Dear Ashley Family,
I am truly sorry for your loss! I worked with Dee at Grand View and was a privilege to call her my friend. She made me laugh and was a great listener when I needed one. She always invited my wife and I to join her dancing and having fun times. She was one of a kind and will be greatly missed. Sincerely, Carl Tiffany
