dear tom
I just searched the internet for you guys to find an address to send you a quick note and found out about dede's death. I'm so sorry to hear this.

Tom:
I met Dede when she first arrived in Montana when she and Za showed up on touring bikes at the St Mary's Ranger Station in Glacier Park before fall training camp (I think they were 17 years old at the time! I was amazed at their adventurous spirit.) I was lucky enough to share a season of cross country with her in Missoula. She was a true character, and I can only imagine what a great woman she turned out to be - you must have many wonderful memories. I am terribly sorry for your...

I'm so sorry to hear of your tragic loss. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers.

Tom, Morgan and Pipi,
So very sorry to hear of your loss. Dede was an amazing person, full of life and love. We'll miss her quick wit and gentle nature. She had a fun, adventurous spirit, and a laugh we'll never forget. She loved you all so very much. We'll all miss her deeply. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

To the Eitel and Hathhorn Families.
We want to express our deepest sympathy upon learning of your loss of Deirdre. We never met Deirdre but know she was an exceptional person, wife, and mother with a great many accomplishments. Harry, LaRue, and family want you to know our thoughts are with you.

Dear Tom, Morgan, and Pipi,

We think of you during this difficult time. Dede was a treasure and an inspiration to me during our running days in Montana and over the years. Every Christmas I looked forward to the latest Eitel family portrait on your Christmas post cards. Dede's sense of humor always came through. I will miss her greatly and I send all my love to you.

Dear Coach Tom,

I was saddened to hear about Diedre. I remember her taking photos of me during track and outside of track. She truly knew her photography... I also had the opportunity to run with her in at least one Bozeman race. She always had the biggest smile on her face. You and the little ones will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Tom,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Deirdre was such a wonderful woman. I will keep you, Morgan and Pipi in my thoughts and prayers.
