Dee had a very witty and fun-loving spirit. Her one-liners were a gift to us all. She enjoyed traveling, golf and most of all shopping. But the true loves of her life were her faith, family and friends. We"ll miss you. Thanks for the memories; you are an angel, Mom!
Our sincere thanks to the staff at Arden Courts for your love and patience. A special thank-you to Louise from Asera Care Hospice.
