- [ ] My deepest sympathy to Dee’s family. This tragic news deeply touched my heart. Dee was such a positive influence to me and others with her caring ways. I recall Dee asking me to join her in a practice session with her ballroom dancing instructor. The goal was to learn a Jive dance for an energetic start to a company annual meeting. We practiced a few more times in a large conference room where I was humbled by her talent. We ended up nailing our “Jump, Jive and Wail” routine and the response exceeded our expectations. Dee made me look good in many ways, and that is a reflection of how classy she was. She was a fantastic writer, and the pride she took in her profession was contagious. She taught her team and taught me how to say more using less words. That is an art, and Dee was quite the artist.
