"You aren't just aunt you're also the best friend we could ever had. Aunt Dee you will always be an inspiration to the entire family. When I'm asked who is your second mom, I always smile and say, My aunt Dee. You played a big role as an aunt / second mom in our lives and for that we will always remain grateful. You had so many roles that you took on personally such as surrogate mother and other times friend, mentor, and advisor. You're pretty amazing! Aunt Dee you were built with strength, determination and a heart of gold. When it comes to aunts / second moms, we got the best one! I don't know what We did to deserve such an amazing aunt like you but we?re so proud of the amazing memories you left with us. you will forever be in the center of or memories and our hearts. I know when you arrived in heaven you were guided by the best of souls. So for know Carol, Jimi , Jaclyn and I will send you off with this Irish prayer. May God hold you in the palm of His hand. ... May your days be many and your troubles be few, May all God's blessings descend upon you, May peace be within you, May your heart be strong, May you find what you're seeking wherever you roam. Love from the Pratt family."
