Being a brother-in-law to Deanna has been a blessing. I never get waited on as I do when I am visiting them in Avondale.
I kid her on how special I am that she always had coffee ready to go for me in the morning (I wake up at 3:00 AM). You have to be careful what you think out loud, she will get it for you.
I will miss her always.
