Aunt DeDe always saw the beauty in others. So warm and kind. I miss you much but my love is so much more! Keep watching over us auntie.

To my Aunt Dee Dee, to whom I love ever so dearly, who has brought nothing but sheer joy and happiness to my life and to those around her. You took the good with the good and the glad with the glad. The one thing you said was nothing good comes form being sad. Be happy happy. 
I did not want to see you go, but I knew you were tired. Plus God had a plan for you (probably to help deal with that Cowboy - that's a funny).
But I know you are in a better place. I know you will always be with me, mind, body, and soul. I'll see you again when my journey is over. I know you're watching over me, careful as I go. 

Love, Your nephew 
Chase

said "happy" "happy"and 
now it is "happy" "happy"
I love you going to miss you but 1 day I will see you again . This is not goodbye because you know we never say goodbye. and if I know you you will be dropping it like its hot.

My sister girl, we laughed, cried,and prayed together, never letting anything stand in our way when it needed to be done. Dee i could always come to you for anything even if it was just a song. Im doing to miss you for so many reasons but most of all your laughter at the end of our phone conversations when I'd say ot you "kiss Sam for me". Be blessed My Sister and now you can" kiss Darlene for me". Much Love, The Hughes Family
