Jim and family,
I am so sorry too hear of Devra's fight (and loss) with cancer. She was a very dear friend and Delta/sister, at Northland, full of life and laughter. I could always count on her to lift my spirits and make me smile; (we were all blessed with her presence) she will remain in my heart of memories, forever. God Bless. Love you Devra.

I am so sorry that Devra lost her fight with pancreatic cancer. When I saw you last it was in remission. My thoughts are with you in your loss. A family is really lost when a the center of the household, your mother, wife, has passed but your world will just have to be different. She will always be missed. I will miss her too. Love to all of you!

I did not know Devra personally, all I know is she brought my mother happiness and a best friend and for that I am greatful, she must have been very special, I know my mother is going to miss you every day. All my best for your loved ones. Angels do not have to stay grounded. Spread your wings and watch over us all. God bless you Devra.

Dear Barnas family, I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Such a wonderful lady. Always seemed happy and full of laughter. I will never forget all the kids baseball games and really enjoyed our Thanksgivings together. I think God needed her for his bowling team. She will always be in your heart. God bless you all. Your friend, Mike Miller.
