To Florine, Sandy, Lisa,

God wants us to lift each other in prayer.
In his Word this is so clear.
So I always pray for you.
I think of you with fondness and love

As we are, all of us, God’s children.
His Love and our prayers will meet all of your needs -- even now . . .


What else can I say, Deborah's beautiful face and spirit spoke for themselves. She was truly one of God's angels here on earth. God just called her back to Him. We will miss her.
