Dear Debbie,
I will never forget your beautiful smile and your sense of humor. I only knew you for a little while but you will remain in my heart forever. I remember with a big smile on your face, you saying that you wanted to get out of bed and run through the field across the way and I prayed that one day you would get better and would get to do that. I miss you and I will never forget you ever. Thank you for giving me Riccy, the best thing that has ever happened to me.

DEAR DEBBIE, AS YOU NOW KNOW, THERE IS AN ETERNAL SOUL. IT WAS THERE BEFORE THE BIG BANG AND IT WILL BE THERE WHEN THE UNIVERSE IS DUST. WE ARE ALL PART OF IT AND AS SUCH WE CANNOT CEASE TO BE. YOU DEAR DEBBIE HAVE JOINED WITH THE ETERNAL SOUL AND ARE NOW CONTINUING YOUR JORNEY THROUGH ETERNITY AND EACH OF US IN OUR TURN WILL JOIN YOU. YOU ALWAYS HAD A SMILE AND A HAPPY GREETING FOR YOUR UNCLE CHUCK AND NOW, WHEN I FEEL LOW, I DON'T NEED A STIMULANT. I GO ON AN UPPER JUST REMEMBERING YOUR...

Debbie,
I'm blessed to have know you, your witty sense of humor was a gift to all. So many people loved you and will miss you.

On the day your body died,
The evening sky was dark
with clouds
Of a coming storm.

On the day your body surrendered
it's pain,
We walked in a surreal,
numbing mist of sadness
to the hospital parking lot.

On the day you sighed with your last
breath,
The wind swept up the leaves
around our feet
In whirlwinds, and dried our
tearstained faces.

On the day your body left us,
The jeweled ridge...

Well sweetheart, we were all so blessed to have had you in our lives. A very bright light in this world wasn't extenguished, for your light will shine on in each and every life you touched whenever we think of you and your beautiful heart, and eventually our tears will change to laughter. Thank you for your gift.

Aunt Debbie,
I love you so much and I am glad that ou are no longer in pain. I will see you again. Hope you are having a good time up there.

You always knew how to make me laugh. Thank you! When you spoke about your children Amanda and Riccy you glowed. I knew how much you loved them. Your were a great mother.

Thank you for the fond memories, we will miss you!

Love always,

There are no words to truly say how much you meant to me, but I know you already know that. We knew each other for 47 years and through it all my best memories are of us pretending we had horses and then finally actually having horses. And my best memory of you is your wonderful and sparkling laughter. When you'd crack a joke it would be your laugh that made it all the more funny.

You were one of the rare people who could make all those around you smile and feel...
