Dear was a pleasant and positive young lady at Lyons Middle School. So sad to lose Wildcat at such a young age. I fondly remember Lea as a classmate of our daughter Stephanie. Sympathy and prayers to her family.
Sorry for the auto fill typo of Dea’s name.
I am so very sad to hear this. I cannot remember the last time I saw Dea. We grew up together and I always liked her. She was always so nice and very smart. I am so very sorry for your loss. Sending all of you hugs and prayers. ????????????????????????.
