Add A Condolence

To the family of my dearest co-worker (GCS/NSH) Demetria. This one hit hard as she was always a listening ear, a friend of 9 yrs. I miss our short talks as we would stop at each other's desk. Thank you for reaching out to me when we were no longer working in office. I will miss you dearly. Nilsa Santa

Demetria ( MeeMee) we all called you😪Can't believe you're not here : your smile ; your laugh so much like your Mom❤️🌹you will forever be in my heart. Your Cousin Margaret & Amber, Nitra ; Antonio Jr.

To the family of Demetria, on behalf of her Sisters of Emerald Chapter #122 Order of Eastern Star, we extend our deepest condolences.

To the family and loved ones, you have my deepest condolences. wishing you God's perfect peace during this time of grief. I had the pleasure of working with Demetria for 9 plus years, she was a beautiful person. She will truly be missed. -Ivonne GCS/Northside.

Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sorrowful time. I worked with Dee for 8 years at GCS, she was great worker and friend, she will be missed by everyone there. Northside/GCS Alex.

To the Family: I hired Demetria to be our first precert staff member at Georgia Oncology Associates 25 years ago. She was working at Rockdale Hospital at the time and needed a change. Her enthusiasm and skills helped mold the department. She helped me create the job description and policies/procedures while helping our patients navigate the early days of managed care. Demetria was respected by her peers and management for being ready to assist as needed. We prayed for her recovery, but it was not in God's plan. My heart grieves, as she is gone too soon and so young. Heaven gained an angel. Terri Loew.

My Deepest Condolences To The Family. May The Hand of The Lord rest gently upon you and soon bring to you his Promised Peace. To The Family, I am so Sorry For your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. What a beautiful life Demetria lived. She Was Always True to Herself. I will Miss Our Pep Talks Every January of the New Year - Exchanging Inspirations that "We Got This and This Too Shall Pass". I will always remember the Laughter and Smiles when we talked about the "Peach-Drop", and how COLD it will be, promising to Meet You there one year. Demetria, This one Hurts! But GOD knew Best! RIP/SIP My Friend. I will Never Forget You. Thanks for Sharing Your Family With Me, (Excited about going home to your little Sister and your New Neice). Continued Prayers For Strength, Peace and Guidance. Antoinette "Toni Dekle - (GCS/Northside Hospital CM Dept)

Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me....

May you be comforted in the days coming and may you have consolation in knowing that Demetria is resting free from pain or suffering in Paradise. It has been a pleasure to work with her these past 6+ years serving patients that were in need. I pray you have great memories that will make you smile when you think of her in the future. Blessings and Peace to you. Carol Braggs Co-Manager @ Northside/GCS.
