To the entire Potts Family,

I offer my heart felt condolences to your family. I worked at RJR with Darrell Dean for over 20 years and he was as hard a worker as I have ever met. He was always ready to help in any way. He was a good man.
May God bless your family and give you peace.

To Linda and family: For over 20 years, you were my neighbors. I always remember Darrell working in the yard, didn't matter the season. I remember him and my dad talking "over the fence." I will miss seeing him on the mower and waving to me as I came home. My thoughts & prayers are with you as you go through this most difficult time. May God bless you and keep you.
