I have been coming into the work release center for more than one year on Fridays. During this time I have developed a wonderful relationship with Officer Devries. She was great with the inmates.....they all talked very highly of her. She will be greatly missed. Fridays will not be the same! My prayers go out ot all the family. May you be comforted in the Lord's presence during this time.
