Such a nice, nice lady with the smile and laugh that was instantly contagious. You have to smile just remembering her and Floyd, with whom she can again hold hands and be together forever with Our Lord.
I didn’t know her but Dede is one of my best friends and I wish you all comfort and peace in your time of grieving.
Fantastic lady prayers and respect for the Poff family
Very beautiful woman anyone who had the privilege of knowing her instantly realized how deep her Christian faith went she will be greatly missed but lives on in her family!
I will miss my beautiful, loving aunt. She always had a smile, a big hug for me and her cooking was amazing!
I remember her as a child in Sunday School. She always seemed so joyous. After years of no seeing her I was greeted so warmly. I still make her delicious pineapple cake
To Kathy & Doug,
So sorry to hear of your loss. I didn’t know your Mom- Kathy- but have been sending prayers up before our Father’s throne to bring comfort and peace to you, Doug and your families. Don’t know where you are living- so thought I’d send this thru the Guestbook site. Been a long time since we have seen each from Bethel, MN
