It has been exactly 1 year since you passed away. The pain still feels like it was yesterday. I miss my best friend tremendously. I know you are in a much better place and you are no longer in any physical pain and that gives me peace. Every day is hard..I miss talking to you and listening to your wonderful straight forward advice. I miss your laugh. I look forward to the day I can see you and hug you again. I love you more than you will ever know.

We recently heard of the news of Deann's passing and can only begin to express the most sincerest of condolences . Though my wife and I only knew Deann through business dealings, we always felt as though she treated us as more than clients. Our prayers go out to Deann's entire family as this is a tremendous loss to all those who knew this kind woman.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Please let me know if there is anything, anything at all I can do to be of help and comfort to you. ~~Lou

Adrian and Cameron, 
May God be your comfort and strength during these days. You are in our daily prayers.

Adrian, Cameron, and family, My sincerest sympathies and prayers go out to you. Although I did not know Deann personally, her father-in-law spoke very highly of her and courageous battle. It may seem as if she lost her fight but look at the difference she has made in so many lives - God will continue to help you get through this most difficult time - you will never forget but you will go on - you are blest to have had her - Cameron, A mother's love is received in a number of ways - your mom will send her love from the heavens and you will never be alone - on the contrary you have a special angel looking out for you always. God bless you

To my loving friend. I have had the pleasure having you apart of my life for 15 years. Through high school, marriage, and children, you have been an inspiration though our journey together. You will be in my heart forever. 
Love you,

My deepest condolences go out to the family. I work at USAA and I am a friend of Mingo's. Mingo you and your family are in my heart and in my prayers. Adrian I have never met you but I am also a close friend to Norma Kresta. Deann is in a better place now and she will no longer be suffering, she is going to look down on her family and be the angel above to so many. Remember she will always be with the family and in your hearts forever. May God Bless you all.

Deann, I was so sorry to hear of your passing. Although we had not spoken recently, my father kept me updated on your ongoing battle. I thought of you often and I take comfort in knowing that you are no longer suffering. I will always remember you fondly. You, Monica and Carol are in most of my best childhood memories. It seems like only yesterday that we were 6 years old, running around at Grandpa's house on a Sunday afternoon waiting for Grandma to finish cooking. As I listened to your friends and family describe you today, you are exactly as I remember you. I will miss you. I pray that your husband and daughter will find peace and comfort. Uncle Mingo, Aunt Teresa, Monica and Carol, my thoughts are will all of you. Please let me know if you need anything.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of loss.

I offer my sympathy to the family. Deann was a former coworker of mine at USAA. I keep a old photo of her and I and her friends as a momento. I am also battling cancer at 37 years of age. -David Garza

We remember first meeting DeAnn in High School and appreciated being able to continue that friendship after high school. She was a beautiful person and a joy to be around. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My memory of Deann here at the former Home Loan Sales area was her sweetness and professional way of handling her job. I just learned that she is Mingo's daughter and as a parent myself, my heart hurts and goes out to him and Deann's Mom. I keep Cameron on my mind and prayers.

Teresa & family, I am very sorry about Deann. You're in my prayers and I know God will give you the strength that you need during this difficult time. God bless. Alice

To Adrian and your family, Please accept our deepest condolences for your loss, from my wife and I. If there is anything you made need that we can help you with, please don't hesitate to ask. We will pray for you and your family. God bless you.

AD, We write this with heavy hearts and many prayers for you and your family.

I will always remember Deann as a kind and wonderful friend with a bright smile who could always make me laugh. I was fortunate enough to meet her at work, and saw her spirit touch many people. When she would be away from work undergoing treatment, I would receive many calls from her past customers asking about her and sending their best wishes. She will be greatly missed not only by those who knew her well, but also by those who may have only known her briefly.

I never was able to meet Deann, but kept up on her battles against cancer via Sonya, a dear friend with whom I work at Cardwell School in Del Rio. My deepest sympathy to Adrian and Cameron. I know that Sonia and Lupe will continue to be very important in your lives.

Deann Sotelo was a true friend to me and a sister in Christ. I will miss her laughter, her smile and her since of style. I loved speaking with her. Hearing her stories about her love for her husband and daughter. I think she is one of the strongest people I have ever known. I celebrate her never feeling pain again and will always remeber her courage. I love and miss you Deann... May you be an angel always watching over us. With love your friend Sonnette Lewis

GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTER. YOU ALL WILL WE IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS

Adrian, Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

To the Pedroza-Sotelo famlies our prayers and love.

She always made me laugh and I will miss her.

I met Deann about 6 years ago, she closed a loan for a client, she was so nice, she gave me a restauarnt voucher, I sent her all my clients thereafter, in time she told me about the cancer, and every once in a while she would take leaves of absence so it has been a while since I talked her. I was so sad to open the paper and see her smiling face in a section of the paper she should not be in. Even though I just knew her for a short time, I will never forget her, God Bless her and her family. Sincerely, David Romo

My heart goes out to you Adrian and your daughter Cameron. You both are in my thoughts and prayers.

I remember meeting Deann in 10th grade. From that point on she was always a good supportive friend that I will always remember. God Bless her and her family.

There are no words to tell you how truly sorry we are to hear about Deann. We remember how bubbly, beautiful and warm she was to us. Its truly painful to realize that she is gone from us and how the family must feel. Please know that she will always be in our prayers as well as all her family. My prayer is that God gives each and everyone of you the strength to get through this. I will always remember Deann as a wonderful and caring person. Bob and Lynn

Monica and family you are in my thoughts and prayers and my the lord see you through this hard time. Deann is in a better place looking down at all of you. I will continue to keep you all in my prayers. 
Love, 
Crystal and Bobby Saldana

I'm so glad I had the opportunity to get to know Deann when I shared an apartment with her and Monica after high school. I have such great memories of what a beautiful, kind, fun person she was. May she rest in eternal peace.

She was one of the most kind, loving, gentle souls to grace this earth

To a young lady who opened our eyes to a horrible disease. She was a fighter who taught us how to be strong when faced with the toughest challenges life could give.

Teresa and Domingo: Our sincere condolences on the loss of Deann. You and your families are in our thoughts and prayers. All our Best, Yvonne & Gerardo DeLaRosa

I will forever remember her goofy ways during our time on Starlites and the years that followed after high school. Cameron will be blessed by her aunts that can be a wonderful reminder of the way Deann was...
