I’m so very sorry for your loss. It’s comforting to know that we have a Heavenly Father who knows our inner-most struggles to come to terms with our loss. I recently lost a brother, a sister-in-law and most recently a best friend so I can sympathize with your pain. I found a comforting scripture at 2 Corithians 1:3-4 which speaks of Jehovah as the God of all comfort who comforts us in all of our trials. I hope this brings you the same comfort as it has me.

Missionary Deborah aka Aunt Debbie, was an exceptionally talented individual. I’ll never forget her beautiful voice or the finishing touches she added to my dresses as a child. I looked adorable. She was a beautiful woman full of class definition and talent and will be missed abundantly… The Kingdom of Heaven has another multi-talented Saint who made this world a better.
My condolences to everyone, especially her children , grandchildren, mother, siblings, aunts, uncles, friends and church family
