Finally she extended her hand and said, "Hi, I'm Dee what is your name?" I told her mine and she turned to Bill and said she wasn't speaking to him for 3 months because he didn't make an introduction. She kept her word and after 3 months starting speaking with him again. She was a woman of her word. I often noticed if someone new came in the bar she always made a point to find out their name and a little bit about them. When they came back in she remembered their name. That always impressed me. When Bill and I were making our wedding plans for Las Vegas she informed us that she was going with to make sure he didn't back out. It was great having her there. We will miss her very much!

Jim always took me places & did crazy things with me & my friends. I remember the day Jim brought Dee to Altoona to my Mother's place. I was very upset & when I left I really slamed the door. I heard Dee say she will never like me. When Dee & Jim were at Port Wing I got to know Dee better. They run a resort & low & behold Dee didn't know how to fold sheets after they came out of the dryer. Well I showed her how & she never forgot it. One time Larry & I stopped at the bar on our way to Larry's brothers place at White Ash. Dee said she wanted to go & catch some fish. Well we made several stops before we got there but Dee went fishing, caught a lot, cleaned them & took them back to Jim. We stopped at the bar on our way home & he asked if Dee really caught the fish & we told him she sure did. One time we stopped at the bar & Larry ordered some pretzels & Dee asked do you want the whole ones or pieces. Larry said it didn't matter & Dee promptly hit the bag & said you get pieces & I have wanted to do that for a long time. We love her & will miss her.

She would always tell me that she is going to keep an eye on me, and if I did something wrong she would tell. Everytime she caught me giving Jayme a hug. She would give me that look, and say I saw that. She made me feel like I was part of the family. We will all miss her, but she will always be with us.     2 Name: Kathy Duval (kaduval@frontiernet.net) Date: Mon 01 Jan 2007 07:40:07 PM EST Subject: Dee Kistner   I remember how Dee always commented how cute I looked being pregnant back in 1976 with our daughter April!     1 Name: Jayme (jayme@kistnerskorner.com) Date: Mon 01 Jan 2007 05:08:34 PM EST Subject: My mother   Her friendship was an inspiration, her love of people and her laughter was her draw. Her sense of humor was contagious. She was rather give then to recieve. TO know her was to love her. She gave so much and demanded so little. She did more then exist, she LIVED! She did more then listen, she understood. She never took no for an answer, she pushed when others paused. She knew the importance of life and what really mattered. A kinder, gentler more generous and loving woman you may never meet again. My mothers strength and courage was amazing. Her fight for life was admirable. She was a woman of strength and beauty. I watched for years, learned from her, been cared for by her, been loved by her in a way that no one else could ever love me. She has been my guide, my protector, my inspiration, most important- My friend. She will always be these things to me, and alwasy in my heart.
