Deedy was an amazing woman and part of my favorite memories of college. As my little sister in Phi Mu she taught me a lot about love. Deedy will always be in my heart.

I have such fond memories of Dee Dee from high school. I am proud to have had her for a friend. We often chatted via Facebook and I had hoped one day to visit her when I was in Jackson. May she Rest In Peace.. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends.

She was such a kind and concerned person. We had a Facebook connection and she reached out to me in one of my dark times. So loving, so full of wisdom, and so true to herself. She will be missed deeply by so many.
May you feel God's love and comfort surround you.

I went to Millsaps with DeeDee and was proud to call her a sorority sister in Phi Mi. She was one of the sweetest, most loving people I have ever met. Despite the trauma she endured our freshman year, she rose to suceed and bkess many others during her life.

I had just recently reconnected with herand shared many fond memories. She will be greatly missed. You have my sympathy for your great loss and my prayers and thoughts will be with you.
