but he did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way.

Natasha & Kyle
My sincere condolences on the loss of a lovely young lady taken way too soon. My prayers and thoughts are with you all at this time. As one who has also lost a sibling, a grandchild, parents, but worst of all, a child, I often I asked why, but then realize how fortunate I was to have them in my life for the time I did. Memories, photographs and mementos keep their Spirits alive. This pain is not something that can be cured but does lessen with time. Deanna was a wonderful young woman and now is a wonderful guardian angel. Take comfort in knowing she is not far from you and you can be sure she will be looking after her boys forever. God bless you all and keep you in his Loving Care.
