Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to hear about Deanna. I worked with Deanna in St. Louis, and I could not get enough of her! I last talked with her in Oct. when she told me of her illness. She was always so upbeat, and her smiling face just made your day. I am so glad to have known her, and she will be close to my heart forever!

Carl: I am so sorry you have had to endure Deanna's suffering and now her untimely demise. There is no good time to lose a wife. Please accept my condolences and sympathy. - Don Weihl

You and Deanna's family are in our prayers. I am sure she is rejoicing in her new life.

She was fun to work with at Memorial and always had a postive attitude, even in trying times.
My sympathy to her family and friends. She will be missed.
