So sorry for your loss. Deidre was dear to our family and our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time.
Our Deidre Gaile…What a Beautiful Lady, with a Heart full of Love & Compassion for her Family and Friends.
Miles between us meant “Visiting” by phone. We solved the world’s problems..
But mostly we Laughed! You may know, Deidre had just enough “Wit” to brighten any day! Those “Talks & Laughter” I will Forever Cherish.
Mike..My Pal… You are an “Exceptional Gentleman !” And “You Were The Love Of Deidre’s Life!”
Deidre is in good company….Her Maternal line is Mary Gaynelle Wilkes, Mary Irene Finley, Allie Engene Wood, Mary Frances Elizabeth Whaley, Naomi Haseltine Langford and the last surname known by me was Carruth. A very strong line of women.
Uncle Charles and Aunt Kay
Since our earliest days working together in Lawton, Oklahoma in 1976, across at least 8 states – we vacationed together and raised kids and talked for hours by phone. It was always so easy to pick up the threads of conversation- even if the gap was a year! Her wit and wisdom carried me through my hardest times. Mike was such a huge blessing to her, what a marriage- so deserved. I miss your huge heart ❤️ my friend.
Deidre and I were friends since high school, sharing the same birthday. I have the sweetest and funniest memories of her, including her wedding day to you, Mike. My heart breaks for your loss. My thoughts and prayers for you, Mathew, Brooke, Jamie and Chuck, John and Tonia. She will brighten Heaven with her laughter.
