Dear Donnie, Denise, Susie and Terri, I have not seen your mom for a number of years but she was a very important part of my life. We were always together when we were neighbors on Bock Street in Wolf Lake.We shared alot of hours laughing and crying together, shopping, visiting like girlfriends do, and taking care of each others little ones. She was so special to me and now I'll never see her again. I can't believe how busy we get with life and don't make it a priority to get together with old friends. Intentions are always good but after we moved to Ohio I only saw Dede once or twice. She's been on my mind as of late and I thought I'd come to Muskegon and look her up this spring. I am so sad that I didn't even know she was ill and won't get that opportunity. She was so good to me and had a wonderful way about her. Always laughing. She loved her family and all 4 of my children just loved her. She, like me, had many grandchildren and two great grandchildren. We would have still had much in common. I know she is renewed and with our Lord 'dancing on streets of gold'. I always loved her, will miss her so much and will never forget her. Our heartfelt sympathy and prayers to all of you children, to Larry, to the rest of her family and those others she loved and loved her back.

Donnie,Susan,Eenise,Terri.So sorry for your loss of your mom. I have fond memories of her and always will back at our old neighbor hood in Wolf Lake. I know that God called her home so that she doesn't have to suffer with pain anymore. I know that it isn't easy to go on with life, God has a way of helping us to get through all of it.
God Bless all of you and your dad.
