John,
So sorry to hear about Deidre. You and your daughter are in my thoughts and prayers. Deidre was a joy to be around. She lit up the room with her smile and personality. I will be forever grateful to have known her and to have had you guys apart of my banking days. I enjoyed our conversations. She loved you and your daughter so much. I am so thankful I ran into you guys at the Christmas party and was able to catch up with her. I will continue to pray for you and Athena.
