To the family, Deidra was a sister to me, when someone would ask if we were related we always said yes sisters. I remember all the road trips to Trenton, NJ and me fussing because Deidra was texting while driving Lol! I remember when we drove to Florida for our jobs and made it a road trip with our children and I ended up driving nine of the 18 hours and the many other trips to Texas and California. I remember the late night telephone calls and working with you in your Day Care Center. I will really miss my sister in so many ways but her memory will always be cherished in my heart. My Deepest Sympathy to the Family please kiss and hug Dior & Christian for me and Dior I am here for you anytime. Blessings From Deacon Cynthia Miller, New JErsey
