Guestbook

  1. Our sympathy goes out to the family of Debra. Thank you for being the mother-in-law of our granddaughter Jessica (Dave’s wife) and their two beautiful children Logan and Sami Jo. We enjoyed sharing special times in Mt. Sterling, Il with you and your children and other family members.

  2. May I offer my sincere condolences to Debra’s family for your loss. Losing a loved one is very difficult. Lovingly, the Bible assures us that God sees our pain and promises a beautiful future where he will “swallow up death” and “wipe away the tears from all faces.” (Isaiah 25:8). For additional comfort during your bereavement, please see the article “When a Loved One Dies” on jw.org. May you find comfort in our Heavenly Father’s promises.

  3. My sincere sympathy is extended to Debbie’s family and friends. I had the privilege to work with her many years. She helped provide services for the seniors in Stark and Marshall counties.
