"Thank you so much for playing at my daughter's wedding. Your music and voice was beautiful. I loved the harp. It is so romantic! Blessings to you!" — W.M.
"Your music continues to be heard in our hearts. Several people stopped to say how much they appreciated the beauty of your playing, your poise, and your gentle, wholesome spirit. You may have noticed how quiet we all were, and this group likes to talk. You touched our spirits and left a [peace] in our souls. The harp is an exquisite instrument; you play it with perfection, ease and joy." — S.C.

"Deanna's . . . CD's have been a real blessing and encouragement for me to listen to!" . . . "I often like to listen to [her] CD's if I have had a long or tiring day as they are very encouraging and relaxing for me to listen to.
