    To my Scooter, The little brother that I never had but once i met your sister Pam Dean, I knew the day i met u 30 years ago I had finally gained a little brother at last. We picked on you, laughed at you, played little tricks on u but MORE THAN ANYTHING, we all done so because of the huge amount of love and admiration we had for u even as a young, silly & very clumsy child. You are with your Father(Lonnie Dean) who we all know adored u possibly more than any of us and of that I am sure! You left behind a ton of us whom love u more than maybe we showed but we are here to keep remembrance of you and be there for the mini-you children still here!! We got things covered down here, u just fly high and make sure to remind God to let us in with you! On his terms of course. You developed into a completely attractive man and we all know u done all u could each and every day. just never forget how much we all love you and please don’t forget me, April Renae Ward, your older sister Pamela Dean’s best friend for life (32 years and still going) because when you were a child and I met you, you done something to my heart that was magic because you are good and you are gold and I can’t wait to meet you again. We love you scooter..
