Miss Dee was my next door neighbor for years, kind to a fault, and a straight shooter. My condolences to her Family – she talked about y’all all the time! The world lost a special soul, I am better for having known her.
I loved working with Dee. She was always a real sweetheart. She was a very kind and sweet person to everyone, even if they “plucked her last nerve.” The world is a darker place without her.
My condolences to the family.
