We reconnected just a few years ago. One thing that stands out is being her tech support guy. She once called me from the middle of a Best Buy, while talking to a Geek Squad member, to ask me a technical question about an adapter! Kinda felt bad for the Geek Squad guy.. haha. I will miss her.

I met Dee when I was in Memphis in August. My brother, Tommy, was madly in love with her! We had spoken on the phone before I met her, and I too loved her. She was kind, gracious, and so funny.
My heart is broken for her family and Tommy.

I never actually met Dee in person. We had been fb friends for quite a few years, having met through a fitness group we were in. She was very funny and I always enjoyed her posts throughout the years. When her husband died, I mourned with her. Even though we never met, she isn't someone I will forget.
