While still in Quartzsite, we received a call from Deane's daughter D'enne with some tragic news that brought us back to Portland the following day.
Deane's youngest daughter Tammy, suffered a severe asthma attack in the early morning hours of January 23rd, and passed away.
We spent the week with D'enne and her family along with Tammy's husband Ray Rogerson and their friends recalling stories about Tammy and her many experiences throughout her short life.
Tammy was loved by many and will be missed. Deane and D'enne thank everyone for their love, concern and prayers sent our way.
