Dede,
It has already been a year since I lost my best friend. What this means is that I have had at least three hundred and sixty five occasions when you have come to mind. As this year has passed,I realize how many memories we made together. When we meet again I have a lot to tell you so please have those rocking chairs we always talked about ready.
Love you and miss you dearly, Katherine

To my dear friend Dede,

I can hardly believe it has been a year ago that you have gone. I think of you everyday, especially when i am out in my yard gardening. You would be amazed how much the clemetis and columbine have grown! As you always said , "the garden needs color, color, and more color"! You certainly planted the brightest colors, and it brings a smile to my face when i look at them!

Rest in peace my friend......Elaine

Hey my favorite person in the world!!! Well I miss you a lot. I miss talking to you every day. Some time I'm lonely because I don’t have you anymore to give me advice, but you taught me so much. Thank you.

I also want to thank you for my blanket you made me for my birthday day that you didn’t have the chance to give me but I found it all wrapped up and pretty and it as warm as can be in this cold weather!

After this semester in school I’ll be a junior! Time flies. I know how happy you were that I was get ahead and doing the right thing and I want to tell you I left my high school cap with you and when I get my college cap you will receive that to.

I love you. Not only were you my grandmother but you were a mother to me and I want to thank you for that.

Hey Dede, I cannot believe it has been a month since you have been gone. I think about you every day. My heart aches every time I reach for the phone, wanting to ask you a question about my garden, or anything that is on my mind...especially early in the morning when I knew you would be the only one to answer the phone, because you were working the "T" at the crack of dawn. I never knew how much I would miss those conversations until now. I think of you daily, and I will never forget what a great friend you were to me! Love elaine

My Dearest DeDe,
I too cannot believe you are gone.When I left Mass 4 years ago I left my 2 best friends you and Donna.
I knew you would be there for each other and you were.I've called you one of my best friends for over 25 years.
I love and miss you my friend.Life can be so unkind and I will never understand the why's.
I'm so very sorry it had to end here on earth for you.
I will always feel honored to have known and loved you.Godspeed my friend.
Bob and Jason my heart goes out to you both.
Rest in Peace DeDe with the knowledge that you were dearly loved.
Love You,
Karen

Dear DeDe
I was shocked and saddened when Sarah called to let me know about your passing.

I am so happy I got to see you, your Mom and Claire, at the Doctors office I think it was a couple of years ago.
The times we had back in the Lynn Dayz were times I will never forget, also the bar on revere beach...and of course the fun times we all had @ Mickeys house
those times will always be in my memory.
love ya Terry

Aunty DeDe,

I will always remember you. We shared so many great times together. I remember like it was yesterday when Joe and I were at your house playing in your old pool, having so much fun. You have always been there for me and for my mom. You’re a kind and loving person. Even though you aren't my real I aunt, I will always look at you as my real aunt! I love you so very much and will miss you a whole bunch!

Love always,

To my dear friend DeDe, I will miss you so much. You were my first phone call of the day...... every day! You have given me so many words of encouragement all these years. You were my right hand man when Jack passed. and i can never forget that! You were so kind and helpful with my granchildren when they were growing up. I have to thank you for my beautiful perennial garden, because if you had not been around there would be no garden. I look out there every day and think of you! We have been through good times and bad times, but i am especially happy that you found Bob and shared so much happiness with him these past few years. You certainly deserved that. i will miss you dearly my friend. May God bless you and may you rest in peace. love Elaine

Looking back at our long term friendship, I remember all of our good times, funny times and sad times. I also remember how much you did for me and how well you did it. I learned so much from you and will always appreciate your help and hard work. You were always there for me (and everyone in your life) I so respected our friendship. I am missing your heart so much already.
