I just received a returned Christmas card I sent her in December. I had no clue she had passed.

I met her years ago as she tailored my clothes and all my children“s first communion gowns, suits and prom dresses. We had many wonderful conversations.

I am so sad to hear that she passed away. She was always so uplifting and encouraging to me. I knew she was in so much pain so now she is pain free! May God grant her eternal rest and let perpetual light shine upon her!

Deborah, you ARE missed.

I became friends with Deborah via FB and later,I spent a weekend with her. Me, my camera and little Miss Spitfire. She was very accomplished at navigating downtown Charleston. I? Not so much. I remember being surprised that she'd never seen the Angel Oak. That was a first for the both of us.
Deborah, you will forever be missed by all who knew and loved you. I pray you count me among the blessed. Soar high with the Angels.
God bless and comfort your family.

Fly with the Angel's, my friend, Deborah Parrish

Debby was my good friend from church when we were young teens. I have fond memories of hanging out at her house and at church. I'm sorry we lost touch many years ago, and I'm sorry she's no longer here.
