'Maria' I am going to miss you dearly, I am going to miss the good times we have had when we would get together. I loved your smile even when times were tough, I loved how we could just pop up out the blue and you would open your home to us, I am going to miss sitting in the yard just cutting up and having a good time. Most of all I am going to miss you and your little dance you used to do. Keep on dancing my cousin and being an inspiration to us all. I love you and I miss you.
Always Family

I was sadden to hear about the passing of my friend Janie Dean. She truly loved the officers at the Dinwiddie Sheriff Office. Even in times like these GOD is in control. To the family, just know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. May God bless you and keep you.

For my wife Theo and sisters Desiree and Janickal
The death of a mother, expected or unexpected is grief and loss no child wishes for. Receiving news your mother passed away will leave you speechless, scrambling for air that suddenly disappears. No sympathy messages or poems for mom or condolences absolve the overwhelming pain in your body.
Though your mother is physically asleep, the memories within you live on forever.

We are so sad to hear about the death of your love one. We all was born to die and not live on this earth always. But in my fathers house there are many mansions and there you will have everlasting life. There will be no more sorrow and no more pain. Maria has completed her journey on this earth and God has another plan for her. Trust in God and we will all see her again. When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be. When we all see Jesus, we will sing and shout the victory. May Goodness and Mercy continue to follow you all the days of your life, and we all shall dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.

Her life was full, she savored much.
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. The void left will be filled with remembered joy, friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.
I say to you, "Lift up your heart, peace be to thee." God wanted Maria, He set her free.
Your Cuz, Jo Ann

I remember Maria from Pegram Street when her family moved to Petersburg from N.C. I lived next door and we all played together. Maria had a beautiful smile and a sweet spirit about her then, the last time I saw her and we talked, she was working at The Waffle House and I tell you Maria was just like I remembered her. To the Family: stay strong in the almighty God, and hold on to his unchanging hand and he WILL carry you through this difficult time and give you his peace.

Maria, no words can express my feelings right now, I'm hurting and relieved to know you are in the great kingdom with our father and savior.
I will miss you terribly and will always remember what you told me 'live your life Big Mary ' and do the best that you can , only the Lord knows your heart. Don't worry about what people say about you because they didn't give you life so don't worry yourself to death.
I will see you again and we can pick up , where we left off, loving each other.
Love Always

You are at home with your " Heavenly Father " and family. Your final entrance is one where you will eternally be happy and welcomed. We will always love you , but we are going to miss you. I know that Heaven is rejoicing to another citizen joining the Kingdom. We got lots of fun and good laughs when you were with us. We will always have you in our hearts. We enjoyed your presence here on earth, but God has a greater place for you with him. You have made your greatest mark with the legacy that you left your children and grandchildren. You have done well. Go ahead and collect your reward.
" Your Big Sister "

To the family of Ms. Janie Dean:
I found this poem that I wanted to share with you. Always know that weeping endures for a night but joy comes in the morning!
"God Took Her To His Loving Home"
God saw her getting tired, a cure was not to be.
He wrapped her in his loving arms and whispered ‘Come with me.'
She suffered much in silence, her spirit did not bend.
She faced her pain with courage, until the very end.
She tried so hard to stay with us but her fight was not in vain,
God took her to His loving home and freed her from the pain.
May each of you find comfort in the Lord and may the soul of your Mother rest in paradise!

To my aunt, "mom", & friend: Words can't express how much I will miss you. Thank you for always being there for me thru the good & bad times. You was our rock. I can still hear you calling me Hog head or Hacht head. All the advice, life lessons, & love you gave me, I will continue to use as my guide in life. Thank you mom for all your love,strength, & sacrifices you made raising 4 beautiful intelligent young women. God don't put more on you than we can bear & will not let his children suffer. You ran a long & faithful race. We love you, but God love you best.Rest in peace. I love you always? Always, Huggy

I am surely going to miss the "1lawtracker". She was always full of funny and humble stories. She treated each Deputy in Dinwiddie with such love. We have truly lost a special person but heaven has gained an Angel! Love you Janie!

I LOVE MY MOM AND SHE WILL BE MISSED GREATLY!
During this difficult time I can still say "Thank You Jesus". I'm blessed to have had such a loving, strong, and beautiful mother. Mom you used to always say how proud you are of your girls nevertheless we were proud of you! I can remember when I was little girl and my great great uncle Frank Barnes would say "We love you but God loves you best". At the time I didn't know who he was talking about or why he kept saying that over and over again. I can still hear him saying it and I appreciate it because I get it now and it's helping me get through this difficult time. Thank you Mom for being a loving, caring, and stern mother. I will forever keep your words of encouragement, words of wisdom, lessons that you taught me, and conversations that we have had close to my heart. You influenced and molded me to become a strong independent woman. Job well done! Mom I'm going to miss you so much. We had a lot of fun and good times together. Thank you for the precious memories. I'm hurting but I know that weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. Mom I know that they are going to enjoy you in heaven just as much as we did on earth. REST IN PEACE MY PRECIOUS MOTHER. LOVE YOU ALWAYS!
Your devoted and loving daughter
