While Dee was employed by Career Service Authority, City and County of Denver, I was her supervisor. We shared many laughing sessions while we worked. One day Herb Abshire, then Personnel Director, came into my office and Dee and I had a very difficult time getting our laughter under control to conduct business. After Herb left my office, we broke into an uncontrollable laughter, tears rolling down our cheeks and all! Dee and I kept in contact after her promotion to DIA as an Airport Service Representative, which she always gave me credit for. I included Dee in my family's celebrations and that included my divorce in 1993. Dee was incredibly supportive and empathetic of me during this very difficult time of my life and I will always be thankful/grateful to her for her support. In 1998, when I underwent a bunionectomy on my left foot, Dee accompanied me to the Littleton Porter Surgery Center and drove me to my mother's home after. As we were walking (me hopping with crutches) up the driveway to my mom's front door, I tripped and landed on my left foot, and we again broke into an uncontrollable laughter that my mother couldn't help but join in on from her front door! I remarried in 2002, and included Dee in some Easter and Thanksgiving celebrations with my new husband (Gene Bargenquast), my daughter (Amber Leigh Florest), my cousin (Donna Lou Vroman), and my brother (Ray Chacon) - a good time was had by all!
