My deepest sympathy on your loss. Dee Ann's sweet smile embraced me the first time I met her. Throughout our girls lives in Bronte, I always enjoyed her positive, uplifting attitude. No matter what our kids were going through, she always looked at the good in all of it. Although our paths changed throughout our lives, I thank God for the sweet memories of her.
Wishing your family peace that brings comfort, courage to face today and the days ahead and loving memories imprinted on your hearts.

DeeAnna was very special..She had a gift for putting others at ease and chatting while really listening. She was the same as a young girl, teen, and young woman. Rest In Peace in Gods arms sweet friend.

It is difficult to say what I will miss the most about DeeAnna, because it is an understatement there were so many great things about her. I think if I had to say one thing, though, it would be her smile. She just did have the ability to light up a room and at every Thompson gathering, she was always the one I flocked to. She was so full of life and fun. Her legacy is certainly carried on through her precious children, who also all have the same adoring quality that she had. I am a better person for having known her, and I will remember her always.
Peace to you Donnie, Jon, Scott, Kara and your darling littles during this time. Lean on your family, as we are here for you. Love,
Amanda Thompson (and my peeps)
