For the family of Talena L. Deal, our deepest sympathies for her father, husband, children, and her siblings. I am a friend of her sister, Diamond. Losing a younger sister or any family member is tragic. God had other plans for Talena that only He could share with her. Another angel received her wings. Another Soldier in God's Army. Ride On Talena, Ride On. RIP 💔🙏🏽

I have come to learn that in life when you meet good people that you hold on to them tightly. That you love them immensely and give your flowers while they are alive because Beautiful energy is a blessing. This is exactly what my Sistar was to me and countless others. I thank God for the BPC and the day our paths crossed. Your smile, those dimples and your light when you entered a room. It's so hard to believe that you are no longer here in here in the physical but I understand that now you live forever. My heart smiles because your presence made my life so much more Beautiful. I will treasure our conversations, the times we hung out and for you always blessing me with veggies from your garden! I will not say goodbye but rather see you again. Heaven has been blessed with a light, a joy and a woman filled with love. My condolences to Edward, your beautiful daughters and your entire family. Your BPC family loves you!! We will all cherish you and all of the amazing memories we created! I love you sis! Share your poetry in heaven! Your Sistar Always!! I'll never forget your smile, your beautiful heart and those dimples!! Felicitee Love

To the Deal Family! In the Bible, death is aptly described as "the last enemy." (1 Corinthians 15:26) It breaks into our lives with irresistible force, often when we are completely unprepared, and it robs us of those we hold dear. Jesus left us with a promise found in John 5:28,29. Please read these versus and may they provide you comfort and encouragement. ~~~Taren Butler

"The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away". "There is a time for everything and a season for every matter under the sun". I am blessed to have met my wind sister before her work here on earth was complete. She is a beautiful soul and may she rest peacefully until that great day. I'm sad that I won't get the opportunity to reap the fruit of her labor... we never got to meet up so she could bring me my cabbage😁. We, SSA, will miss your physical presence but we know we can't drive any faster than our new angel and fly. Peace and Blessings to all of your loved ones Tip❤️ #Headliner

Lena, You made an impression on me from the 1st day you entered the doors of the school we worked at together. I was overly impressed on how such a small woman could impact so many young men with her wisdom regarding HVAC. We shared some good times at the school and then to meet up with you again with SSA was a joy! You WILL be missed tremendously and we know that you are our guardian Angel. 3Wheels Down2WingsUp...... Respectfully, Ticy "T.I." Moore

Don't be surprised if you grieve more for a friend than you did for a recently deceased relative. The old saying, 'You pick your friends, relatives are thrust upon you,' holds true here. Friends are special people in our eyes because we hold them to be. Friends fill time in our lives that will be vacant when they die. Rest Easy my wind sister. Going to miss your beautiful smile and love for the group. Spyder Squad Atl forever Tippi Toez ride your ride.
