Not sure what to say?

Rest well shipmate!

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.

May the Good Lord comfort the family and friends

My dear, beautiful, amazing friend. The world is a little darker without you here. Your humor, beauty, compassion and love will be greatly missed. I miss you my friend.

Deidre so thankful we were able to re connect at our reunion in Las Vegas many years ago. You will be missed.

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.

I have known Deidre for years and she was a good friend! I am heart broken to see this. I am truly going to miss her. Sending the warmest wishes and sympathy to her family!

I'll always remember those wonderful times we had while stationed together at NSGA Key West FL. Rest n Peace
