We know Deven is now with his beloved heavenly family and is loved here on earth as well as in heaven. We LOVE and MISS you so much XOXO!! You weren't like other children, And God was well aware, You'd need a caring family, With love enough to share. And so, He sent you to us, ...And much to our surprise, You haven't been a challenge, But a blessing in disguise. Your winning smiles and laughter, The pleasures you impart, Far outweigh your special needs, And melt the coldest heart. We're proud that we've been chosen, To help you learn and grow, The job that you have brought us, Is more than you can know. A precious gift from Heaven, A treasure from above, A child who's taught us many things, But most of all Real Love" - author unknown Deven thanks for being our gift from God and we look forward to seeing you again! A celebration of Deven’s life will be held at 5915 Leewood Drive, Colorado Springs, Colorado, 80918 on Saturday, June 27, 2020 beginning at 2 p.m.-4 p.m. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided. Deven will be laid to rest at Evergreen Cemetery with a private ceremony with family. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. -John 3:16
