Arlene Patricia Dee

I was going to post an "Ole Irish Blessing" but I couldn't find one that you'd approve of. You were tough in that sense and I didn't want to mess it up.

If you read this and want to know about my Mom listen to Billy Joel. "She's Always a Woman."

Sums up my Mom in the elegant way that she would want to remembered.

There will never be another Arlene Dee. I only know most of the story and wish I knew the whole thing. She lived an amazing life, re-invented herself many times over all while raising the "circus 6" with our Dad, John J. Dee.

My only hope is that she's finally at peace and done worrying. Take a breath Mom, grab a great book and breath again. You did good and we'll be ok.

Family, Friends, and Faith got you through worst times of our lives and they will continue to carry us now.

Rest Easy,

We Love You
