My heart broke the day I heard about what happened to you Deanna. You were always kind and full of love and laughter. I’m going to miss those nights we’d stay up talking and laughing. I’m glad, I got to spend some time with you before the end. You were my friend and in this day in age a true friend is hard to find. This world will never be the same without you in it. Until we meet again, journey well my friend.

I do not know you or your family. I came across this article regarding the death of Deanna while looking at the Montana news on the internet. I want to send my heartfelt condolences to you and your family and Deanna’s children. This is so heartbreaking. We will be praying for you all as well as for answers as to why you have not received any answers to your questions regarding her death. Sincerely, yours, Willi McIntosh (Washington State)
