Dear Bobby,
I am so sorry and shocked to hear of the passing of Dee. She was not only "our" interior designer but she was our mediator and most importantly our friend. I spoke with Dee just before this horrible winter and we talked about getting together in the Spring but that never happened. We too have children and grandchildren in other states and are always on the move. I remember how much Dee loved going to NY to see the girls. She loved her apartment especially when Howard was there with her. She used to tell me of the trips when she & Howard would travel to NY to pick up & transport furniture back to Pgh. They had a wonderful life together. Bobby, she was my friend and I (along with so many others) will miss her. I will always hold her memory dear to my heart. My home carries on her memory.
Please relay my deepest regrets and sympathy to the "girls." Also, if you have a moment, please contact me at [email protected] or call 412:621-8383.
I didn't know that you had other siblings. Dee only spoke of you and I know that you had a wonderful relationship or, better yet, a partnership.
My prayers are with you and hope that you and your family are doing well. I hope to hear back from you

Dear Susie, Patty, Bobby and Johnny,
I am very sorry I did not see the obituary until this past Sunday. I have been an interior designer for the past 35 years, so Dee and I would see each other on occassion. She was a very talented person. I will always remember her poodles she would bring to your mom's house.

Dear Bobby, Leja, and Alex,
I have such wonder memories of Dee. I share your sorrow and am sorry to hear of her passing. She was a fantastically tallented woman. Over and over again in my mind, I keep replaying conversations I had with her as well as all she'd taught me in the 23 years I worked for her. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
