For Deenie's Family,
So sorry to hear of the loss of our charming and lovely cousin. I will miss her voice over the telephone or in person and her gentle laughter. I will never forget last fall at Cilla's on the beach, with all the girl cousins together. We had a wonderful time and we were looking forward to another in June. Deenie was doing so good, a miracle had happened and God gave us one more time together. We will all cherish the good, happy and fun memories! God bless and comfort you all.
Love,
Cousin Deb
