Dear Vernon Gillum Sr, Loraine, Vernon Jr.,Juanita,Grandma Lee and the Russell Family.
Aunt Dee was a wonderful person and loving. It was about 4-5 years ago when I last saw Aunt Dee. The most I could remember of her is how sweet she was and her smile.
A message of sympathy:
Listen for angels hovering near, whispering words your longing to hear... Love is not over... Life is not gone... now and forever, the spirit lives on. Even in your sadness, may you find comfort in knowing that the angels mst be smiling because your loved one is among them now. With all my love and sympathy. I love you

To her devoted husband and family:
Dee was a devoted member of our chapter Sisters Network Central VA Inc. She worked passionately spreading the word about "early detection saves lives". Her beautiful smile, warm embrace and charming voice - I can still hear and see. I was President for four years and Dee was one of the jewels in our chapter that I will always cherish. Heaven just got brighter. See you later-sister.
