To John, Mary & Chrissy, I send my deepest sympathies. Your Mother was the greatest, funniest and best shopper!! We used to go the Midnight Madness sales when you were small children. We had such fun dragging you guys and Jeff through the stores. I haven't seen her in a while but I treasure the memories of those times. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of sorrow.

I was very sorry to hear about Dee's passing. She was a kind, funny, wonderful person. She was very generous with her time and friendship. I was so looking forward to her return to work, i really missed her. We had so much fun there, singing, talking about QVC and jewelry, doing lunch, etc. I know she missed her husband, John, more than words can say. I know they are together now and happy once again, but we will miss her dearly here on earth. WE LOVE YOU, DEE!!!
