I’ll miss my Auntie Dee dearly. She was one of the kindest and most giving souls I have ever met. Not only was she a great wife, mother, and grandmother, she was also ‘Mom’ to a lot of animals that didn’t have a home. She was always a nurturer. I’ll miss he smile, her laugh, and how she never stopped calling me ‘Joey’. The world will never be the same without her.
God Bless her soul. May she rest in peace.
