To Charles and the Goree family...
We were so heartbroken when we heard of Dee's passing. She was always fun, hardworking, and a joy to be around. I can remember several instances when the party was at your house!
If there is anything to say, it is to lean on the Lord and He will give you strength to get through this. He is only a prayer away. Know that we love you and will continue to keep you in our prayers.
