To the Dean Family:
My heart goes out to all of you at this time and in the days ahead. I have so many fond memories of your Mother and of the many times our families had together. You probably don't remember Marvin & Dorothy Hawley too well, but they thought so much of your parents even after leaving Ohio. They spoke often of them and so enjoyed several visits they made to Missouri. May God be with you and bless you and heal the pain and sadness in your hearts.

I am so greatful, to have been a part of such a phenomenal family - with the roots beginning for the Dean family, with grandma Dean. I told Mis she's going to be a busy lady... not only will she be watching over the entire family - but she's got 2 lucky men fighting for her attention "up there." Your family is, as always, in my thoughts and prayers - and very close to my heart.

Larry, Danny, Joanne, and Faye - Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your Mother, as she was a dear, dear friend and a wonderful, Christian person. She reached out to so many people with kindness and love while her smile warmed so many hearts. My mother always thought of her as a "sister". The birthday party your Mother gave for my Mother several years ago reflected their close relationship. May God strengthen you and give you His perfect peace, that only comes through Him.
