I'm am going to miss your company on our travel to Pincher Creek and Blairmore for work. You were a good friend. My thoughts are with family and friends.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dee while working at RBC. She was an enjoyable person to be around, so sweet, kind, a wealth of knowledge and the best baker ever! If ever one walked into the lunchroom and there was random baking on the staff room table we always knew Dee and her mom were hard at work preparing it together. I'm fortunate enough to have scored her amazing shortbread recipe that she shared with me, so grateful. I know how deeply she will be missed by everyone there. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and fur babies whom I know how much she adored as well as her RBC family. RIP beautiful lady ?
