To the Family,
My deepest sympathy, prayers and condolences are being extended to Deborah's family.
Deborah and I both attended both John J. Wright "JJW" and Spotsylvania High School.
Just a shock to hear of her sudden passing. I last saw her several years ago, she was very happy and smiling.
That's the way I want to remember her.
Family, may you find comfort in knowing that others share your grief and are praying for you.
Deepest smpathy and prayers,
Deacon Jose A. Brown and Family
