Deanna was just awesome!  So beautiful and caring and everybody loved her! (Down Riker) She was an Empath with some telepathic abilities and was often seen to be assisting Picard with life or death decisions.  Add that to her love of chocolate and how could you not love her! She loved her little figure when we gave it to her and instantly grabbed her mini me and began to play fight with Michael Dorn's mini me of Worf!  If only we could have caught that on camera!
