Donna Marie, Kimberly and family, Very taken back to learn of Dee's passing. I wish I could have been there for you all. Fond memories of our times we had together! Gee, to think, we have known each other since 1970. Will miss the late night conversations from the Milford Hospital as well as the times we had together. May God rise you up, on angles wings and hold you in the palms of his hands. With great sadness, we say good by, dear friend! With Love, Brenda and Dick Willis
