The latest!
January 7, 2014
First I want to mention Fred Miller, a close and lifelong friend, who is nearing the end of his journey here. He and his wonderful wife, Sharon, were ultra faithful to Hope Temple’s choir which I directed for 8 or 9 years. My love and respect to the Miller clan for their friendship and their sainthood. My heart is with you.
Today I had pre-op appointments to have cataract surgery next Wednesday, and then a stem cell transplant at Northside Hospital in February. Northside, by the way, has the best survival rate for transplants in the nation. It’s a good thing to have Dr. Jesus on the team, too.
Pray for Patty. She is overwhelmed by the perceived demands upon her as my primary caregiver. Already, she is thinking about a schedule of trusted friends and drivers who might be willing to take a shift driving me to Northside for my 21 days of followup care. Whomever can help, I am hereby offering to buy your lunch!!!
Jesus, Your detailed, complete plan for my care is overwhelmingly comforting. You TRULY care for me, and EVERYONE who calls upon Your all-powerful name. There is NO ONE ELSE like You. You are my Savior, my Healer, my Friend, my Comfort. I bless You. Comfort my beloved wife and lift her burden.

Dear Dean (and Patti) We just today learned of your health issues. You have both certainly been through a lot! We gladly lift you up in our prayers and believe with you for God’s perfect plan for your future. You have and will continue to touch the lives of many as we have been touched by your life and faith. We of God’s love through you both. What a blessing that you have each other to encourage you.
We too have each others support. Jeanne has been here for me as I recently had knee surgery for a torn quadracep tendon. Recovery is slow but gives one an opportunity to reflect on life and our dependence on God for all things. Get well soon. With love. The

I have just today found your blog. I am so sorry that you are having to go through all these trials. Gods ways are beyond understanding and how would we make it without our living Jesus by our side. I remember you as one of the kindest and great man of God and have so many memories of singing and worshipping with you those years at Hope. My prayers are with you and Patty. God has been so good to me and has given me a wonderful family all here close by in Florida. He is an awesome God!!!
