Passing of Debbie James
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Debbie James, Chapter leader of the Compassionate Friends in Johannesburg. Debbie passed away on the 9th September after a short illness.
Debbie touched the lives of many bereaved families as they dealt with their own tragic and unimaginable losses. For many, she was a true pillar of strength and support in their hour of need.
She will be remembered for her compassion, guidance and always being there with a willing ear. Our thoughts are with Debbie’s family at this tragic time. She will be sorely missed.
