Kristy, Tom and Families: I did not know your mom well but remember her first from Montgomery Wards and then being in a group that I would see her. She was always so sincere and kind. Sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry to hear about sweet Dee. She was so good to my Great Grandmother Correa and it was wonderful to get to know her again when Grandma Billing moved into Brookdale. Please know my heart is with you at this tough time.

She was the most sought after caregiver in the Hermiston area. She also had the gift of remembering names of everyone she ever met. She never said an unkind word about anyone. God bless your grief Kristy and Tom.

Dear Kristy & family, please know you're in my thoughts & prayers as I remember your Mom. I think I first met her riding in the taxi with my Mom, taking your Mom to work at Montgomery Wards on Main street. Your Mom was always so nice, inviting me over for playtime & later years when I came over she was so warm & welcoming. Over the years when I would run into her she always knew who I was and again always warm & kind. Sending my love my friend, Suzi
