DEANNA "DEE" BRISCOE

FOREVER 28

Dee was the sweetest, most loving person. The kind of person whose presence felt like home, whose kindness made the world a softer place. She gave without hesitation, loved without limits, and carried a warmth that those who knew her best will never forget.

Her smile—that smile—was unforgettable. It wasn’t just something she wore; it was something she shared, something that could light up even the darkest of days. Her beautiful smile and caring heart,” her loved ones say, are what they will remember most.

She was a mother, a granddaughter, a sister, a daughter—each role she carried with love and devotion. The ones who loved her most will always cherish the memory of her walking across the graduation stage, a symbol of her hard work and determination. They will always hold close the moment she became a mother, the day she held her son for the first time, her love for him so deep, so pure, so unshakable.

If only one more moment were possible, if only time could grant one last word, there would be no need for her family to tell her anything grand—just the simplest, truest words of all: "I love you so much."

She is missed beyond measure, but she is not lost. She remains in the laughter of her child, in the stories told by those who knew her best, in the love that will never fade. Some hearts are too big, too full, too beautiful to ever be forgotten. Hers is one of them.
