Aunt Dee Dee, I'm shocked to hear of your passing. I did not know. I will miss your smile and all the funny joke's you always shared. You and my father had the kind of laugh that was from the soul. I will always remember how you pulled a peacock feather and gave it to me when I was a little girl. I look forward to the day when our entire family will meet again in Heaven. Please give my dad and mama a hug and kiss when you see them again in Heaven. I will always remember your kindness and our friendship. Take Care and have I Love You Always. XO

My Aunt Dee. My life was more full because of her, and every childhood to adulthood memory I have of Aunt Dee is wrapped with smiles, laughter and so much love. She was always my favorite Aunt, and forever will remain so. There was nobody else quite like her, everything about her was special. Oh Aunt Dee, my heart hurts, but I sure hope you and my mom are having the most wonderful and amazing reunion. Sending much love to my cousins - I´m so very sorry for your loss.
