It's been years since you flew away. I miss you more and more each day. Although we are miles away, I still want you to come out and play. I hold on to the thoughts of you, and that helps me make it through. For I know that some day we'll be together again and we can play. Love you and miss you Deb!

Sorry to hear of Deb's passing. She was a great person. One of the most fun and entertaining interviews I have ever had was when she hired me many years ago.

Debbie,
I will always cherish our memories from all the years we had together growing up. You were taken way too soon my loving sister. Your smile always lit up any room you ever walked into. You always had a level head on your shoulders. Even when you stuck beans in your nose and they sprouted and the doctor had to use long tweezers to get them out. You said you were planting them. You knew what you were doing. It's memories like this one that will be ours forever and ever. I Love you so much and miss you.
