When I think about my childhood all that seems to cross my mind is this beautiful woman who played a big part in raising me I call her my angel. If it wasnt for her my brother & I would of missed out on many opportunities but because of her hard work & love for us we had the world at the palm of our hands. My grammy is my hero. Her sense of humor & her ability to keep a smile on my face is what kept me going.... The past couple of days have been tough as so many thoughts of you run through my mind ..thoughts of being alittle girl walking down the board walk with you at the beach ....seeing your face light up as you talk about your favorite war hero (audie murphy) that face you wouldnt like something..all the support you gave me though my 13 yrs of cheerleading you were my biggest fan..your dreams of winning the lottery & taking haley too disney... Telling me stories about the stone house & the garfield...and sooo many more memories I could go on forever...im really going to miss your cooking nobody can cook like my grammy... I hope you and aunt bonney are eating good up there give her a kiss for me... I love you.... The strongest woman I knew its going to be a lonely road with out you watch over andrew haley & I ...& please visit me in my dreams....till we meet again... bushel & a peck

I learned many different things from you, everything from our Irish heritage to some of the best jokes I've ever heard. And at times I knew how to get you fired up about something say…. Rosa Parks in the rotunda. To those close with Deanna knew this was a topic that she could go off on for hours at a time. I'll never forget the many stories you told about the good times you had with my mom when you both would be out at castle gardens or one of my favorite stories the $75 cheesesteaks because actor turned right on red. You made your great sense of humor rub off onto me and of course playing the pa lottery. Like you said when I gave you change back “Throw it up in the air!” I'm going to make it a new habit to throw my tickets up in the air and maybe hit big just like we all dream of. These are the many memories I have with one of the best aunts a niece could ask for. All who knew you were blessed and will never forget the memories we made with you.
