Tina and Family. I am so sorry to hear of the
loss of your Mom. My thoughts are with you.💔
Minister, Mother, Elder, Sister, and Friend; respectfully, Linda S. (Allison) Degree, you will always be remembered for your sweetness (Proverbs 3:24 “When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.”) You were loved by many. My deepest condolences to the Degree Family.
