My heart and my prayers are with you as we all feel the loss of Deane. We Christians know that this world is not our true home; she is in Paradise with Jesus and all of our relatives.
I will miss Deane's lovely countenance and grace but I take comfort in knowing I/we will be with her again one day.
Sincerely,

I was so, so sorry to see Aunt Deane's obituary in today's paper. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all. My dad said to be sure to let you know he's thinking of you, too. I know I won't make it to the visitation tonight due to the weather, but if a all possible, I'll come to the service tomorrow. Please make note of my email address, as I'd love to be able to be in contact with you.
