“Grandma Dee Dee, You sure have been missed a lot in Indiana. The family here has grown beyond your belief. I remember all of the times we stayed with you and watching for your car to pull in our driveway. We all wish you had never left us. Why?? That is the neverending question. Why did you have to follow Jim Jones? He was just a man. You were a strong person, why did you make such a mistake?We Loved You! Missing you, Donna your Grand Daughter ” - Donna Cordell
