Dear Brown Family. My heart is saddened by the news of DeeDee’s passing. Growing up with my best friend Jamie (Wise) Pulkrabek, I was welcomed into this family in so many occasions. Dee Dee was such a sweet soul with a wonderful laugh. I don’t remember a time she didn’t have a smile on her face. Her love for her family was so evident to anyone who knew her. She is greatly missed. Judy and Don Meidinger
