Dear Dede, Ten years since we said goodbye to you and I still think of you often with happy memories of all the good times we shared. Eddie and Bob (Ellsworth) are with you now. Oh, how I miss all of you. Thank you again for all the joy you brought to my life. God bless all your family. Loads of love from Carolyn

Melissa and I were so thankful we had the awesome opportunity to visit with you and DeDe this summer at dad's birthday party. We were comforted by DeDe's strong will and faith. We will always remember the fun times our family had with DeDe and the Lafferty family. Y'all are super friends and neighbors! God bless and comfort you in your loss.

Eddy, Carol, Buddy and Ricky and extended family: My heart pours out to you all for your loss. I have great memories of wonderful times in your pool, having bbqs, going to Three Rivers and having neighborhood fun. I want to thank you guys and tell how wonderful it was to see you again and talk about the past. I wish the best for you all and look forward to future encounters.
I remember Dede's smile the most! I am so glad that she was so close to God and now she is with Him.

I have such wonderful memories of the camping, waterskiing, a wives slumber party, Christian conferences and trips to Montana together. We had a lot of fun. The joke when traveling was the car automatically went into any Wal-Mart we passed. Always an adventure. One of my most favorite times was when she came to the ranch and we went on an early morning ride. Mist and cool. Went to breakfast at Wagon Wheel and had time just to be together. Great memories. I will miss you dear sister!!

Some of our family's happiest memories are of all the good times we spent with Dede and her family. Nearly all our children learned to swim in their pool. We enjoyed picnics, card games, birthday parties, and exchanging baby-sitting. They were the best neighbors anyone could have. How we will miss Dede. What a loss! Our thoughts and prayers are with Eddie and all her family and friends during this time of sorrow. Love from Bob & Carolyn Tulberg, Bobbi, Amy, Terri, Gene, Patty, Clark,...
