Dee was such a special, friendly person. She had an awesome collection of gathering pictures and having them put into special bounded books from events in her life. I was blessed to have many conversations with Dee, since we were neighbors. It is so unfair to see such a sweet person like Dee to have her life cut short. She will be deeply missed. My daughter had the pleasure of working with her at Altru, which brought a friendship between the both of them. Life is not fair sometimes, but she is now home with our father and someday we will have the pleasure of seeing our friend again. RIP friend! Sandie Antonson and family.
