We ran into each other after many years and you still remembered me from Lee High. We used to clown and laugh in school and that’s just what we did for a few minutes together on the Green that day. It made my day to see you again...Rest in Peace and God Bless your family....

Deedee you have always been a nice and kind person that I have known over 30 years . I’m so glad I had the chance to know you. I pray for your family and friends that you have left behind which is a trying time for all. May you rest in heaven which I know you will be.

My deepest condolences to our family. I’ll miss you D. Much more than in life. I take comfort in the fact we had 52 years of memories and a bond water could not get between. My favorite of your prayers to me is “May God watch between us until we are together again“ and sentiment “I love you Na and Stanley, Aquila, Nasia and Jr.❤“ I will always remember Us. I will always honor your memory. You shall dwell in my thoughts and heart of hearts forever and I will mourn you until I join you.
I love you D
