Afterglow
I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one
I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when day is gone
I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways
Of happy times, and laughing times, and bright sunny days
I'd like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun
Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.

Friends of Deanna share the following memories .....
|
|
|
"I first met Deanna in 1991, on the phone, then in person in 1992.
A warm , friendly smile always present, her sense of humor, willingness
to help and ability to see the good in all. Two words come to mind when
thinking of her...CLASS & INTEGRITY. Deanna was ToyFest for many of us!
We are all better people for having been privileged to have crossed her
path."

"I wasn't as fortunate as those who were able to get to know Deanna
personally, however, I was very fortunate to at least have had the
opportunity to meet her on my first visit to ToyFest and the museum a
few years ago. It was such a busy time for all those involved, yet she
took the time to show me the Little People Display boards that Brad Cassity
had been helping with and she told me where to find other things in the
museum that I asked about. I know she was a very special part of Brad's
life as he's mentioned her often and I felt privileged to get to know her
a little through him. I know she took tremendous pride in her work at the
museum and she was very much involved in making ToyFest what it was then."

"I can't really remember the first time I met Deanna. it just seems
she has been there as long as I have had the FP bug. Always smiling,
ready to laugh, willing to pitch in, willing to go the extra mile.
Deanna was the epitome of Fisher-Price and its creed in my opinion.
The FP world is an emptier place with her loss."

|
"I don't have a favorite story about Deanna, just the memory of an
outgoing, friendly, and always smiling lady, who would always take a few
minutes of her busy time and just sit and chat in her office at the Museum.
I do remember the Fisher-Price dinner when she and husband Walter
recounted stories of the early years of the Museum and the ToyFest Festival."

"My first encounter with Deanna was in 1992. I found her to be a kind,
caring, and loving person who saw a purpose and reason in life. She showed
me that even when things were going badly, there was still enough of a
reason in one's life to be happy and thankful. She showed this to others
by smiling and caring about what was important to them. She would ALWAYS
have time for one who was in need no matter how great or small it was and
do her best to help them out. Without her I would not have the things in
my life that I have or my book. Thank you Dee! I will ALWAYS have a piece
of you with me to give to others as you so graciously taught me."
