Deborah "Deb" Chamberlin

Still miss you cuz.

Hi Gary-You and the kids have been in my prayers for the last few weeks since the memorial. I have shared your "Mary from Rockford" story with many friends and each time I smile thinking about Deb and her zest. Please know your Chicago friends are thinking about you. Your message about Deb is an ongoing reminder on "how to live". Jill Broersma Olson

Dear Chamberlin Family,

You don't know me, but all of you have been in my thoughts and prayers, since your tragic loss. Deb was a customer at my husband's store, Mirage Tanning, Rockford. I lost my husband, Aron, tragically on 1-25-06, and bore witness. He was 32 and we were married 9 months. Thus, I truly feel your pain and loss. I pray that all of you FEEL GOD's loving arms around you, HE is there for you. Lean on HIM, as well as your loving family, friends and perfect...

Having just stopped at the same area where your wife/mom had her tragic accident, I just wanted to let you know you are in our prayers now and for a long time to come. I, too, love to photograph nature, as I understand Deb did. It breaks my heart to know she died this way and that you had such a difficult thing to endure. I pray that you will find some peace in time and that you will always feel her spirit in you.

Dear Gary:

Deb and I played tennis and although we have since moved to Alabama, Rockford is in our thoughts and prayers. How sorry we were to hear the tragic news. We know the wonderful "family" circle you have in Rockford is doing their best to help and comfort. Our love goes out to you and the kids; we wish we were there to help in some way! As you know Deb's love of life will live in all of our minds. All of our love, The Kolakoski Family

I am sending prayers from Phoenix, Arizona. I was touring the same sites you were, and probably on the same day. We may have passed each other at some of the sites on that day. I haven't stopped thinking about you since I read what happened. It has also changed my memories of that vacation. Know someplace in your heart that you are not alone, and that though everything is so disconnected right now, across the miles, your cries are heard.

Kelly and Family,
So sorry to hear about your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Gary my prayers are with you and you children. I knew Deb at Haworth and cherished the time I spent with her.
