To Monte & family & Deborah’s family we express our deepest condolences. I know that God will give you strength & comfort you all . We will remember Deborah fondly & she will always be in our hearts . God bless you.
Deborah was one of the best! Her beautiful smile radiated the love she had in her heart for God, her family and everyone she met. My Mom, Love Harris loved her dearly and always looked forward to her visits over the years. I am sure they are enjoying their heavenly visit now and forever. Just being in her presence always uplifted me even when i knew she was feeling bad. She will be truly missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing her. Rejoicing that she is no longer suffering and is celebrating in her Heavenly home.

Mr. Ford,
I am so saddened by this news. I have wonderful memories of Mrs. Ford from my high school years with J. Monte and our group of friends. She was a remarkable person and the best wife and mother. You all were a team and such fun. I know you have been through a lot and I pray you stay in The Word, close to Christ and know you will all three be united again.
May the Lord hold you in the palm of His hand.
Love,
Ainsley

Deborah was my manager for many years at the laboratory. She was kind, generous and she took care of all of us. I will always remember her smile.
My heart aches for your family in the loss of Debra. She was a beautiful person, inside and out. She was also a
very gentle spirit. Our world would be a better place if there were more people like her in it. Praying for you daily. Love, Judy
