Mrs. Wind was the coolest mom on Kylemore...she was kind and always made everyone feel welcome in her home. She always had a pot of tea brewed and would served those yummy cookies from Holland that were shaped like a windmill. Mrs Wind was known to make a good slush drink too! My condolences to the Family, may it be comforting to know that others are thinking of you during this difficult time. - Posted by: Barbara Magnifico-Tome and Family (Friend) on: Oct 22, 2012

Dessa was a great friend and neighbor. She always had time to chat and have coffee or tea ready. We spent many hours together on Kylemore Street laughing and talking. She loved a good joke or a bad one. Dessa was always ready to go for a trip to the mall or shopping. We even got our ears pierced together on a whim one day. She will be missed and thought of often. - Posted by: Harold & Kris Sprung (Friends) on: Oct 22, 2012
