May God reward you for the countless lives you enriched through your faith and love. I know he will.

I was privileged and proud to be Deanna's first music teacher! She was a beautiful grade 1, and I put her forward to do her Grade 1 Conservatory exam.

Deanna was enrolled in the Music Department at the University of Regina at the same time as us. We were saddened to hear of her struggles with ALS and of her passing. We have fond memories of her bright smile, her laugh, her dedication to her studies, and of her genuine kindness. Condolences to all whose lives were touched by Deanna.

To the Gutheil Aikman Families, I wish to pass on our condolences to all, our thoughts and prayers are with you at the passing of Deanna. We remember the neighbor hood family as if it was yesterday, God Bless you all.
