My condolences to Deborah’s Family. I worked with her at Grossman’s. I saw her picture in the newspaper and knew it was that crazy girl I used to work with, she made working there so much fun. She was beautiful inside and out. Nellie my heart goes out to you. Debbie and I both enjoyed working with our Mom’s there. I know she’s in Heaven with my Mom, Pauline Crosby who moved on to the house of our Lord August 18, 1999, and my Daughter whom I gave birth to while working at Grossman’s. Jesika Renee Smith. Rest In Heaven You Beautiful Angel
RIP to a true GEM. May that peace that surpasses all understanding give comfort during this trying time.
To the family; my prayers for you are that you find comfort in the knowledge that to be absent in the present is to be present with the LORD. What a gift to be IN HIS PRESENCE.
