Dear Mama, I know you cant read ths. but for who ever does. i want them to know . I had the best mom, she was the most faithful person out there. She always put God first, than daddy. and she always showed us girls her love. no matter how many times we messed up. she never loved us any less. she loved the home day care. and like chrystal said, they were like my extra brothers and sisters. she treated them like her own when they were in her care. i dont think anyone had as big of heart as mom, even when her body turned against her. she stayed strong. she never gave up. she could always cheer you up. but most of all give good Godly adivice. i have a empty whole in my heart without her. but she is in such better place. she upgraded in life. And i know because she served a living God. and she excepted Jesus into her heart. And i did as will. we will see each other again. And we can go running hand and hand in heaven. love you mommy.

Thank you Dee Dee for laying a strong foundation for my boys. They were forever touched by your loving care, and our family continues to benefit from what you gave them 28 years ago.
Go in Peace my friend. You touched so many people here and now it is time to care for all of Gods children that have gone before us! I know they will be well taken care of with you as the caregiver.

Our Hearts and Prayers are with you all. Our family will never forget the loving way Aunt DeeDee ran her Daycare program. There was love and care for all of her "adopted" little ones. My own children, included. My youngest (28 yrs. old now) started crying. That is how much she meant to us.
