Julie, Landon (BooBoo) and your families, I am so sorry for the loss of Dee! She was a great lady and loved all of you so much! You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Dee had a smile and spunk like no other. Take good care of each other and know she's smiling down on all of you.
