My Dearest Deeb Family:

You knew what a treasure your Tata was and warmly and generously held him while you could, learning from him, loving him, blessing him before he departed. Observing your love story unfold, Steve and I, too, were blessed and inspired. We know your souls will continue to gaze upon Tata's face as he smiles back at you from within everything you continue to brighten by your glowing beauty and kindness--and from within every heart that loves you.

We join you in celebrating the gifts Tata brought to this earth.

Love, Jo Ann and Steve
