Dear DeFord Family,
I was blessed to meet the wonderful DeFord Family at Gabriel Richard High School. What a beautifully loving family. They were always so very kind to me and I think of them fondly. Prayers to everyone on the loss of their husband, father, Grandfather and a DEAR friend to many.

I remember my grandmother, Amanda Jedele, speaking very fondly of Mr. DeFord when she worked for him at the Meuhlig's store. One of the greatest endorsements, I believe, for an employer is to have one's employees feel like they are valued and appreciated. He did just that! My deepest sympathies to the family regarding this enormous loss, and may you experience the comfort and peace that only our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, can bring.
