I'm so sorry for your loss. I believe I'm a niece to Deb, but so many things are unknown. Would love to get into contact with my father's siblings.

It has been one year since God decided you had suffered enough and took you safely home. You fought the good fight, Deb, so proud of you for that. It's lonely here being unable to talk to you every week and share our lives. Think of you every day and will love and miss you forever. Prayers for both you and Jack, til we meet again. Always, Mom & Rick

It has been one year ago today since we hugged and cried and said our special goodbys. I now know the sorrow of a parent losing a child, it never goes away. We had good times and some not so good. I will never forget you. You are always on my mind every minute of every day. I have always loved you and know we will be together again one day.Bless you my dear daughter, Love Mom.

Tammy, Everything just takes me a little longer than others but I finally found
your sister Debbies obituary. I loved
looking at the pictures; the similarities of you two are amazing!!
Remember all the good times spent with your sister during healthier and happier times and those memories will get you thru the difficult days. I know
how much you cared for her when she was
ill; you're a good sister and friend.
Fondly, Jill Burt

Debbie, My Daughter & best friend: It's been one month since you've been gone. I can still feel your tears on my face and your hand in mine when we said goodbye for the last time. Although my heart has a big hole in it, it still holds a lifetime of memories that we shared. I know you are now free from pain and worries and I also know for sure we will be together again some day. See you then my sweet daughter. Love you & miss you forever and always, especially those Sat. morning calls, Your Mom.
