Aunt Dee Dee I can't thank dad enough for naming me after such a sweet, caring, and strong woman. I have always been proud to be your namesake and will continue to be so. Dad use to always tell me stories of the love he had for a beautiful strong willed independent woman who he hoped one day I would very much take after. He called her sister and could never say enough about you. The one thought that comforts me in this moment is that you two are finally reunited and I now have another angel looking over me and the rest of the family. I love you always and god bless!

Aunt Dee Dee aka Aunty,

What a wonderful woman who will be greatly missed, always remembered, and deeply loved. She had a smile that could light up a room and a personality that matched it. She was a beautiful person on both the outside and the inside but also very humble and bashful. She also knew how to make a person feel special which is a rare and treasured quality. I wish that we had spent more quality time together but also appreciate the time that we did get with her.

We will always cherish the memory of her life.

With Love,
Jerry, Jill, Jordan, and Jaiden
