My thoughts & prayers go out to all those affected by the loss of a wonderful woman. I'll always remember Deb's beautiful smile & contagious laughter. Her kindness & sweetness will never be forgotten. She had a way about her that made people feel so special. Deb's family meant the world to her & she spoke of them often. Your loss must be immeasurable & your grief tremendous. I regret not meeting all of you. I'm sorry for your pain. I feel the loss as soon as I open my eyes in the morning. I'm grateful our last visit together was a happy one. Deb was excited to give me Xmas gifts, even though it was March! Each thing she'd chosen for me meant something & reflected our unique friendship together. That night we "belly laughed" to the point of feeling sick to our stomaches, but it was all good & a lot of fun. We loved to laugh together & found humor wherever we could find it.

Deb was very good to me & I'll miss her so very much... She now is one of my guardian angels with the beautiful green eyes. I'll love her forever in my heart & soul. She's gone but never forgotten by those of us who loved her.

You left us too early, but there are more than enough memories to last my lifetime. I will never forget your familiar loving voice, calling me 'Marky'.
