God-Sisters

December 13, 2013

                Have you ever just met someone & feel like you've known them all your life?   Even though you're in a class to convert to Catholism with your double-x, alcoholic husband who was just told that pre-marital sex is a sin....even though the lady sitting across from you just pulled a puppy out of her purse....even though that same lady tells you 2 wks later that she's  getting married....to the fellow standing behind her with a twinkle in his eye?  This was how our friendship began....                                                           It helped that neither one of us knew a rosary from a rhinestone & were the only gals in the class that needed to attend every week to prepare for our future as  full -fledged Catholics .  We even had the same GodParents(Bless you John & Mimi),  who , despite our antics,  managed to pull a couple of  60-something GodChildren thru, & that magical Easter weekend finally arrived.                                                                                                                                                                                                        I was the first one to be Baptized. After getting hit with a gallon of cold water, I came up dazed & sputtering...flinging my wet hair all over Mimi...who was  trying desperately to cover my soaked, silk -covered busoms...only to look up & see Dee grinning from ear to ear!  Then Dee took the plunge, ( & I told her not to wear all that mascara) & the image of a crazed racoon with a wet squirrel on it's head came to mind!   Giggle!!  A few wks later, as we were conversing on our favorite church steps, Dee told me what a nice time they had on the boat with Father Jim...& winking her eye said" Now we're even!"  Giggle!!

            I can honestly say that I've never been the same since meeting that warm,wonderful, funny lady. She has imprinted on my heart & soul like no other &  I was so looking forward to an AZ reunion. But I know what she would say..."Only the time & destination have been changed."   So put in a good word for me & save me a place Dear GodSister,   & I'll see you soon.               In Christ's  Love,   Kassie

















      

Pappy

December 8, 2013

Pappy loved Deanne with all his heart and soul.  They are a grand couple who made a large impact on many lives.  My heart grieves for his sudden loss; However, his faith makes him strong and will help him along until he meets Deanne once again.  Love  you Pappy.

Best friends

Deanne is pictured here with her longest and dearest friend Darlena.  The two gals shared much in lifes wonders and sorrows.  My heartfelt condolances to Darlena for her loss of Deanne, her dearest friend.

Family Reunions

December 8, 2013

As the matriarch of the family, Deanne kept the family close by hosting family reunions so we would not drift apart.  Her sense of family and honor ran deep in her heart.  The first family reunion I attended was wonderful; thought and effort was put into every aspect of the weekend. Family was very important to Deanne and I wish with all my heart we will remember this and strive to maintain our love and friendship towards each other. 

Grammy's Naughty Bingo

December 7, 2013

For the last three years Deanne has put on a naughty bingo for all her friends.  Each year she painstakenly attended to every detail to ensure everyone's comfort.  Deanne's elegant sense style always brought out the best in people, making them feel welcome from the bottom of her heart. I can  truthfully say my aunt has taught me so much about love, care, and humor.  I will never forget the bingos and I hope we can carry on her tradition.
