DeAnna, I’m so sorry for your loss. She will be missed by many. Dirk loved his Nana Eve. She was a sweet lady. I will miss her too. Your whole family is in my prayers. I love you. Patsy

My dear dear friend. Met you back in 1964 and we have been friends forever. I was in your wedding to Mike and been there with you with the birth of your children . we shared our troubled times and lifted each other thru our divorces. I loved to hear you sing with your sisters, what such lovely voices. I still have the video you made me. You are the reason that I accepted the Lord Jesus christ in my life and I will never ever forget that day. I am so heart broken not to have the opportunity to talk to you before your trip to Heaven . But I have such relief knowning that one day I will have that chance to see you in that GOLDEN City. DeAnna, Shawn, Brandon my heart and prayers are with you this day, I know how close you were to your mother and how she loved you and those grand-children deeply. Goodbye my dear dear friend for now, what a deep deep void I will have, but until then I know you will watch over me. My heart is so full of love for you.
