Wyetttia,, my thoughts and prayers are with you . Dean was a good person and loved and respected by all who knew him. May God's gift of love and all the good memories you and Dean shared give you strength during this difficult time
Wyettia, Tiffany and I are so sorry for the loss of Dean. I have known him all of my life as has Tiffany. I remember the last time I saw you two was at Wal Mart in the scented candle area, and you were helping me. The picture of him on here is just like he looked that day. We didn't know he was sick. May God comfort you in this difficult time. He is in a better place, free of pain. You will see him again. We love you.
Wyettia,I have no words to describe how heartbroken I am to lose my Uncle Dean. He was one of my favorite people in this world. My prayers continue for God to provide you with Peace and Comfort at this very sad time.
Mrs. Wyettia, I can't express enough how my heart is breaking for you at this time. I'm so glad I ran into you two at the store not long ago! I will be out of town on Wednesday but you will be in my thoughts and prayers! Just have faith in knowing that your sweet husband is celebrating in his heavenly home. I just know that Mom and JB were waiting for him at those pearly gates to welcome him home! I love you Mrs. Wyettia! Michele
