With Heartfelt Love Glynis Williams And Sandra Lomax

Just wanted to reach out and let you know that you have my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. Deb you will truly be missed. My condolences to the family and friends.

I meet Deb 8 years ago at the Tax Office, and we became friends. Deb loved to sing, we became singing partners, she knew all the oldies but goodies, last time we spoke she said it's been 3 years since our last performance,(lol) because of the Pandemic. Later, I was visiting her Mommies' Church, she said look for the lady with the hat, indeed I did, when I saw her it was like we already met, she was dressed to impress, I told mommy, I see where Deb gets her style from, and we have been friends ever since, she would always say Mommy sends her love to you! That was very special to me. The last interaction we had, was on Wingsday (Wings Wednesday) as we call it at work, she said hey Sonya where are the wings, I said what kind do you want, "she said Habanera", I said Deb those are hots, she said "Sho you Right:!!! I will truly miss Deb, she was one of a kind! Rest in peace my friend. My Condolences goes out to the family through this difficult time! Sonya

Dear Deb we really never hung out but the few times we did it was memorable you will be missed I'm sorry I couldn't be there for your services but my thoughts n prayer will be with you may god take u under his wing n take u to his Kindom may u rest in peace Love Lisa

I'm gonna miss you Debra I'll never forget you and you'll always be in my heart thank you for being such a loving god mother to me- Alex

If I would have known That you wouldn't be here anymore I would have made the moments last a little longer 'Cause now I'm alone And you're just a memory in my mind I would have given anything to say goodbye If I would have known (ohh) If I would have known, oh

I love you DEB

To the Family of Deb, Deb and I worked together and were riding buddies. I will always remember her as my "Rough Rider". She gave us that name because she says that I had road rage (LOL). I think she had it worse than I did. Other fund memories were of her dancing and singing them oldies but goodies! I would say get it Deb and she would do her dance. It wasn't enough that Covid-19 kept us from interacting for almost 3 years and now she has taken her rest. I thank God that our paths crossed because she was full of wisdom. I'm really going to miss you my "Rough Rider". Sho you right - another one of her sayings.

I worked with Deb for a couple of years before I retired. She was always nice and pleasant a very up beat person. We always had great conversations. My condolences to the family.

My deepest sympathy and condolences to the family.

Deb will be missed. I only worked with her for a couple of years, but she made me remember my fun days in NY. She could always make my bad day really good. My condolences to the family and especially her mother who she spoke of often.

Deborah was my cousin that I unfortunately didn't meet until a few years ago when my father (her Uncle) passed in 2015. Since that time, she really became an integral part of me learning what having "family" really meant. We weren't just related, we were FAMILY. She was soooo down to earth, had such an infectious personality and wit and words can't convey how much she will be missed from not only my life, but the lives of all who were blessed to know her.

To my family, please know that I am praying for us ALL as we mourn this devastating loss.

Much love, Jennifer Fountain Tallahassee, FL.

I grew up with the Crawford family in the Bronx, New York. Throggs Neck project. Deborah was a few years older than I was. I hung out with her brother Kenneth, as we got older and went our separate ways. I went in the military. Didn't see Deborah and the rest of the family for years. When I did come home she was one of the first to welcome me back I never forget her laugh. I eventually moved out of NYC to N.C. and a few years later so did Deb. Once a year the state fair would come to town we would connect and have a ball.I could go on and on about Deborah but my fondest memory of Deb is she was very loving, caring person. My Sincerest Condolences to the Crawford Family. S.I.P Deb you will truly be missed. Philip (Peewee) Mills.

Deb will truly be missed, and my condolences to her family.

Deb you will truly be missed, and my sympathy goes out to your family and friends.

Deb and I worked together for 6 years. We sat across from one another and she would play the best oldie but goodie music and I would say get it Deb. She would sing and we would laugh and have a good time. It made the day go by. I will truly miss hearing her turn on her pandora station and her spirit. Deb you truly will be missed. Sending caring thoughts to the family.

God brought Deb into my family's lives as our Babysitter. My brother Mikey's favorite and it didn't take long for her to be the only big Sister I would ever know. I sent out a Sister post to her and she responded "Brownie, I love you so much, you are my 1st sister #facts". I wrote, I love you too, give Mom my love and she wrote back "I will" 10/13/2022 8:03am. Indeed, she was family. My children's Auntie and my daughter Tajae's Goddaughter. She was deeply adored by my Mother Milady Milogros Caban and played an intricate role in the woman I have become.Thank you for the life lessons you taught me, thank you for never, not once beating around the bush with me. Thank you for the tears we shed, the pain we shared and the belly laughs we had. Thank you for teaching me how to make prank calls, sing with broom sticks and listen to the best music. Thank you for loving me for who I was and being there from the little girl and througha the transitions that take place into womanhood and the maturing and growth that takes place thereafter. Thank you for never forgetting to be my big Sister no matter what season of your life you were in, you always had time to listen. To say you will be missed, is an understatement! To know you loved me and that you knew I loved you is a Blessing. Forever in our hearts there you will be, until we prayfully meet again. My genuine condolences to Ms. Parthenia, Junior, Kenneth, Family, extended Family, friends, and to those who crossed her path that she loved and that loved her back.

Deb and I worked together years ago and she was a dear friend. She fought her whole life for what was right and for the rights of others. I lost my husband last year and have been struggling and hearing she was as was struggling as well broke my heart. I cannot belive I will never hear her voice again. My love and prayers go out to all of her family. Deb please keep Bart company till we meet again. I can her you saying "Sho your right". My heart is so broken 💔.

I worked with Deb for 7 years. We have lived in the same complex for the pass few years. She was my neighbor and friend. We had many conversations and laughs just standing in the parking lot even days before her passing. Deb was extremely smart, strong, independent, resourceful,caring and resilient. She had a great sense of humor and a way with words. After getting to know Deb she became someone I truly admired and respected. I know she was a believer and I thank God for the time He allowed me to know her. I am sure she arrived to her next destination looking like the fly Queen that she is. I love Deb and I will truly miss you. My condelences to the family.❤

I was a former coworker and Deb and I connected on jewelry making, among other things. She had a memorable smile and a happpy, genuine personality. She will be missed. RIP my friend. Prayers and Blessings go out to the family for losing one of their stars so unexpectedly. Jacki Blades Palm Bay, FL

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
