To the Family of Mrs. Deborah; I'm sorry for your loss.

I had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Deborah as a team at the Wonderful Beginnings CDC.
Mrs. Deborah was a wonderful person and a wonderful teacher.

Mrs. Deborah always had a smile on her face and always made me laugh with one of her jokes.

Mrs. Deborah as you enter into GOD'S KINGDOM please continue to teach with all your degrees you well earned.

You were indeed a very loving person.

Goodbye until we meet again.
