To Detra's family,
I am in shock of her passing! She was such a wonderful lady who cared and loved her mother. She devoted a great deal of time making sure her mother was cared for. There isn't many children who can say that they would sacrifice as much as Detra did. I worked with Detra for 4 1/2 years at K-Mart. She was so happy with her Hodge (Lisa), and Roger (Yeatts). Ms. Detra will be greatly missed! May God bless everyone during this time of loss!

Dear Price Family,
I was so sorry and shocked to hear about Detra. I've known her since we were both in the 8th grade. She was always such a bubbly and happy person. And she made such beautiful things. I always looked forward to seeing her booth at all the craft fairs. My condolences to all of you. I'll keep you in my prayers.

H, Charlene, and Mrs.Price: I am so sorry for your loss. I loved Detra to no end. She worked with me and for me at Lowes. She made many beautiful sewing things for my home and when I see them, I will be thinking of her. Her death is a real loss. Her personality and her bubbly smile was contagious. I can see her standing behind the counter (barely looking over I may add) at Lowes and saying "Brucey" to me over and over. I will always miss her.... My God be with you as we all mourn our loss of friend, sister, and daughter. Bruce

To the family of Detra Price
It just seems like yesterday Detra was at Lowe's laughing and sharing her wonderful personality as she helped me, as she always has through the years. I've known Detra since the factory days and have in my home some of her beautiful craft work. Detra's beauty was in her heart and smile. I would like for the family to know I appreciated Detra's friendship and may the Love of Jesus Christ bless the family through this sad time. God Bless, Pee Wee and Diane Browning
