Dear Jane, I am so sorry for your mothers passing. I did not know her well, but I knew you a long time ago. Y’all lived just up the street from us. My mother and your mom were friends. We lived on Blackwood Road. I just remember going in and out of your house, and playing on the swings, and in the creek... and your mom let us! We even had sleepovers. We had fun! When my mother passed, it was not fun, but with time it got easier. Just take care of you, and yours, and hang in there! Prayers for you... Lissa

Deena was gracious and kind. She loved WMU and was the director at Immanuel for many years. Her love of the Lord was demonstrated by her gentle heart and deep interest in missions. It was a privilege to know her.
