DEENIE was a close friend of my mother's, Helen May Ostrander-Mitchell-Tosta in the 50's. I last spoke with her at my nephew's funeral (Stacy Carey) in 2004 in Merced, CA.
I remember all of you living in Crows Landing and my mother stopping for a coffee chat in the mornings after dropping us off at Bonita Grammar School. She was a beautiful woman, inside and out. I will not forget her and ask for GOD'S BLESSING for her and her family. Wish I had a picture. Love, Jeanne (Johnny, Jeanette, and Janice) GO WITH GOD.

I have so many happy memories of Deenie as a little girl n young adult. My mother Helen Tosta and Deenie where best of friends and created such fun....sweet.....memories together and they always included family. Such a loss for your family and to us all. She amazed me that as an adult she remembered me and 11 years ago came to my son's memorial service. ..I loved her even more for that.......such a wonderful person.. RIP Sweet Deenie My mother would say the world was a better place because she was in it!
