I am sorry to hear of the loss of Dee! I was her godson. She and Cecil were good freinds with my parents. Regretfully I had lost touch with her only to find out she resided near by.

To Nancy, Jim, Cleo and Families: I have thought of Aunt Dee so much lately and just want you all to know that she was such a warm and special lady to our family. I know Gram & Grandpa Hagan (Greg & Evie) and my parents (John & Mary Claire Ryan) thought the world of her too. May your memories help sustain you. You're in my prayers. Fondly, Claire Hennessey
