    Like many others I never met deedee,
    but I'm sure If I needed her help she would have been in like a shot

    The post from dalip shows what a kind loving giving person she was.

    Deedee God bless you,
    PROUD TO BE DEALING WITH MY DEBT NERD #869

    Do you know.

    She was badley hurt in car accident that killed her husband and young son. She then developed ovarian cancer. She was paralysed from the chest down,with limited use of her arms. Her family lived away.Her Husbands family where so consumed by grief at the loss of their son that they had little contact with her.


    She still worked from home.

    But she spent her time here helping others.

    No matter what got thrown at her she never let it get her down.

    She was pleased that this christmas she had two carers who did not have to rush off to family. So she decided to treat them to lunch at a nice country hotel. Her words " well i have to spend my allowance on something":D .The day was planned

    Despite the fact that they had to load the van with oxygen,chair ect, they made it.

    She told me a few dinners made comments and she had a few looks but that the waiters were wonderful.

    When i said how angry that made me,she brushed it aside and took it in her stride and shrugged it off.That was deedee

    She followed our meet thread in aug,sorry that she could not be there to meet you,but never sorry for herself.

    Amazing person who joined this forum in 2003.

    Just wanted some of you to know the real deedee.

    Godbless sweetheart and thankyou for everything. DawnX
    Thanks Dawn,
    Wow, hearing stuff like this really puts money worries into perspective doesn't it? Well I for one would never have guessed that Dee had such a struggle going on in her life, she always seemed so positive. Truly inspirational.
    Come ride with me, through the veins of history...
    I'll show you how God falls asleep on the job.

    Thanks or all the messages. I sure it will help sarah and dee's other carers to know that there are so many on this forum who will miss her.

    As sarah said one of dee's favourite sayings was "you only get out of life what you put in". That just about sums namaste dedee up.

    Take care sarah and hope these messages help in some small way.

    Please tell us when the party is and we will all go to the bc inn and raise our glasses to dee.X

  • Thanks to Dalip for raising this thread...you were obviously right to be worried. It's not the kind of news that I expected. My condolences to Deedee and her family and friends. Goodbye Deedee. Rest in peace.
  • I have been away for a couple of days and came back to this thread hoping that there would be good news of Deedee. How sorry I am to read of her demise. Dalip I am sorry for you, you seem to have lost a great friend. My thoughts are with all who knew her and your loss.
    :rolleyes: Money Talks ...
    but all mine ever says is Goodbye! :rolleyes:

    I didn't know Deedee but she seemed like a truly inspirational person.

    My thoughts are with her.
    No more I can say really.
