Judy "Deana" Dean Hurst Eckert

I cannot express the heartbreak I feel for the Eckert Family, and all the families suffering from this terrible tragedy. Although I did not personally know Mrs. Eckert, I have seen her around New Albany. Always with a kind word and smile, which helped me on a bad day once. I wish I had been there to help her ... She is in a place where violence does not exist now. She will always be watching over her loved ones... My heart is with you.

So sorry for your loss Eckert family. Deana was a wonderful person who brought joy into every room she walked into. To Ben and rest of family, the Hammons family thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mike...my deepest sympathy for you and your family's profound loss. Though Deana and I had lost touch over the years, fond memories have always remained. I hope that your eternal love brings some respite from the pain.

To Ben, and the rest of the Eckert family, I cannot fathom what you all are having to go through. I mourn for your loss, and pray that God would watch over your family as you get through these dark times. May Deana rest in peace, and may you all reunite in Heaven one day.

Ben and Emily- so very sorry for the loss of your mother. May you find peace in the outpouring of love for you and in your family memories.

I did not know Deana or her family, but I am a banker too, and I can't imagine the pain that this untimely death has caused her family and friends. My heartfelt sympathies go out to all who knew Deana. God bless.

Sending an outpouring of love and prayers. You all are thought of daily and keeping you in our hearts!!!!

God's speed and God bless your family.

So sad to hear this news. I remember Deana and her family well from Hill n Dale Christian Church and the dance studio in Lexington where our daughters danced together. Prayers fro peace for the entire family!
