I met Deidre at a very young age when my family moved to Salt Lake City. I believe I was around 8, she was about 11. We grew up just houses away from each other on Stardust Drive. Although we lost touch over the past few years I still thought of her often. She talked about "her girls" all the time and loved you all so dearly. I will miss her. Fondly, Sis

Thank you all for your kind words. It has been a rough couple of years with dad passing and now mom. Our questions still go unanswered, but we know that dad met her in heaven. Deidre lived a life that I wish that I could have changed. Mom, Im so happy that you met the love of your life and that the two of you are back together again. We will miss you and love you so very much.
