Each day was a blessing.
Every friend was a joy.
All her family, a treasure.

Her entire life was a beautiful dance.

Come. Sit awhile and share your fondest memories of our beloved Dee. Dance again with her by sharing your words and your songs. Your tears and your laughter. And mostly, your love and your life.

We used to sing this song at the summer camp I worked at. It was a way to say good-bye to another summer while showing that it would always be in your heart and memories. It is the song that keeps playing in my head when I think of Dee.

Today
by: John Denver

"Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine,
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine.
A million tomorrows shall all pass away, 'ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today.


I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover, you'll know who I am by the songs that I sing.
I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover, who cares what tomorrow shall bring?


Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine,
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine.
A million tomorrow shall all pass away, 'ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today.


I can't be contented with yesterday's glory, I can't live on promises winter to spring.
Today is my moment, now is my story, I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing.


Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine,
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine.
A million tomorrows shall all pass away, 'ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today."
