Many prayers to Deb’s family … I always smile when remembering Deb with her bubbling personality and love of life. Rest in peace my friend.
I am so very sorry for loss during this difficult time. May you find comfort in your loving memories of her and God’s promise at John 5:28,29 which assures us that we have the hope of seeing our love ones again.
Lee. Lynne and Mary – Bill and I send our most heartfelt, sincerest sympathy for the loss of your beautiful, dear, Deb. We can’t imagine the pain you have had, losing one of your sisters. She was very special to us, also. I sent condolences and hugs to Frank and his family, and thought I did here, but I don’t see them. I’d hate to think you felt we ignored your pain. Hugs to you all, even belatedly… again, so sorry. San
