I worked with Dee at Viva Salon before I moved away. I just found out about her passing and it breaks my heart. She was a wonderful person. Full of love, wisdom, humor and just plain fun. She loved my children and always chimed in with conversations of my clients and I. We had so much fun! She will be deeply missed. -Chelsea Whiten

I met your mom at least 35 years ago. Maybe a little longer. She started doing my hair and we became friends. We were both southwest Philly girls and knew a lot of the same people. You always knew where you stood with Dee. I always looked forward to our conversations as much as my hair cut. We had talked about getting together for lunch. You always think there will still be time. She will always have a place in my heart. Love you Dee

I first met your mom when I was pregnant in 1981. She took care of my salon needs until about 15 years ago. This makes me sad. She loved her family so much. I remember her extreme sorrow when her niece passed. My thoughts are with all her family and friends. Rest easy, Dee.

Our families deepest sympathies to the family and friends of beloved Deb in her early transition into heaven. Heavenly Family, friends greet Deb, like my Ted, both new to Heaven! Ted was in constant prayer and care about Deb. For their suffering in this world is no more. I rejoice in the greatness of our Lord as we are not far behind. Ted & I always wanted to share our lake place with you guys, life gets all too busy and we understand. I would have loved to know you guys better. Ray, may your emptiness be filled with all the goodness and blessings that you carry on with in your heart and in your life as Deb will always be that special part of you and may you find peace in the love that carries on forever, here and into eternity. Ted deeply loved you both and surely he knows Deb is there and he is here in spirit for you. We are very grateful for your support and friendship with Ted. He too had to depart us too soon. Here for you anytime. Praying for your family and friends to find peace in this season of loss.
Sending love and gratitude, Tammy Rausch and family
