I met Dee when Elaine Grillo sold her accounting pratice to me. She became a wonderful client and a very special friend. I have many great memories of our long conversations about our lives and families. We shared many laughs and a few tears. She adored her family and Don is and will always be the love of her life. Heaven has a special angel who will be missed by anyone who ever knew her!

Our entire office extends our sympathies to her family. Thanks for the memories!

Julie Harte, Brian Harte, Bev Johnson, Eaine Grillo and Roseann Carter.
