Tina, Josh and Richard,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother's death. Knowing her for so many years and having the pleasure of not only working with her at Vansant Elementary but also as one of my classroom mothers, I have to say she was always a delight to be around. She loved all of you so much and her pride in you shown brightly on her face. Always remember that beautiful smile she seemed to share all the time. May God be with you and give you comfort.

"I was a childhood friend of "Dean's". She & I went to the little 2 room Deskins Schoolhouse. She was so pretty & all of us younger girls wanted to look like her. I saw her several times over the years & she never changed her sweet personality. My husband, Harris, & I will be unable to attend her services. We are trying to get ready for his upcoming knee replacement surgery, but we want the family to know that we really treasured any time we spent with "Dean". She was a special lady. With our love & prayers, Harris & Debbie Jackson Crumpton
