Testimonials

I wanted to take a moment to thank Ms. Dee for always being so pleasant and just an absolute pleasure to work with. During such a difficult time in our lives, Ms Dee treated my family like her own . She is very polite and empathetic and made us feel like we mattered. With all the craziness that has come in 2020 amidst COVID, it's reassuring to know that there are still good caring people in this world. I wanted to make sure Ms. Dee knew how much her kindness contributed to the healing for our family. Thank you for being you!

Thank you Northridge Woodhaven for taking such great care of our family at a time we needed extra. The loss of a child is never easy, yet alone the loss of an infant is even more devastating. Mrs. Dee was so compassionate and gentle with all the intricate details down to assisting with the design of the memorial to celebrate our dear Bailey. Thank you again Northridge staff for your care and compassion and thank you Mrs. Dee for being where God must have had a hand at placing you to love on His people at their time of need.

His love for development of kids drove him to be a Coach, General Manager of Baseball Operations, and Life Time Member of BYAA.
