Donna Gail and family, Sending condolences and prayers to you and all the family. From Rachel Causby Morgan.
Rest in peace Deb. Praying for comfort, peace, and healing over all the family.
Deborah was a wonderful Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother. I know this because my Granddaughter Sarah married her Grandson Dylan. We shared a 10 month old Great Grandson Waylon. Dylan's little family unit shared a home with Deborah. I only knew Deborah for a short time and I could tell how much she loved her family members. I will make sure little Waylon knows how much Deborah loved them all.
Condolences to you and your family.
