Dear Krieger Family –

We were saddened to hear that Deanne had to say her goodbyes.  Somehow it had seemed to us that Deanne had grown impervious to the missiles of destruction.  But, of course, we are all mortal. 

We regret that we were not able to come up from Saint George in time for the funeral because of the bad weather near Cedar City and Beaver. 

As you say, you have great hope for the future for each of us if we will stay faithful to what we know is right. 

We enjoyed the brief time that we knew Deanne.  She always had a quiet, relaxed smile, no matter the pressures.  We remember the time in early 2007 when you hosted us at your home in Accra.  Deanne was so helpful, especially showing Kathy some of the fun and interesting places in Accra, like the fabric dying shop.  And the journey to the Market opened our eyes to rural Ghana.  The boat trip along the Volta was relaxing and scenic. 

We wish you the very best as you learn to adjust for a season with a big hole in your hearts.  We’re sure that Deanne would want you to continue finding joy in your lives. 

All the best. 

 Dave and Kathy W.
