Dear Aunt Debby,
My mom described to me how you were so excited when I came into the world. I will always remember the fun times we had when we would come up for the weekend or so and stay at your place. Attending your children's weddings,(being the flower girl in one), introducing me to a girl around my age and my brother to a boy around his age when we were young which created a friendship that grew when we played with them at your house,riding the motorcycle, eating your delicious food, hanging out in your comfortable living room, having my hair done, swimming in the community pool, having BBQs at the pool and at your house, joining you and your family for the annual OBX trip as a mother's helper and for pure fun, and much more. You were the funniest,kindest,prettiest person I could ever aspire to be one day. Your love for reading, learning, helping, and nursing children and people are just a few characteristics that formed our "very special bond" as Megan(daughter)said. I love and miss you so much Aunt Debby. I will not only remember you as my crazy Aunt Debby from Maryland who had a laugh, and sense of humor that would light up a room, but my role model, and probably many others, whom had a kind spirit and loving heart.
With sweetness, (not as sweet as your ) your girl, Emma Jane Grace
My condolences go out to her immediate family, extended family, adopted family, countless amount of friends around the world, and any other lives she has touched. May you and I cherish the uncountable number of memories we shared with her during her time here on earth, let her kind spirit remain, and her beautiful personality live on forever. ~Rest in peace beautiful angel, fly high~
