“Uncle” Deanie. He wasnt really my uncle, but family all the same. He was a good man. humble, kind and always had a hello how are you, every time I saw him.
Rest in peace to a gentle person.
Condolences to the family, Susan, Rosemary, sons and grandchildren.
Charlie and I were so sorry to hear this. We love you and regret (because of Charlie’s surgery later this week) that we won’t be able to be there for you. I will never forget the day the four of us were baptized. You two are so special to us. Please let us know if we can do anything. In the mean time, Rose, you and the rest of your family are in out thoughts and prayers.
Susan, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. We’ve heard stories about the man nicknamed “Big Foot”.. It was years before we knew what his name really was Eldeen, all I ever heard was BigFoot. again you are in our prayers.
Love,
Sue and Angie
