Mr Dean and family, my condolences on Mrs Dean's passing. I cherished her support and friendship while working as a clerk in Product Assurance. May God bless her family. Thank you, Mr Dean, for your support as I sometimes fumbled my way through my clerical duties. It was an honor to work for you.

To the wonderful Dean family,

My deepest sympathy for your loss. Polly was an amazing "Grandma" to my class full of students (but especially to Brian, Jonathan and Michael, her boys). She will be deeply missed by all in my classroom.

My prayers go out to you

Polly will be missed by all of her friends at the Navy base - she was a friend and mentor to many of us!

Polly was a greart friend I needed when I came to the Naval Weapons Station, Seal Beach. She was asked by the managers if she would try to get me to move to Corona. With her as a friend, I did not hesitate and she was a strong supporter for me.

Soon it was time for Polly and Cal to retire and they left the Fleet Analysis Center. I always consulted Polly even after her retirement. She was someone I depended upon and confided. She was kind hearted and understanding. A good role model.

My heartfelt condolences to Cal and the Dean family. I pray for eternal peace for her soul.
