To the Milos and Callaghan families, I am so sorry to hear of Dede's passing. I think about her all of the time, really. I've had a little scar on my hand since I was ten compliments of Dede's nails. I look at it and think of her little cute face, infectious laugh, and remember all the happy childhood memories we share. I will always remember her this way.
