My dad and I really enjoyed getting to know Dee over the last few years. “She was a great table mate and always made sure I got an extra piece of banana bread.”
She was very upbeat and ready to chat even through
Bill’s illness and her own. Father misses her company at meals.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
She was a friend and a sister in P.E.O.and in Christ,with a gentle and quiet spirit but strong in her resolve. She is one to be admired, a remarkable lady. Her smile, her devotion to her husband,family and friends. Many are the times we came away with rolls or candy in hand-her way of saying “thank you,” The cherished times we travelled together to our Small Group meetings and the cherished objects to remember both Dee and Bill – two small olive wood cups that they used for communion while in Israel.Bill and Dee are now safely in the arms of Jesus. They left a legacy of love.
Even though she could not see, she saw the beauty in all that their was.
