Sgt. Major Plumley, Debbie and family,
Mrs. Plumley was a flower in bloom every day - beautiful, graceful, generous. I loved her and will miss her, and yet, the memories will far outlive the sadness of this day as she sprinkled enough stardust to last us all a life time! I will never have another piece of pie that I won't think of her. Nor will I see an Elvis figurine that I won't break out into a big smile. To Sgt. Major and Debbie - much love!
