Lora, I was so sorry to hear about Dean. I only got to hang out with him a handful of times, but I sure did enjoy him and his stories. And of course Blue Bloods!! He is now with Jesus. I bet he's happy. Love you.

Elaine, Donna & I send our sincere condolences in the loss of Dean. Through our Friday night dinners we feel as we knew Dean though we never had the pleasure to meet him. God bless you and your family. Love John & Donna Ross

I've been blessed to know and love the James Family for 40+ years. I worked with Dean's beautiful Mom and I Send my love and prayers to the entire family.

Elaine, I can't tell you how very sorry I am about Dean. May God grant you peace and comfort during this time. Praying for the family.
Love,
Barbara

Lora,
I knew Dean only through your love and prayers for him. You told a story of a man who loved you, his family and held on to the strength that gave him. A great man. He will continue in our Lord's promise of everlasting life and the memories of those he touched on Earth. Praying for you and your family to have comfort and peace through this time.

My wonderful memories of Dean are burnt in my brain and held in my heart. His wit, his laugh, his gentleness -all make me still smile. His sufferings of the last twenty years will not go unrewarded because I know that God will hold him extra tight and the angels will sing extra loud now that he has arrived in Heaven. I send much love Lora to you and your family not just today but everyday that passes. May God Bless you and Comfort you.

May our Heavenly Father strengthen and comfort you (Elaine and Mike) and your family during this season, my prayers are with you all.

Deepest sympathies to all of you! Your all in our thoughts and prayers

Our world's a little less bright today without Dean, but perhaps that ever-present, knowing twinkle in his eye is among those stars shining down on us. Dean was one of the friendliest, kindest, and most generous people I've ever known - even during his rapid climb up the career ladder of a field not always known for those attributes. But even in the competitive, fast-paced field of menswear & designer fashion, he remained solid & centered, with a wide open heart. My love, hugs & condolences to you, Lora, and to Jessica & Christopher.

A great friend and one of my best old buddies. You will be missed.

Until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hands. Lora, Christopher, and Jessica, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
My mom use to say "To those whose hearts hold tears, Jesus gives them a rainbow."
Much love to you all.
Aunt Terri
