Greg & family members,
So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts & prayers are with you
during this difficult time.
Even in knowing that God doesn’t make any mistakes, my heart is filled with joy and sadness with the transitioning of (my) our beloved “Lil Deb”. I really don’t remember Deb growing up cause she was much younger and didn’t come to many family reunions but when we did meet, her beautiful spirit and smile filled the room. From that point on we kept in contact. She loved the Lord, her family and people and dedicated a portion of her life to motivating and encouraging women. God bless you family and remember, that some glad morning when this life is over, we to can fly away and be with the Lord, but we must make that decision today. Love always
Sis Debbie was one of a kind and she will truly be missed. Sending thoughts of love, peace and strength to the family.
Greg, Kaleb, Isaiah & family,
I am very sorry for your loss. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Take care.
I’m so sorry for your loss. This was such a shock to me. I can only imagine how you all are feeling. Debbie and I had some great conversations. We thought alike in many ways. We would easily be on the phone for hours at a time. I’m sad I won’t get to bounce ideas off her or just hang out. She was truly a blessing. You are in my prayers.
