We find comfort in the knowledge that Deanna is in charge of many things and sharing in her master's happiness.
His master replied, "Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!" ~Matthew 25:21

From hanging out together at Rivers at Camp "O" to getting our picture taken in a photo booth at Nationals even to discussing our dreams of being state line officers together next year, Deanna truly left an impact on my life. I am sorry that I only got to spend 8 days with her. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family during this tragic time.

To Ruth and Family,
Our Deepest Deepest Symphany go out to you and your Family. Deanna was a very nice young women, who will be missed very much, to see her at school and tracter supply she always had a smile on her face. Watching her walk down the hallway when she hurt her foot and asking her where her crutches were she said I'm making my foot heal faster and I told her go and get your crutches she would smile and laugh. When she shaved her hair she came to see me and said how do I look, I said you really look good, she said do you think so and I said yes. She will be missed very much. You should be very proud of her and what she has accomplished in her 18 years of life. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your Family, and know she will always be in your Heart.

Deanna was always one of those people that you could go to for anything and it didn't matter what it was. She supported you for anything and everything you did, always making people feel better, lively just better about themselves. I know during bowling, if i was ever feeling down she could just run over, be hyper and it would almost automatically put me in a better mood. love ya.

My deepest sympathy and prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time.
I first met Deanna at the Bald For Bucks at SGI, as my son Joshua was also participating. Joshua speaks so highly of Deanna, and although I did not know her that well, she sounds like she was a wonderful person and will be missed by so many. For a young women to be as involved and caring as Deanna was reflects the upbringing that she had.
As a parent I can only imagine the pain a sorrow that you are going through and wish that there were words or something that I do to somehow ease the pain. I see the pain that my son Joshua is going through having a friend and classmate pass. He speaks of how much fun they had dancing on Saturday night, of Deanna's constant smile, of the pain that he and others felt when first hearing of the accident, of speaking to her boyfriend and others at school and so much more. All of this concretes in what a great person she truly was.
Again, all of my thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family.
December 5, 2007
May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Deanna was a wonderful girl. We weren't the best of friends, but she seriously always made you smile if you looked sad. She always tried to make you feel better. I had the chance to cheer with her on the Varsity Basketball team, which was very interesting just knowing deanna. She has deeply reached a lot of the senior class. This year Deanna was in my public speaking class and i got to know her even better. She truthfully cared for Mike. She talked about him in all her speeches.I am so sad that she had to leave us and she will be missed.

Deanna was a great friend. We were in gym class together for the last two years. At the begining of the year we played football together in gym and Deanna made it so much fun. Even though we didnt talk much Deanna always knew when i was upset. She would always come up and ask how i was and she would always make me smile. She was a great girl and she always put everyone before herself. She did a lot of great things such as donating blood and also going bald for bucks. I will always remember her.

Although Sue and I did not know Deanna as well as we would have liked to , we count ourselves as honored that we were part of her collection of friends. We do not know why we were picked by her, but we were and we are forever thankful that we were. We loved her and will miss her as if she was one of our own children. You and your family can take comfort that her work here on earth was finished and she is with The Lord in Heaven. He is saying to her"Good Job. You are a good and faithful servent. I have prepared a place for you." If there is anything that Sue and I can do to try to help ease your pain, please contact us.
