I am gonna take a leap and say people think meaning first and then think of associated representation.This is a real question though, people think in language it's a system of thought first and communication second from what I understand.
Primarily though, most completely deaf people think in sign language. Similar to how an “inner voice” of a hearing person is experienced in one's own voice, a completely deaf person sees or, more aptly, feels themselves signing in their head as they “talk” in their heads.
