Dean,
My heart breaks for you, Joel and your families. Your mother was one of the sweetest people that I have ever known. She and your father had wonderful smiles that always made me feel welcome. They both now permanently reside deep within your heart. Remembering the years that we were neighbors will always bring a smile to my face and warmth in my heart. Prayers are lifted for you and your family. Teresa Dunn Nix
Love,
