I am so sorry for all of Dewey’s family. He was a precious friend to me. I will always be thankful for the time we had together at Bible Study and square dancing. Loved him then, love him now. May he Rest In Peace.
Thank you
He was a wonderful man. I loved him since I met him, and I always admired him for everything he was and everything he did. He took me in as part of his family since we met, and loved me as his own. I will forever be grateful for his kindness and his love. I will miss our Bible talks and our phone calls on November 11’s to say happy birthday and check on each other. I will always love him and remember him!
Thank you
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your sweet Dad. My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. Rest In Peace, Mr. Chance.
Thank you
Sorry to hear of Uncle Dewey’s passing. As a child I always thought of him as a nice uncle. Over the years I came to realize how much he cared about the people he loved…his commitment to doing what I consider to be honorable. I understood the depths of his character and his loyalty. Every time I saw Uncle Dewey he always made a point to come talk to me (and a big hug) and our “talks” were tiny little glimpses into his soul. Those moments became treasures I have tucked away in my heart. He was and always will be family to me. He was a “stand up do the right thing” kind of man.
As he is now at peace, he is with Aunt Matilda…the love of his life…on a journey together to eternity. ❤️
Love you Lynda and Stacie.
