Pagan Family, my sincere condolences. Losing someone you love is never easy, and it’s even harder when their life feels cut short.

The Bible gives us real comfort at John 11:11, Jesus compares death to a peaceful sleep, and Jehovah promises to wake our loved ones again. Acts 24:15 reminds us of that beautiful hope of the resurrection. May this hope give you comfort and strength as you look forward to seeing Deanna again.

Deanna came into our lives not long after I started taking accordion lessons from her mother Irma in the mid 1950s.  She became an integral part of our family for many years and in our hearts forever.  She was funny, loving , understanding and very smart. I will always be grateful for her friendship. 

My love to each of her family who survive her.
