Debbie, please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family. I didn't know your Mother, but if she was anything like you she was a wonderful and amazing person. May God bless her soul and give you strength during this time.

Debbie: I'm so sorry for your loss. I'll never forget your Mom when we were in high school and especially the blue hands episode!
