Dearest Friends,
This is Deanna's son Brandon reaching out to you with the deepest sadness. My beloved Mother, the lovely and talented Deanna, has lost her battle with Breast Cancer, and past peacefully on January 17th at the Mayo Clinic. To the end she was the bravest and strongest woman I have ever known. As she past she was surrounded by friends and family who all loved her dearly as I know that all of you here do. I wish I could be bringing better news. My Mother always treasured sharing her life in this journal and with amazing people, and always spoke highly of all the wonderful stories she read here. For anyone local, there will be a Gathering Service at Quinn Shalz located at 3600 Third Street South this Tuesday January 22nd from 6p to 8p, and my family asks that for anyone who is interested, in place of flowers you can make a donation to 26.2 with Donna, which is a local charity that does Breast Cancer Research. Again I am terribly sorry that I can not be bringing better news.
Deepest Sympathy,
Brandon
