Sad Farewells...

You will both be in my thoughts. It is rough to be apart, but hopefully that time will pass soon. Thanks for sharing your family with us . Be proud of him, it sounds like you have a wonderful husband. You both will have so much to share and celebrate on his return!:hug:

Im truly sorry to hear about all this. I will definatly have you and Dean in my prayers. Time will fly by quicker than you know it, but you have to be strong for yourself and the kids. Im sure he is proud of you aswell as you are proud of him.

We're here for you Judy. So if you ever need anything, dont hesitate to let us know. Good Luck and God bless.

Judy,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Stay strong and keep the faith. I know it's hard, but Dean will be home safely before you know it.
I'm getting ready to see my son off for his second tour in October and I didn't think that I would make it through his first deployment....But I did, and so shall you.
A huge thanks to Dean for serving our country!

I've been thinking about you all day Judy, and right now tears are just running down my face. I can't even imagine the fear and sadness that must be overwhelming you. I wish there was something I could do to ease your burden even the slightest bit. Bless your husband as he is away from your family, and keep him safe so that he can return to you healthy and whole. Bless your family too, and help them stay strong.

I'm here if you need ANYTHING! :hug:

Judy , lass I take my hat off to you guys.It is never easy on family.Dean is a credit to you , his family and his country.Old fashioned values, you cannot buy that at a store. Its in the heart . You guys have real big hearts.

I wish you all that you wish yourself.

JLC please give my best to your husband! :salute:

Wow, I give you and Dean and your family a huge ton of respect. I don't know what else to say that hasn't been said already.. but here's to hoping that the time he is gone goes by fast and he is back in your arms soon.

what a handsome devil!


So sorry Judy....I can't even imagine what it's like to be in your shoes.

Make sure you tell him we are all so very proud of him and his brothers in arms.

Awww Jude :hug:, you've been in my thoughts all day and I, like Christie, have tears streaming down my face. I'm sorry I couldn't be on sooner than now, and wasn't available for phone calls today.


Dean and your family have my greatest respect and admiration for the sacrifices that you all are going through for our country.

Petra looks so much like her father!
