Ken, I was deeply saddened to hear of Dee Ann's passing. She was a delightful person and always had that great smile everytime I would see her. I know words cannot express the grief you and the girls are experiencing now, but I want you to know you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Dee Ann will truly be missed. Please know I am thinking of you all.

Ken & Kathy & Dori and the kids,
Your mother was the greatest Grandmother to all of your children, I am very sorry for your loss. I remember seeing her face light up when she talked about my enchiladas. That always made me feel good that she enjoyed them that much! I remember all of the practices that she took the children to, she was always on the run, and you could tell she loved every minute of it spending time with the grandkids. You are all in my prayers, and she is resting in heaven looking down on all of you guys!! Its comforting to know that if she cant be here on earth with you, its best that you have an angel looking out for you and your family. God be with you all!
Gabrielle and Thomas Roenbeck and family.
