Dee,

I still can’t believe that I have to write these words to you – it doesn’t feel real that you’re gone. We had plans for brunch and more champagne, more laughs, and more dancing together. You were truly such a bright light, a beautiful person and you brought such joy to our MBA. Moving to the UK and living alone (with Louie) you were someone I always looked forward to seeing at Aldersgate – all those times we snuck Louie upstairs – all the late nights studying (and partying) – you were always there :). My fondest memories of the MBA will always have you in them.

You’ll be missed dearly – never forgotten – always remembered. My sweet MBA mom, I love and miss you – until we meet again. I know you’re up there drinking champagne. Say hi to Louie for me 🙂

Love, Erica 

to Dee’s family – You were truly blessed to have such a such a magnificent person as a part of your family – I can’t imagine the grievances you’re going through right now, but I hope reading this messages bring a little bit of peace in knowing how loved she was by all. Sending so much love your way during this time in navigating her loss.
