December 8,1954-July 17,1994 Deanna was a mother, daughter, sister, Aunt, wife, good friend, and a very loving and caring person. Since Deanna was taken from us she has become a Grandma and a Great Aunt. She is our Angel watching over all of us. Deanna absolutely adored children and taking care of other people. Deanna worked for a few different nursing homes from the time she was 20 until the day she died. She was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 25. This disease did not stop Deanna from still doing what she loved doing. As the years went by the pain in her body became worse. There were some days her hands would be crippled up and she wasn't able to even brush her own hair. A few months before her death she had finally found a treatment that helped substantially with the pain On July 13, 1994 she had received this treatment. When getting this treatment her blood pressure would rise. On July 15, 1994 she was outside mowing the lawn. A migraine headache had developed, so she went into the house to lie down. She was babysitting for a baby at the time and when the baby's mother arrived to pick him up she found Deanna unconscience. Deanna had an aneurysm. She was rushed to the hospital but by the time she arrived Deanna was already brain dead. My brother allowed the doctors to put her on life support with the hopes that maybe something else could be done. I received the phone call at 6:30 pm that evening I live in Alabama and the rest of my family lives in Wisconsin. At the time of the phone call they knew then there was no hope for Deanna, but my mother chose to keep Deanna on life support until I could get there. That evening was the longest day of my life. I arrived at the hospital and walked into Deanna's room. I didn't wanna believe she was never going to wake up. Watching her daughters plead with her to wake up ripped my heart out of me. The doctors had thought Deanna would just peacefully go on her own. On Sunday all Deanna's organs had shut down except for her heart, so the decision was made to turn off the life support. This was the hardest thing I have ever witnessed in my life. But everyone wanted to be there so Deanna wouldn't be alone when she left us. I know Deanna is happy and no longer in pain. And what helps me deal with her being gone is knowing that she isn't in pain anymore and she's watching over us. An Angel's Kiss
We go through life so often,
not stopping to enjoy the day. And we take each one for granted,
As we travel on our way.
For in your pain and sorrow,
An Angel's Kiss will help you through, This kiss is very private, For it is meant for
only you.
We never stop to measure, Anything we just might miss. But if the wind should blow
by softly, You'll feel an
Angel's Kiss.
A kiss that is sent from
heaven, A kiss from up above.
A kiss that is very special,
From someone that you love.
So when, your hearts are heavy, And filled with tears and pain, And no one can console you, Remember once again...
About the ones you grieve for, Because you sadly miss. And the gentle breeze you took for granted, Was just an Angel's Kiss.
~By: Peggy Bouse~ Christmas is always the hardest time of the year for our family. It was the one time of the year that our whole family was always able to get together. Christmas just hasn't been the same since Deanna left to spend her time with God. I believe God was anxious to take Deanna with him. Twice before Deanna was taken from us, she almost met her fate. At the tender age of 6 Deanna was struck down by a car. She was in critical condition and in a coma for 23 days By a miracle God let Deanna stay with us. Then at the age of 16, Deanna almost drowned. I still think about it to this day and remember the lady who saved Deanna. This lady had just got done yelling at us for splashing water. She had just gotten her hair styled and we were getting her wet. When she saw that Deanna was drowning though, she didn't hesitate for a second to jump into the pool and save Deanna. God spared Deanna for us once again. The memories of Deanna are nonstop and I thank God that memories are available for us to have. Christmas In Heaven Tis Christmas in Heaven What a beautiful site It's wonderful here Everything is alright The crib is adorned With the brillance of stars Wisemen have come from Venus and Mars I've met all our dear ones Who preceded us here The reunion was lovely an event full of cheer And tonight we'll all gather In reverence we'll kneel For the babe in the cradle Up in heaven is real I think of my family That I left behind I pray that your Christmas Is as blessed as mine Please shed no more tears For my soul is at rest Just love one another Live life to it's best Yes it's Christmas in Heaven So I've heard them say Yet Christmas in Heaven Happens everyday ~Author Unknown~
