Family, Friends and Loved Ones:

Our hearts are full as we appreciate all of the love and unconditional support that each and everyone of you has offered to Belinda & Darrell over the past several days and many weeks, months and years to come in the future. We are so grateful to have such an amazing foundation for which Belinda and Darrell along with all of our family can stand on during this time of loss and sorrow.

As we prepare to honor and celebrate our mother's life, many of you have reached out to all of the members of our family to offer support, ask what can you do for us, how can you contribute or just what do we need help with? We are truly blessed to have each and everyone of you in our lives for these unconditional gestures of love, assistance and generosity. Words could never truly convey our gratitude!!!

In lieu of flowers, baskets, meals or other heart filled gestures, for those that would like to contribute we will be hosting a Cabaret Celebration of Life for Deborah Ann Gross instead of a traditional repast gathering. Mom loved to dance, "especially hand dancing and she was truly the life of any party or celebration." Fashion was her passion and she dressed to kill no matter the occasion or event. We will pay tribute to her life and legacy through fashion and dancing at an Old School Cabaret Celebration. Let's get dressed up in our best red & black outfits and dance our tears into sweat on the dance floor.

These are our wishes to commemorate the life of our mother. Donations will be primarily used for the cabaret celebration of life and all remaining donations not used will be donated in Deborah’s name to the Dementia Society of America and The Breast Cancer Research Foundation ).

We love and appreciate all of our family, friends and loved ones and do not take your big-heartedness for granted and we appreciate both of our circles of love and support for the overwhelming outreach and comforting us in your hearts.

Love

Belinda & Darrell

aka Linda & Butchie
