Deanna has been my best friend for over 50 years, and I can honestly say her friendship has been a true blessing to me. She was that "one of a kind" person who you knew you would only meet once in your life time. I watched her grow into her own person who was gifted with her own unique traits, but her greatest gift was the love she had for her family. Deanna may not have shown it, but her proudest moments were becoming a wife, mother and eventually a grandmother. So while we shared many good times with Deanna, there were those more difficult times as well, but the one constant was the unwavering love she had for each and every one of you. I will hold my time with Deanna, the good and the bad close to my heart. I know she is in a better place now, without illness and pain, but I still miss her terribly. While I can say so many things about my dearest friend, the only things I truly want to say is she was loved, she will be missed, and I will keep her memory with me always and forever. Jo Ann
