Dear John and Marydean:
I am so sorry to have heard that Debbie had passed away. My mom called and told me. Sometimes it is hard to understand why God takes the young, and leaves us! I can only remember when we were young, and Grandpa and Grandma Shaw living still in Flint before moving to Clio. I think the last time I saw Debbie was at Pam and Mike's wedding. Just remember she may not be here to see, but her spirit will remain with you until you meet her and your Family again in...

I first seen Debbie in high school, we both attended Southwestern High and rode the bus to the Genesee Area Skill Center. I didn’t have any classes with Debbie we just occasionally spoke in passing on the bus. I really didn’t get to know her, my impression of her then was she spoke her mind with a rather sternly voice. 15 years later my wife and I had just closed on our newly purchased home. Excited, we were walking around looking at our new home before we moved in and who do I hear calling...
