I am thankful for having had the opportunity to be a part of this family. Aunt Dee Dee was a perfect example of the women in our family; strong and determined, yet loving and compassionate.

There were times when my generation would call on our grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles for advice; and there were also occasions (way too few) when I would ask to hear stories of their childhood and of their parents. I wish that I had listened more closely and that I had asked more, many more questions. Those opportunities are gone forever now.

It’s time to give more attention to my amazing brothers and sisters; to my kids and grandkids; to my nieces and nephews, and to my cousins. All of you are a part of my life story and I would love to hear about what’s going on in all of your lives.

Looking at our own siblings, kids, grandkids, and cousins, it’s apparent that some of those most cherished qualities of our elders (love, kindness, caring, high morals, & principles) are alive and creating to their own family legacy. You are each very special gifts to those around you and I can only wish for you the best of health, and plenty of time for self, family and friends.

Aunt Dee Dee’s passing is another reminder that it’s time to share more of our own stories with our spouses, kids and grandkids; as well as a time to really listen to the younger generation and seek to understand their worries, concerns, and aspirations.

Love & Hugs to all of my wonderful family! Love & Miss you Dee Dee!

Tim & Jan Clifford

Dee Dee, I know you are now with Uncle Steve and all your family that have passed. For that reason I can be happy for you. You will be missed. I can still remember Henry's Bend and swimming in the river with you many years ago when I was a young girl. I should probably add another "many" in that sentence. Hope that gave you a smile. You had so much love for all your nieces and nephews, and then their children. We just kept them coming didn't we!  I am so thankful that the last time I saw you, this past summer, we shared some laughs. I will miss you laughing. I will miss you. Please know you will never be forgotten. I love you.
....if you would..please give love and kisses to mum and dad for me when you see them. Forever love....
