sharon when I visited Florida are memories I will always treasure! Never in a million years would I think in January that would be the last time. I can still hear your laughter on the screen porch when I showed you the stash of bones my dog hid under my couch. My thoughts and prayers are with you all!!! Sending my love
