Dee will live forever in my memories. I will always remember her visits to Tennessee at our house. It was a time filled with joy and excitement because we (my family) could never afford to go anywhere. One year on my 16th birthday we were able to visit with her in Ohio. My best birthday ever. My mom and Dee had a birthday party for me.....it broke my heart when we had to leave and return back to home. This is what we should remember about Dee.
