My heart still yearns for my sister and friend Deanna. Last week I dreamed of her. We were talking laughing and exchanging ideas and concepts of the Kingdom of God. Everytime I pass Copeland's ,our regular lunch place, I want to meet her there. I long for her in the spirit and wish I could have spoken to her before she went home. My children and I are eternally grateful for the rich impact she ahd on our lives. I miss her dearly and look forward to meeting her again....soon.

Pastor Haugabrooks...our number is the same..if you need help...JUST CALL... Keith Christian and Johnny are available for you.

To My Best Friend: I will miss you so much. Thinking back 22 years when we met how we were so young and full of life. You were such an intelligent, outgoing person which drew me to you. Our personalities were alike in so many ways. Though we started off in the world’s ways, I am so happy God saw better for the both of us. Just to see how step-by-step and day-by-day we changed our ways to become true women of God. I always admired your business savvy to do 10 things at one time. You were the best in corporate America as well as in ministry. I remember how we talked about starting a ministry to help kids. I was so proud of you when you started Kids on Line. God gave you that vision over 20 years ago. You took that vision and ran with it helping thousands of kids and adults along the way. I thank you for the impartation into my children’s lives. That foundation will always be there. Only God knows why He took you at such a young age. For that, heaven is a better place. I will truly miss your smile, our talks, eating chicken wings, you squeezing my hands so tight and just plain ole fellowship. You will never be forgotten. I will not say goodbye because I know we will meet again. Love you so much. BFF – LAD.

Pastor Haugabrooks was a phenomenal woman! She and I go back over 20 yrs. Over these years she has accomplished so much, personally and professionally. She is a true example that with GOD in your life anything and everything is possible! I remember when she first started Kids Online Ministries, my eldest daughter Lakia was one of her first students. She told me that this is what GOD wanted her to do. To see what she has done with this ministry is awesome! She has helped so many children and their families overcome obstacles, when they felt that they had no one to turn to. She gave them hope and has put a many of smiles on the childrens' faces on Christmas morning. I know, because my niece Jada was one of those children. She would always pray with you to let you know that everything is going to be alright. I know that GOD took her home because he felt that her work was done here on earth. She's passing the torch to others to keep her ministry/vision going. I think that we all should come together to keep this going. I know that this is what she would want us to do. If she could get it off the ground and running by herself (with the help of GOD) imagine what we can do together! This is what we need in our society for our children, especially our black youths. She was and is an inspiration to me. I'll keep in touch to help with this ministry. I'm truly going to miss her. May GOD bless her family in this difficult time.

I am still at a loss for words....you truly were like my other mother and meant the heavens to me. You gave me my first opportunity on TV and Radio and were the first to sow faithfully into Barren Breaking Ministries. Your legacy will live on through this ministry because you provided first fruits that will forever make a lasting impression upon the nations! I am thankful to God for the time He gave us with one another. Although my heart is saddened, my Spirit rejoices with knowing that you made an eternal impact on many lives and all will tell the story of how you changed lives for the glory of God!!! I will not be at the service, my grandmother passed and we will be having her celebration on the same day. However, I will be at the viewing as mentioned. Bro. Haugabrooks, I am glad I had time to speak with you and you are forever in our prayers. IF YOU NEED ME FOR ANYTHING PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL! With all of my love, support and prayers,

I thank God for allowing Pastor Haugabrooks to cross my path. She was truly a blessing to my family. She always had an encouraging word when it was needed. I will never forget Kids On-line Ministry,through her ministry she made marks that can not be erased and for that, I am forever greatful. To the family she loved you all and you will all be in our prayers. To all the children she touched never forget the things she taught you. Thank you to the family for sharing the woman of God with all of your extended family.

Mrs. Haugabrooks was an awesome woman with a glowing spirit!
She would come to my job to eat-and she would light up the atmosphere with her smiles and open heart.
Once, she saw the need to help a young lady with her daughter-she took out the time to give.
The time that God allowed her to spread her loving spirit among those who knew her-will continue.
To her family-she is only gone physically, and God will give you the strength to endure and Mrs. Haugabrooks would want you to.
May love and peace continue to be with you.

Our hearts were saddened upon hearing of the passing of our dear Sis. Deanna. We were blessed to have experienced this wonderful gift to the body of Christ. She was an inspiration to all of us at Good Shepherd. She moved us to put faith and ministry into action. We pray for the continued legacy of this great woman of God.

May you the family find comfort in knowing, "to be absent from the body, is to present with the Lord! " She rests from her labor,and now rejoices in her reward.

May God bless and keep you all during this time of celebration.

A great woman of God that imparted inspiration in soo many lives WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. Kids on Line made a spiritual difference in my daughter's life under the leadership of Sis. Haugabrooks. I thank God for allowing us to be a apart of her life and ministry. We will miss her loving smile and giving heart. Heaven is rejoicing right about now. Soo many lives were touched and changed by Sis. Deanna. To the family, I say thanks for sharing her with us. I pray that God will be your comforter at this time and strengthen you second by second. You must continue to carry Mantle that she has left before you. God was just ready for her many talents. May the Peace of God continue to be with you. THE GRAHAM family.
