Not sure what to say?

I met Deb in High School; we worked together at ISI and went to Quinsig. She had the greatest dimples, and always had a positive upbeat attitude, and I wished I could be like her. Some of those positive attributes I learned from her during that time I use to this day with my own sons. She was very proud of every member of her family, and never failed to express it. I hadn't seen her in probably 20 years, but I have never forgotten her. May she shine as a beacon to everyone who knew her.

Dear Jenn,

You are a special young lady, a beautiful reflection of your mother. She poured her heart, soul, and life into you. How special for you and for all of us because she will live on in you, and we will get to see her when we see you. We love you and hope we will stay in touch. Know we will always have you in our thoughts and prayers.

To the Burnham/Milkman Families:
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Debbie was such a wonderful person. I will always remember her laugh and the way she took me under her wing. My prayers and thoughts are with you and yours at this time.

Jenn and family, I so wish I could have seen Deb one last time. She was very loved and will be missed terribly. My thoughts, prayers and love are with you all. Peggy

Jenn:

I worked with your Mom at Astra. I remember you as a little girl at our Christmas parties and how proud she was of you. She was always striving to move ahead and get an education so she could make things better for you! She was a great mom! I also remember your Mom's sense of humor and her laugh - just thinking of it makes me smile! She was a wonderful person. My thoughts and prayers are with you!

Jenn I never got to meet you mom but if you are alot like her she was a awesome person. I am very sorry and if you need anything you know where I am. Stay strong
