David and Danny, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom. Her picture is beautiful. I hadn't seen her for several years, but clearly remember Debbie as being a kind and warm individual. But more importantly, I knew that she was totally a loving and devoted Mother. Not only me but my entire family have always considered you, Dave, as my adopted son and your Mom would always laugh when we talked about it. My heart breaks for you both, as well as your Dad. Please know you're all in my prayers.
