Survived by the one love of my life, my husband, Paul, who made me feel beautiful and loved for 47 years; our son, Paul, the great joy of my life; our grandson, Paul, how proud I am of him; daughter-in-law, Barbara, the stabilizing force of that trio; my sisters, Jeannette, Helen and Kay - what a team. We were led by our wonderful Mom who went home to be with the Lord in 1978. Followed by our eldest sister, Laura.
I am confident we will all be together someday. Brothers-in-law, Dicky Porupski and Al Herst, all my wonderful nieces and nephews, cousins by the dozens, all dear to me. My mother-in-law of 47 years, Mabel Lentz, and countless friends, each adding something special to my life.
My Pastors, Donovan Tinsley and George Bass, who both added a spiritual dimension to my life that has sustained me over the years. To my doctors and staff, you gave me your best and several more quality years through your skills and commitment. I salute all my care givers and Flagler staff.
I leave here excited to begin the journey that will take me into eternity, yet saddened for this moment in time for all my loved ones I leave behind. Encouraged though, by the thought that we will meet again in time.
Love to all and written by DeeDee.
