My sister was the most special person. I am so sorry I can't be there to say goodbye. When I came out last September; that is when I said my good byes. I knew that God wanted Dave and I to come then. We had some good laughs and talked about so many different things. That's how I want to remember you until we meet in Heaven. And yes you will be remembered for being full of forgiveness and grace and that you did not give up on me until you found me when I was lost for a time. Thank you for teaching me so much about caring about family and sticking together when things are rough at times. Thank you for taking me camping, going shopping at the La Ropa in Texas. And thank you for teaching me how to waterski. Lots of life's lessons are to be learned from that oddly enough. I will miss you soooo much until we meet again big sister. Love You Always, Corky.

So sorry to hear about Dee's passing. I worked with her at the DOT in the MV Information Center and have so many memories of her. We had good times! She was so proud of all her children and grandchildren. She was a great lady.
