Dear Orr family, My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. I am Tonni Pressler's sister and Loyal, Darlene, Debbie, Cheryl and Keith lived at my parents apartments when they moved to Phoenix from Anchorage. I remember her telling me about the earthquake in Alaska. I saw Debbie at my Mom's 90th birthday in Mesa 4 years ago. It was wonderful to see her again after all those years. I wish I had gotten to meet all of her children and grandchildren. I was saddened to hear the news when Tonni called me the other evening. We lost our Mom in May and so I really know and understand the loss you feel. Take care of each other and know that you are in my thoughts.
