Dear Workman family. I am so sorry to have read of the death of Oretha. Please accept my sincere condolences. I would like to share something that I have personally found to be comforting. It is found in the Bible at John 5:28, 29 and Revelation 21:4. These verses tell us that soon God is going to bring about a resurrection of our dear loved ones as well as do away with all causes we have for suffering, including sickness and death. Knowing this has always comforted me and it is my hope that these thoughts will comfort your family also.

Oh this makes me sad. Deanie was quite the personality! She decided she was going to volunteer at school to see how things were going for Nolan. Lucky us because she made such a difference for the children she worked with. Deanie used her smile and her wit to make friends and she called it like she saw it. I will never forget the day she thought the bathroom needed cleaning. She marched right up to the principal and told them that if they didn't get it cleaned right, she would volunteer to come up the next day and clean it herself. It was spotless when she showed up. This lady lived much bigger than her size and I'm sure her family and friends will miss her greatly. Rest easy, Deanie! Your reward is in heaven.
