To Judy and all the family, My prayers are with you at this time of loss. May God send his blessing of peace and joy to you as you continue to celebrate the life of your mother.
from: Diana Brian
To all of the family of Ms. Deva,
I praise God for having been given the opportunity to know and love your Mother. By the Grace of God your family reached out a loving hand to my daughter and I and you welcomed us into your hearts with open arms. Your Mother touched so many people and I for fact can say I was one. Her love will continue to flow on through all of you and knowing that she has gone to be with our Lord to wait for our arrival is such a comfort. Those who have been called Home will never be out of our hearts but will continue to shine over us and protect us daily. May God lay His hands over each of you with peace and serenity.
All our love,
Susan & Amanda Friedrich

I was so sorry to learn of Deva’s passing. I remember her gentle smile when she was at The Forest. My thoughts are with you and your family during this time.

Some people pass through this world and leave it just as they found it…but people like Deva took the time to do the special things that made the world more beautiful. Once you met Deva, you knew you had a friend for life. She made you feel like you were the most important person to her. You wanted to be around her. She filled your heart with love and gratefulness by her words. She seemed to always know what to say to put things into perspective. She was a friend I will always treasure in my heart. Since I have been ‘adopted’ into her familuy I am blessed with more friends to treasure. God is good.
