I’m very sorry for your lost. I’m not going to be there in person but will catch the services. Dede and I had fun times as we grew up I remember the time we feld aunt lolly ill captained with frogs got in a little problem for that . Well good buy for now Dede until we meet again love you
I am one of Dede's many cousins, my parents are Sug and Donna Sweeney. We didn't live close to each other but we did visit and I would stay for a week or so during some summers. I loved her laugh and enjoyed our time spent together. As we got older we lost touch and was busy raising our own families. Time goes by so fast, but I would like her family to know she was loved by me and will never be forgotten.
