We will miss you every day. You were always there for us. I'll always remember you yelling at Wayne and lighting one cigarette at a time. Lol. One after the other. I'll always think of you during Twilight. I can't believe this is real, but I know you got your crown and your with your loved ones. We will see you again, one day. Love you, Deborah.
