My deepest sympathies to all of you. I will cherish the years that I was able to do your mom‘s hair, all the wonderful visiting we had was so special, she was a wonderful lady.
Kari and family of DeVonne. We are so sorry for the loss of your mom. There are many memories of the great times we had together with your family and neighbors, in what I call, the Caledonia days. God bless you all.
I was sorry to hear about DeVonne’s passing. I got to know DeVonne because my mother, Bee Meyer, was in the nursing home. DeVonne always remembered me and we had many, many good conversations over the years. I really enjoyed getting to know her! My condolences to your family.
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of DeVonne. She was definitely one of my favorite customers at The Shack on Broadway. I always enjoyed seeing her, she had a way of making my day just a little brighter. He beautiful smile and kind heart will surely be missed. Prayers for all of you.
So sorry to hear of your loss. DeVonne was such a good friend to my mother. I noticed the gold cross in the processional that my mother requested also. I’m missing that great generation. Thinking they are maybe at the “real deal” bible study together. Hoping you are comforted by your faith, family and friends. Regards, Cheryl Hemberger
