i dont think any sister adored a brother as much as Debb did Kris.She always longed to see him and wondered when he would be able to able to fly out to see her and her parents because of her parents illness.he always kept in touch with her and gave her strengh and hope when her mom and dad were so ill.Not knowing him but hearing of him and his possitive outlook and for his love of his family and his sister made me a fan of a total stranger. My heart goes out to debb,barb and the children.My hugs are from afar but my door and heart are always open for you all. GOD BLESS Es Amore Mia Debb
