My deepest condolences to Charles (Crystal), Chris and family. Dea was a wonderful person. I worked with her in Bandera and we have stayed in touch over the years. She was always so thoughtful and compassionate. She loved her boys and her motorcycle. She showered my grandsons with love and attention. Just recently sending them maps with details of rides she had taken. She will be greatly missed by all.
It was such a pleasure to get reacquainted with Deanna and to introduce her to my husband. She was such a sweet and caring person. She will be missed by family and friends.
Thinking of you all and holding all her knew and loved her in my heart. Sending light and love.
Thank you for the laughter and joy that always came with every discussion. Thank you for your love and care when days were darkest. Thank you for your sons who have been life long friends. Thank you for the greatest gift of all, sharing precious moments with you. Miss you Dea.
Always thinking about you Mr Newman, hoping you all find some peace and comfort soon.
