Deloris Was Also Blessed With Extraordinary Friendships That Meant The World To Her. Two Very Special Friends Who Stood Faithfully By Her Side Were Barbara Brown And Regina Merritt. She Called Them Her Ride Or Die! Deloris Had A Personal And Unwavering Relationship With The Lord That Was Evident To All Who Knew Her. She Believed In Standing Still And Waiting To Hear From God Before She Moved. When God Spoke, She Listened. If Anyone Asked Her To Pray For Them, She Would Stop Whatever She Was Doing And Pray At That Very Moment. She Understood That When Someone Brings A Request Before The Lord, They Are Believing For God To Move.

She Was A Faithful Servant Who Lived To Do The Will Of God. Her Life Was A Testimony Of Faith, Prayer, And Obedience. Surely, God Is Well Pleased With The Life She Lived And The Purpose She Fulfilled, And Now We Believe Heaven Has Her With The Words:
