Dear Van Wettering family,I was very sad to see Dee’s obituary. It had been many years since I laid eyes on her. She was my boss at Gateway Cards in Village Mall which would later become Hallmark Cards. She was a joy to work for. I never saw her get angry or be unkind.May the Holy Spirit fill you all with his comfort and peace now and in the days to come! God bless each one of you!Susan Rudd
