Adelia was so very special to me. She will be greatly missed, but I know she is in Awe of Heaven right now. What a beautiful sight it must be!
We are sharing in your sorrow for the loss of a loving Christian lady. Miss Dee Dee was a wonderful neighbor and friend to us all. Love and prayers from the Narron family.
Dee Dee was a terrific lady and had a great sense of humor. We loved to hear her laugh. While we miss her, we take great comfort in knowing she is with her Lord and Savior this day.
