Dear Deb, Dar, and Annie,
Your mom will be missed by many, she had a way of making you feel comfortable and part of the family. Throughout highschool, marriage, and children she was there. When I was with Debbie she was there, she was part of the package.
I dont how she did it, three very different girls but one common goal, she loved them all.
The yelling between this family was legendary and would make for a great sitcom.
She will always be with us because of you three, shes apart of you and your more like her than you know.
I love you girls and if you ever need me just to talk call me anytime. Some of my favorite memories are Laura, stories.
My prayers are with you all.

Love,
gail

Deb, Darlene and Annie . . . . I'm so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. During our Junior High and High School days I practically lived at your house and have fond memories of your Mom and Dad (especially him in his boxers eating ground meat sandwiches !!) They are together now, without pain, and in a much better place. Love to you all, Diane
