Not sure what to say?

I miss my mom. I have all sorts of memories, good and bad. I know I wasn't the best son and didn't treat her well all the time. I was especially distant from her in her last years. I can never take that back or make amends. She is missed. I pray that maybe in her last days she came back to Jesus and, because of that, we will have eternity to worship the Lord together.

Who could ever forget a joyful young Debbie Cottrell singing loudly & skipping to the tune of Yellow Submarine while belting out, "We all live in a yellow stinky house." All the while Thelma had that teacher look on her face with one raised eyebrow. This memory stuck with me mostly because of how much Debbie loved singing it & how much Thelma didn´t want to hear it. Btw- the house smelled just fine.

My cousin Debbie held a special place in my heart and will be missed. Thoughts and prayers to her brothers and sister.

So sorry to hear. We were good friends in school. Prayers for the family at this difficult time.

So sorry for your loss.

May you and yours feel the warmth of God's grace and love.

I was so sorry to hear of your sisters passing my condolences to the family

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Susie, Tom and Joe, I am deeply sorry to hear that Debbie passed away. We had some terrific memories of growing up on Michigan Street. I also remember having big dinners together when you still lived on Tiffany Street too. You have all been some of the best people I have ever known. I am out of state on vacation so I can't be at the service. Even though it has been a lot of years since we have seen each other, I will always consider you to be friends.
