It is difficult to write this through tears, but I wanted all of you to know that Debra passed away this morning. She had been in the hospital since the last of her 30+ surgeries was unsuccessful sometime in July. Much of that time she was in the ICU.
Debra decided to stop dialysis last week after declining the option of going into hospice care. Her mother-in-law brought the two girls to see their mom for the last time a few days ago. Debra’s in-laws, our friends, will be caring for the children.
Please pray for Debra’s husband, Daniel, the two girls, and the rest of the family. The older girl is 6 or 7 and the younger is about 18 months old.
Thank you for your prayers. I know I have not included everyone who has prayed for Debra, so if you could let others know, it would be appreciated.
“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” ~ Rev. 21:4

This is beyond hard for this family, especially the 7 yr old. My prayers for all the family as they try to process this monumental loss. Lord hear our prayers for strength and peace for Debra’s grieving family.
O God of spirits and of all flesh,
You have trampled down death
and have abolished
the power of the devil,
giving life to Your world.
Give rest to the soul
of Your departed handmaiden Debra
in a place of light,
in a place of repose,
in a place of refreshment,
where there is no pain,
sorrow, and suffering.
As a good and loving God,
forgive every sin she has committed
in thought, word or deed,
for there is no one who lives
and is sinless.
You alone are without sin.
Your righteousness
is an everlasting righteousness,
and Your word is truth.
For You are the resurrection,
the life
and the repose of Your departed handmaiden Debra
Christ our God,
and to You we give glory,
with Your eternal Father
and Your all holy,
good and life-giving Spirit,
now and forever and to the ages of ages.
AMEN.
