So very sorry for the loss of this beautiful soul. I met Dee thru a mutual friend. He then helped me contact Dee about Oscar my buddy. He was young an energetic. I was taking care of my brother an couldn't keep up with Oscar. Dee wanted him. That was the best decision to make. She gave my boy a loving home. He then became her boy. I will always remember how sweet she was with him. She always kept me updated on him. Dee was my friend an I am heartbroken for her to be gone. I send my prayers for her family. GODSPEED DEE. I'll see you when I see you.

Oh Dee Ann I cannot believe you're gone. I had just talked to and we agreed it was time to get together and catch up on life. You will be missed dearly by so many. You have always been a bright cheerful and loving person, even as a kid. I send all my thoughts and prayers to your family and friends. You may be gone but you will never be forgotten. Rest in heaven friend..

This doenst seem real. I’m not sure where to begin. This woman had the heart of gold. She was always there for a late night phone call when I needed someone to talk to or a quick text just to say “hi and love you cuz”! Im going to miss those big , warm soft hugs and that infectious smile. I love you Cuz and until we meet again…..Fly high!
