I will definitely miss this lady. She was like the mother I lost in 1994. From the first day I met her she treated me as one of her own. I will love and miss her forever.

I will always love and miss my beautiful and wonderful sister. DeDe, you were the heart and soul of our big family. Your house was the welcoming home where you and Robert hosted us all to come to mourn or celebrate every occasion with love, good food and good cheer. I will cherish the memories for the rest of my life. I love you DeDe.
