Dee was one of the only iconic female wrestlers I remember from childhood. I was just a little girl back then, but Dee has remained in my memories ever since. I'm now 43, disabled and struggling to survive but women like Dee are a great reminder to stay strong and keep pushing forward. I am so sorry to discover that she passed away, but I hope she is now in a better place where her talents and strengths are being fully utilized to help humanity achieve a higher state of enlightenment. She will be missed.
