I will forever remember so many fun times with you my friend. My heart is heavy but my memories will make me smile. You were so special to me and as I think of our younger days and the fun we had it is clear why you were so dear to me. You helped teach me so many things and for that, for our friendship and the love you showed I am thankful and very blessed. I will miss you Debi and know I am not alone when I say this world will miss your singing, your kindness and your laughter.
