Wow. We just found out and I still can't believe it. I remember Dionne was always so upbeat, she was always flashing that beautiful smile of hers. To her family, may God's love and comfort surround you, remember she was in the Lord and is with our King.

Dionne, my friend, my sister. We met about 15 years ago, working for LeSea Broadcasting, Since that time, we have remained sisterfriends. At every turn since we met, you have been nearby. Your sweet,sweet optimism and laughter are the things that I will miss the most. Thank you for allowing me to spend the last months sharing with you. I thank God for your many accomplishments and how your dreams (that we often talked about) came true. I have no doubt that I will see you again. Although I will miss you, I rejoice knowing that you are with the Father. I will complete "The Open Window" just for you! I love you, Girl!
