Words are not adequate to express my sorry and sadness. I truly loved seeing and interacting with Deborah at Smith River or wherever we met. Her lovely smile and kind words of encouragement will be truly missed. I'm continually lifting the family up in prayer. With the help of the Lord we will make it through this. We know that to be absent from the body is to present with the Lord. Deborah knew the Lord and is now in His presence. Love you family.
Words can't express my true feelings right now. Deborah was so special, that smile that little laugh, I loved interacting with her. Continually lifting all the family up in prayer. God will see you through family, just trust him 🙏🏾
I will never forget this wonderful Lady , I met her at Bassett Library ( Story Time ) she always had a big smile on her face . My Grand Daughter loved her 2 Grand Daughters they would set together do crafts together we became so close . What an amazing Lady , keeping the family in my prayers . May the Lord comfort you during this time I can only imagine how beautiful Heaven must be with this wonderful Lady there walking on the streets of gold . ❤️
I met this wonderful Lady at Bassett Library where we would take our Grand babies to story time . She would always have that beautiful smile on her face and saying hello how are you .. My Grand Daughter was so close to her Grand Daughters that every time they would see each other they would just run and hug and just laugh was so happy to see each other . We would bring sandwiches and other snacks for the kids to eat while they played on the play ground . Story time will not be the same with out you sweet Deborah but I know you are rejoicing up in Heaven and having a wonderful time , so I won't say good bye just to say see you soon . Praying for her wonderful family may the good Lord comfort you during this home going of your sweet loved one . I will never forget you Deborah D. Robinson ❤️
