'You think I’m gone and life has lost its will

But look around, I am right there, living with you still.

I watch your tears, I feel your pain - I see the things you do.

Each time you cry, my soul, it lives with you.

It gives such joy to hear you laugh and do the things you do.

When you smile over the by gone days, I smile right with you too.

For we're still one, just you and me, one mind, one soul, one being.

In the stillness of the night, when the pain really starts, stretch out a little with your mind and draw me to your heart.

For I am always right there, always by your side.

For you have been, all my life's days, my joy, my love, my pride.'

Deanna is survived by her life partner, Donald (Donnie) Woodford; their doggie, Brownie; son, Randy Hammann (Ashley & children Aiden and Sophia); son, Ryan Davis (grandson Rico); daughter, Miranda Braden (Tacoma & children Genesis, Dawson, Thomas, Raiden, great grandson Lucas); "mom" Delores Pederson (John & Robbie); friends, Anita/Jason Hawley and family, friends/family Angie Goss (Steve, Daniel, Elizabeth, Austin).

Preceded in death by son, Robert Hanson.

Celebration of life to be held for Deanna & Robert at a later date.

You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back, or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see her or you can be full of the love that you shared.
