Momma dean will be sorely missed by every one that she touched and there were really to many to mention. Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole family.
Jason& Jackie Starr - Family Friend

There are never any words that can be said to make the pain you are feeling now any easier. Dean was a wonderful mother, wife and friend to all that knew her, and she never left you without a smile... she will be missed by all the people who knew her but we all know she is where she needs to be now. She is at peace, in no pain and with her lifelong love, it is seldom we see a love like they had and today that kind of love is harder to find, but you always knew what it was when you seen them anywhere. Temple, Steve, and Jason my heart goes out to you all having to endure this so quickly after losing your dad. Just know that your friends are here for you no matter the day or the hour.... we love you guys and our prayers and thoughts are with you. God bless you all and rest in peace Ms. Dean...

Brenda let me know yesterday about Nellie Deans death. I was in hopes she could beat the cancer, but I'm sure she will be so happy in heaven with Donnie and so many more of her loved ones that went before her.Temple, Steve and Jason- hang in there. I can't imagine how hard it must be to lose a dad and mom so close together. I know you and those grandkids were her pride and joy.
