Deidre, we will miss your big smile, your laughter, your ability to add fun to most any conversation and let's not forget your era of crazy hair styles and colors that always suited your great personality.

Haven't see her for a while, but she was always one of my favorite people. Full of life and laughter! She went to school with my boys for a while when we lived in Madison. She was loved almost as much as her Dad! ( that was an old private joke between us) may God comfort and bless all her family.

Deidre was so special to us. It broke our hearts to lose her. She always had smiles and hugs for us, and made our shopping at Walmart special. We'll always miss her, but she no longer hurts, and we know we'll meet her again one day.
