I have lost a good friend, with her passing... I enjoyed calling her up and our chats were comforting to my soul.. She is already missed, and there is a Big Hole in my soul where she was.. Enjoy heaven, Dee, until we meet again...
Miss Dee and I had an arrangement or agreement rather. We were talking about La. cooking and it seems years ago she stayed in Breaux Bridge and fell in love with crawfish etouffee . My word to her is that if she returned to the area I would make her a gallon or 2 to bring home. Next time I cook a pot it will be in her Honor. Still hard to receive the news, Rest in peace Miss Dee
RIP. My thoughts and prayers to her family, friends, and loved ones, and that includes many of us here.
I cant believe it, she was in my mind the perfect lady in one package. She always had kind things to say to Amy and I. They say friends are the family we choose. Being chosen was one of the good moments of my life and when I learned Dee passed, it was one of the worst moments of my life. 20+ years went by in a blink of an eye. Without her founding this site it would have looked very much different, she always had a great point of view and looked at things differently at times and was just what we needed in our site and lives. I am better for knowing her, better for having her in my life over the years, May you be as blessed in the next life, my friend Dee , as I was in this one by knowing you. RIP my friend.
That's one of the bad things about being old. So many of our friends leave before us. I'll miss her too.
I just dont have the words. She was a bright and shining star in this world and it is a darker place with her gone. I don't think she would mind sharing this here, we were all her family. Obituary for Diedre Dickson | Holmes Watkins Funeral Home
Personal losses such as this is much harder to take than the general case of passings. Thanx for that Mm.
A true loss. I never knew her except through postings on this site. Any subject upon which she opined was richer for her contribution. Her perspective lent an even keel to the to-and-fro of sometimes heated opinions among us all. No one is irreplaceable, because that is the way of things, but she will be missed, and we will be all the poorer for her absence.
You take for granted that people are going to always be here. I guess, in some way, that disguises the reality that we are mortal beings. To say that hearing of Dee's passing was a shock would be an understatement. I relied on her judgement, her steady charting of a course for the forum and her wisdom.... I am deeply saddened by this news.
For me she cut clearly to the chase that we will always have Trolls and Bullies on our site. RH suggested to me. Give them time and they will end their time on the Monkey by their actions. (paraphrased)
This one hurts bad. This morning on my fb memories I noticed CRC had commented on the memory from years ago. Today I find out Dee is gone. Two of our best and brightest. I loved those two women immensely. Dee was truly about as close to what I envision as being the perfect lady. She had it all, looks, brains, and a softness that made you putty in her hands. She was class, but so damn strong. I’ll miss our messages back and forth, she was such a beautiful lady inside and out. We are truly, greatly diminished.I take solace in always being her favorite Texan.
Nicely said Sir. I don't profess to have known her well out side of a few parts orders and the occasional chat. She always struck me as someone who would be fun to have supper and spend the evening with. One evening we got to chatting about cars we had, have or wish we'd had. When I think of her I smile and remember that chat. She was one cool Lady and I shall miss seeing her on this board.
