Pat,
Doug and I will be praying for you and your family thru these times. I know you are hurting, but have an inner peace knowing Dean is with his Daddy God and up their dancing his heart out for Him. I will always remember the evening we met him at our class reunion, years ago, and how we so loved to watch the two of you dance.
Just let go Pat and crawl up on your Heavenly Fathers lap and let Him hold you and hear His heart beat for you. He is not finished with you yet. Jeremiah 29:11 is a promise to you. Hope to see you if we ever return from Destin, Florida to Lima again. Doug and Donetia (COOK) Hurt
