I want to say a prayer for Deete.
Dear Lord, Deete's friends and family gathered today to celebrate the life of Deete, who has now gone home to be with You. We thank You for the peace and redemption she found in You, and we pray that her legacy of knowing You
- God will inspire others to seek Your mercy and love.
For those who may not have known Deete, we pray that her story will be a testament to Your grace and forgiveness. May her example of knowing You encourage us all to make peace with You, "For You have mercy on whom You will have mercy." - Rom 9:15
Remind us, Lord, that tomorrow is not promised to anyone, and may we use the breath You have given us to seek Your face and follow Your will.
Comfort Deete's family and loved ones during this difficult time, and may they find strength in Your promise of eternal life.
In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
May God use my words to bring comfort, hope, and redemption to all who hear them.
I want to extend my condolences to each of you and especially Deete's family for your loss - May God's love and comfort surround you during this difficult time,
Linda (Brandon Chano)

Deete was as many have described as a 'firecracker.' She knew everyone and everyone knew her. If she saw someone in their yard or washing their car, she'd run over and check on them. She was always concerned about the welfare of others and often went out of her way to help people. I know she will be a welcome member of heaven's community and not one of the spirits whose soul she touches will ever forget her. Rest in peace, Deete and fear not for no one who has ever has the pleasure of meeting you will ever forget you.

Deete was small in stature but commanded any room she was in. She had her special seat on the couch growing up she called her "grave", and would always try to sneak to sit there cause it was the comfiest cushion. She helped raise me into who I am today, and I´ll forever be grateful for that. Rest in Pease Deete, fly high Freebird.

Deete.was my favorite niece and had visited my wife, Eva and I, with her husband, Mike. one time a few years back in Texas. After my wife Eva, passed away in October of 2023, Deete was the only one that called me, every week, multiple times per week, checking on me and inquiring about my love interests and giving me advice. No one but her called on a regular basis and I was grateful to speak with her every week. I miss her calls. I am Cary Shanks and I was married to Eva Mary Billiot for 46 years and 2 days of wonderful wedded bliss and unadulterated LOVE.

Rest Heavenly Maw-Maw. She Will Be Deeply Missed by all who Knew and Loved Her. Her passing leaves a void in our lives, but her Love and Memories Will Remain With Us Forever. My Grandmother had a love for animals especially feeding the squirrels and for her humor. No matter what she was going through or how hard thing got for her at times, she always made us smile or laugh in some way.
Thank You for the laughs and the memories we shared that I will remember forever. Until We Meet Again... I love you MawMaw
