Dee was a wonderful woman. I knew her since childhood and she was a very kind and sincere person. She raised a wonderful family and I think of her and her family often. I have many fond memories! She is missed.

Our sympathy to the family on Dee's passing. We have some great memories of her as we lived just down the street from the Fredricksens and went to Church with them. I also hang around as kids with Buddy.
