Prayers for strength and comfort,,,, Tom and Susie Morris
You will never be forgotten Dean
I want all of you kids to know that you are in my prayers and thoughts constantly during this hard time. I have known your Dad for a very long time since he first got together with your mom. You kids were very loved by both parents. I am truly sorry for the loss of your parents.
I have known Dean since we were teenagers. He always,seems no matter what,was smiling….and doing whatever he could to make others smile as well.I will never forget his laugh..and he will be missed always.
Dear Mary: We were so sorry to hear of your loss. I can’t imagine what you must be going through, but I do know that we love you and will be praying that God will touch you and comfort you at this horrible time of grief. Please remember that we love you and wish you the best that life can offer. You are forever dear to us. With love, Deletta & Duane
