Ann Marie (Coln) Travaglini says
I was going through some old letters and found a beautiful Christmas card and letter that Deanne had written to me. It was probably 20 years old. We had never met, but she was my father’s ( John C. Coln) sister. I googled her name because I was going to try to get in touch with her and to my sorrow found that she had passed. I am so sorry for your loss. The letter she had written, really touched me and showed what a kind and loving person she must have been. I am sad for myself also, for a missed opportunity to get to know my Aunt. She and your family will be in my prayers.
With Love,
Ann
