With great sadness this Sunday morning I have come to learn Deb Slone, affectionately known as SloneDeb, passed away this Friday, April 3rd. My sincere condolences to Jacky, her husband and to her daughters and son and grandchildren. 

It was an honor this past year to get to know Deb, and to support her along with all Slonerangers here on bc.org and elsewhere as her disease progressed. I know in my heart she felt our support, especially at times when fear runs strong and faith seems the grain of a mustard seed. Deb kept that faith, remained dedicated to her family, and always urged faith for those riding out their storms.

May you fly with fellow Angels, Deb. I miss you already.

Love,

Tender 

DEBORAH LYNN FERRELL SLONE, 54, of Bevinsville, Ky., wife of Jacky Slone, died Friday in Pikeville (Ky.) Medical Center. She was a homemaker. Funeral service 1 p.m. Monday, Nelson Frazier Funeral Home, Martin, Ky.; burial at Buckingham Cemetery, Bevinsville. Visitation after 6 p.m. Saturday at the funeral home. http://www.herald-dispatch.com/news/briefs/x878825669/Friday-night-obituary-update

    This news is very sad.  I have been away from the boards for a few weeks.  I was just thinking of Deb and wondering how she was.  Thanks for letting us know Tender.  I will say a prayer for her family.

    A short sweet prayer I found:

     I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord:

    she that believeth in me, though she were dead, yet shall she live:

    and whosoever liveth and believeth in me,

    shall never die.

    I just joined the bc "club" recently...had my first chemo this past Tuesday... 

    I read all the posts here and feel I missed out on known Slonedeb...

    Someday...I can only imagine...I'll get to meet her in Heaven. 

    "I can only imagine what it will be like, when I walk by Your side...
    I can only imagine, what my eyes will see, when Your Face is before me!
    I can only imagine. I can only imagine.

    Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?
    Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?
    Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?
    Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'? Will I be able to speak at all?
    I can only imagine! I can only imagine!

    I can only imagine, when that day comes, when I find myself standing in the Son!
    I can only imagine, when all I will do, is forever, forever worship You!
    I can only imagine! I can only imagine!

    Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?

    Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?
    Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?
    Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'? Will I be able to speak at all?
    I can only imagine! Yeah! I can only imagine!

    Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?

    Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?
    Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?
    Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'? Will I be able to speak at all?
    I can only imagine! Yeah! I can only imagine!

    I can only imagine! Yeah! I can only imagine!! Only imagine!!!
    I can only imagine.

                            I can only imagine, when all I do is forever, forever worship You!
                                                         I can only imagine."

    One can't help but feel sad at the passing of Deb because we will miss her. At the same time the heart rejoices that she is now at her "real home"

    . She was a wonderful witness for The Lord and hopefully touched many lives by her faith. We will see each other again Dear Sister.

    This news saddens me, but I am so happy that Deb is now pain free.  I first me her in the chatroom after I was diagnosed.  We would visit for hours.  She was a strong lady and one heck of a fighter. 

    My condolences to her family.

    Rest in peace dear Deb.
