I have many found memories of Dee "mom". In 1988, the Rickers and Fentons met via Fairgrounds Jr. High School band. In the years that followed that followed the Fentons and Rickers became family. Dee was always welcoming to me and especially my sisters. The Rickers were part of every major celebration we had, the Fentons did the same. I will always remember Dee's sense of humor and laughter that was so contagious!!! Good Bye Mom!!! You will be missed. Love you
