Prayers for Deane

By now many of us have received the heartbreaking news that our beloved family member, Deane Hibbert was struck with a life threatening stroke while in Australia. On Thursday, Deane made it through a surgery to relieve pressure on his brain but remained in critical condition. The first days after the operation were pretty critical but doctors were encouraged by Deane’s ability to respond and squeeze his wife’s hand.  His children (Asha, Kim & Daniel) and his brother (Daron) have all made the trip and have joined his wife Debbie by his side. Please send your love and prayers to Deane and his beautiful family during their time of need.

For updates on Deane’s condition and to make donations to the family please see the Bulletin Board.

    Hi big cuz I just spoke to you about three weeks ago via video skype and you look fine. We all love you and praying for you to get well. Nikolas ask everyday if you are getting better. The day before you got sick Nikolas left you a message on skype. I don’t know if you got it, but with a lot of the family praying for you, you will.

  20. Roneith on Thu, 23rd Sep 2010 8:56 am 

    Dearest Deane, You’re in my thoughts daily and I wonder how you are. When I was growing up, you were always a familiar face at Uncle Chubby’s house. And then as an adult, I formerly met you at the 2007 Family Reunion…and things have never been the same since! At the 2007 Reunion banquet, you took the mic and sang to all of our surprise. That one moment inspiried our latest tradition at the 2010 Reunion, Hibbert Idol 🙂 Your passion for life radiates to all around you and I know you have much more to give. May the Holy Spirit heal you and restore you to the great man we know you are. Loving you always, r

  21. Angela, Ayinde, Mandisa and Ato on Thu, 23rd Sep 2010 2:29 pm
