We, the family of Dee, sincerely express our deep and heart felt appreciation to those who lovingly cared for Dee. Professional Hospice was an immense help, especially Allison, Angela and Heather, at RNRB, Kay Lowe loved her “Granny” and so did Sierra, Sissy and many other caring staff.

For many years, Dee looked forward a lot to her weekly appointment with Becky who kept her hair “looking good.” May the Lord bless each of you, as you are truly blessings to many.
