I’m praying for strength beyond normal, to comfort you and your family. My condolence to you and loved ones. God does Not cause death right now. "Time and unforeseen occurrences befall all." Ecclesiastes 9:11. Remember: "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,on Earth, as it is in Heaven." Matthew 6:10; Daniel 2:44. You see it is a government, that Jesus soon will rule as King. It will bring no death, sickness, pain, tears, peace, here on Earth. Plus the dead will live again, here on Earth. Acts 24:15; Psalms 37:11, 29; Isaiah 26:19. Make sure you look up all the scripture to see this is all true. There is more. If your interested please email me at:. kathy122346@gmail.com Everything is free. Jesus said go free give free. Because it is from him. Kathy
Dear Dean Family, I had the pleasure of working with Dwain over the last several years. Dwain always acknowledged me, no matter what time it was day or night. He was always friendly and I never heard him complain or say anything bad about others. I appreciated his friendship and enjoyed having conversations with him. I will miss him and will remember him always. I wish you God's grace and peace in your time of sorrow.
To The Dean Family, you have my deepest sympathy. Gooby
