DeDe’s mom, Linda Anderson, asked me to repost this message from her Facebook page. Linda would love to hear from you, so please leave a comment below!
Happy 47th Birthday DeDe! This picture was taken when she first started teaching school and a very important part of her mission in life. Actually she was a great influence on me as her mother from the day she was born. She was rather shy at a young age and in was such a thrill for me to bear witness to her blossoming! The flowers in my garden of memories continue to bloom and bring a light and love to my life! My heart continues to break at losing her so soon but each day I give thanks to God for the “GIFT”! I will love you forever! Mom
Celebrating this day that you came into this life on earth, DeDe, and oddly enough this is a place that I can come visit and leave some thoughts on your birthday. You enter my thoughts so often throughout the year, my dear and supportive comrade in mothering who came to be my beloved sister. Love Cathryn
Missing you DeDe and remembering sweet memories on your special day, and many days in between. Thank you Linda for your amazing strength and example of living with the many fond memories of our friends! She truly was an angel amongst us and I feel very blessed to have had so many wonderful experiences to remember DeDe by!! Love to all the family, here on earth and in heaven!
