I had the pleasure of doing Dee's hair once a week. I will miss her dearly and miss her silliness, smile and laugh. I take comfort knowing she is no longer in pain and at peace. Fridays at the salon will not be the same without Dee. I will miss gossiping with you and our weekly conversations. Rest easy Dee, you are missed so much!
