My dear, dear and very special friend! Wally, Jill, Tripp, Robbie and the rest of the family. No words can express how much I will miss Deannie. That said, you will miss her much more. Please draw on your wonderful memories to go forward with the life she wants you to continue. I pray for you the comfort only God can provide. She was very special.
