My deepest sympathies to Dee’s family. She was a loving, kind and compassionate person who came to my help when I most needed it. I will be forever grateful for the way she embraced me into her life. A woman of solid faith and a generous spirit, Dee shared with me this scripture and I have treasured it always:
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control.” – Galatians 5:22:23
Chris and Derrick, I join you in your grief. May our beloved Mother rest in peace. 🙏🏽💜💐
