RIP Dee I worked at WSSH @321. I fondly remember her making a pizza for all the employees to eat on slow Monday evenings. Thank you Dee.

Ms. Dee, as I called her, was my neighbor for a long time. She was a very special lady and very good friend. I would do some small task for her, and she would bake me some kind of cake, And I mean, the best cake you ever put in your mouth! She is baking in Heaven now sharing her cakes with the angels I'm sure! There will not be another like her that's for sure! Rest in peace sweet lady. May God bless the Smart family and friends!
