Mr. McKinney, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family for your loss. May God continue to keep you in his care.
My Sincere Condolences to the Family we were Classmates from Hidden Valley Elem, Cochran Jr High and MPHS GRADUATES of the class of 1983. Dee Dee was the sweetest person you could ever meet may her memories be cherished by her family and former Charlotte NC CLASS OF 1983,RIP
Speechless but I'm full of wonderful memories, like skipping school with DeeDee to see her grandma off NTryon (surprising because DeeDee followed rules 🥰) I remember her being so happy when she made cheerleader at Cochrane Jr. High. As we grow older I think of the Gospel song may the works I've done Speak for Me. Deedee's incredible life experiences will continue forever through US. God Bless the family and friends who love her🥰🥰#HughesDriveForever https://youtu.be/twr9-2_IZag
