Dee was a tremendous hostess. I spent a few nights at their house watching college football bowl games with the family. She always timed meals to be served during halftime, as anyone with a football loving family would. My heart goes out to Dick and Matt at this time as you mourn for beloved Dee. The prayers of my family go out to you. - Kevin Krause
