    I loved being Dee’s friend; she always encouraged me. She loved me and I loved her.

    Dee had fun sense of humor!
    I also remember that she would tease me about my “kitchen gadgets “, as she called them. She would call me the Kitchen gadget Queen! Lol!
    She will certainly be missed.

    I’m ashamed to say that has been many years since I have been in touch with Dee. I loved her and I know that she has already met my husband who passed on April 8 of this year.
    My prayers go out to all her family in this hard time.

    Dee welcomed Luke into her heart and family when he married Layla. We had the pleasure to meet her when we visited Kansas City, she loved her Aussie family. Layla, all the Australian family and friends send their condolences. I’m sure Dee would have loved hearing about Andrew and Talia’s wedding and she will be sending her blessings to them from Heaven. We have arranged for some trees to be planted in Australia in Dee’s memory.

    Rest in Peace Dee
    Bev, Greg, Andrew, Talia, Patch, Monique and all the extended family
