DeeDee you were always helping others, your voice always serene and calm when one was dealing with the storms of life, offering patience, guidance and strength when one needed it. You were a wonderful role model, and an inspiration, touching us each in your own special way. It was a blessing to have known you and have you as part of our family. You fought a long hard battle and now you have gone to rest with God. Although we did not see you and dad as often as we would have liked because of how far away we lived, we always kept you in our hearts and prayers. Gramma Dee will be greatly missed by all of the children. God Bless you, rest in peace, know that we love you and will miss you very much.

I will love you for all eternity,,,,

It was an honor to know Dee and I am blessed to have known her. She helped me learn triage many many years ago. It was fun. My only regret is that she never got to meet Lucas and Emma. I love you Dick and will make it up there soon to see your smiling face. Love always, Karen, Lucas and Emma

DeeDee, we have always, and will always love you. Although we no longer have your physical presence, we know that your soul, your spirit will always comfort us. Thank you for fighting so hard and so long for all of us. Your strength is so inspiring. Your advice will continue to guide us all.

She misses her "Grandma Dee Dee" very much and we will always keep you close to our hearts. God bless you now that you have peace and are in the arms of God and your family in Heaven.
