Dede, I will cheerish my many childhood memories of you on Christmas day handing out the “ALL” the gifts to myself & other great nieces & nephews at Nannie’s house on Country Club Lane. The day was fun, but nothing compared to the moment we all looked over & saw you preparing to put your Santa hat on. (Glittered with your name…of course) You always remembered each & everyone of us with a special ornament and your “rolled” $1.00. You were alway so thoughtful, gracious and kind. Thank you for the beautiful memories. I will miss you!!
