Prayers for Gloria and family in the homegoing of Dean. He was always cheerful and a delight to be around. He is my cousin and I loved him and Don and Jim. I live in SC and therefore was not around them as much as would have liked - but I knew I was always welcome when I visited in Kingsport. God Bless you Gloria and family - I can see his big smile as he saw his brother and mother and many loved ones gone on before. May you have peace and comfort as you go forward....
