Guestbook

  1. I’m so grateful to have known Aunt Dee through her niece Mary. As soon as we met she accepted me and loved me as one of her own. Heaven has gained an angel. We who are left without her here are the ones who grieve. It is with sincere sympathy I send to the family my love. May you find comfort in the arms of Jesus. Donna Coffman

  2. Condolences to your family. As I was reading the Reporter-Times obituaries I read some names I recognized from my family genealogy. I am a great-granddaughter of Florence Whitesell, and the granddaughter of Norma and Dude Farren. If anyone is interested in genealogy I would like to hear from you. My name is Jill Farren Coffey and I live in Martinsville. My number is (765)349-2985. Once again, I’m sorry for your loss.

  3. My Darling Sister Dee, You have touched our lives in so many wonderful ways. Myself and my family will remember you always for the love and joy you brought into our lives. You will be sadly missed by all of us. Your Loving Sister, Barbara Sullivan John Sullivan Mary Sullivan-Tschetter Jeff Tschetter Adam Tschetter Ryan Tschetter Alexis Tschetter Juliet Tschetter
