Momo, Papa and family,



I'm so very sorry for your loss. I'll always remember "uncle" Dean as the jovial man at all the family gatherings. It was a pleasure knowing him from the time I was a little girl, a friend of Jennifer's, with the fortune of being able introduced to the Hargrove family. You loved him with all your heart and I'm sure in passing he knew the strength of that bond with each and every one of you.



My deepest condolences,

Tara Pavlak

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family, especially the children. Dean's light burned bright - his energy, endless. Now sleep and find peace. I have a theory that God needed him home, his "spokesperson" must have retired and Dean got the call. With love, The Morlock Family
