Mom I miss you more than I have ever missed in my life. I have cried more tears than the ocean, rivers and seas for you. I will try to be a mentor to my Grandchildren and carry on your tradition to make each Holiday Special for them in there life. Mom you was a great wife to my dad in the end and I will mirror you and be a good wife. I know the Lord called you home and I may of not wanted to let go but the Angels took you to the heavens that Wednesday night. I will always hold you special in my heart and I love you with all my might. When I kissed your forehead at the end of your service I was not saying goodbye but I was just kissing you goodnight. Time will pass quick for one day in my old age I will fly on the wings of a snow white dove to see the most beautiful mother in Heavens light. With All Respect and Love from your Daughter Sandra Amen.

I am saddened to know Dee is gone. I so enjoyed staying at the house for a week during the summer when Mom and Dad went off to church camp. All of us kids had a great time! Dee was very loving and had a gentle spirit. And,as a child,Christmas was a very special time because that meant ALL the family gathered for fun,laughter,gifts,and food. I especially looked forward to Dee's most delicious divinity. Dee made divinity like no other!! I have loving memories of Dee. I will pray that the family will be comforted.
