We miss you SO MUCH, Deb! Even though it has been ten years now, it seems like yesterday! Hearts were broken! But LOVE is FOREVER! And so many of of us hold you close and dear! We hear your distinctive laugh and can picture your happy smile. I hope you are looking down and seeing all the things here that would make you laugh out loud! You would be so proud of Bryan and Janna and their families. And you would be amazed at "Little Bryan". Only he isn't little any more. He has become a handsome, talented and incredible young man! Bryan also has twin boys that are adorable! And Janna has two beautiful girls that are full of talent and joy! You would be overflowing with pride of all of them! Paul sent me a message today. He said we are remembering our Precious Deb today. We are both grateful for all the fun loving years we had with you! And are grateful we were together to see you on your journey! The entire family seems to remember one thing that they loved most about you. Yes, it is you laugh! It was like no other! So I hope you are looking down on your family who misses you so much. And knowing you were and always will be SO LOVED!

Dear Deb.....We are always thinking of you and remembering so many great times! Your laugh would be my number one! It was yours and yours alone. And it was special. I remember going places and watching you try to wrangle everyone. You were always planning ahead and organizing things. Such a good leader and example! Although I do have to laugh at our family trips to Busch Gardens. Pop running off. And us spending half the time just trying to find him. Until we would just give up and howl with laughter! I am especially happy to see both Janna and Bryan spending so much time with their kids! You were a great example for them. And you would be so proud of both of them and their wonderful children!!! It is hard to believe so much time has past since we were together! You were my hero and still are. Whenever I start to complain, I think of you! That brave women who fought so hard to stay with us! My heart is is with you now! And I am glad you are in Heaven where there is no pain! I hope you are surrounded by our loving family. AND.....saving a place for those of us who will join you one day! Until then I like to play a little message Janna sent to me of you laughing. It makes me laugh out loud every time I hear you! I love and miss you! You are here within our hearts. And NEVER forgotten! Thank You for being such a great role model of what a wife and mother should be. You are my inspiration! Love you! Miss you! Carol

Dear Deb! First of all Happy Birthday! Then Merry Christmas! I always felt like you got a bad deal with that. But then again, I never forgot your Birthday! I hope and pray that you are looking down and seeing your children and grandchildren today. You are so lucky to have two great children and all those wonderful grandchildren!! You would be so very very proud! Jr. was your only grandchild when you left us. I know how much time and devotion you gave him. He turned out so well! All grown up now!!!! He was your heart and I hope you somehow know that! You are so missed down here. I am grateful to know you will be up there with Pop, Gram and Dana today! It is probably crowded with everyone trying to look down on us at once. Just know we are all looking up. Letting you know that you will never be forgotten! Deb, I love and miss you.....Carol

Thinking of you today Deb! Well, I really think of you every day. But this is the 8th anniversary of the day you left us. While that is a sad memory for all of us, we stand together in the knowledge that you are in a place where you would be healthy, whole and loved for all eternity! You and I talked about what it would be like a lot. And you so loved the idea that you would be well and able to run free in those fields of wild flowers. So today I am picturing just that. You running and laughing. Your body free of pain. Hopefully looking down on all those grandchildren while waiting for the day you can wrap them in your loving arms! Heaven must be so amazing! I give thanks to God today for welcoming you with open arms! And am comforted that you are with Dana, Pop, Gram and Ralph. You are so missed. Not a single day goes by when I do not think of you all and say your names. Our earthly heroes and Heavenly Angels! I love and miss you! Carol

Thinking of you today, Deb. It has been seven years now since you left us. But we all remember you and think of you every day! Many things have happened that would make you so happy! You have five grandchildren! Bryan Jr is doing fantastic! He was Homecoming King at school. And he does announcements on TV there, too. You would be so proud of him!!!! You laid a lot of good ground work with him here. And it really shows!! Bryan has young twin boys that look really sweet. And Janna has two darling little girls!!!! They are so cute and smart. I see you in them. You would laugh and laugh all day long if you were with them. They are quite the characters and little entertainers. We all miss you! And wonder, what if? I am so grateful to have had you in my life. I hope we will all be reunited one day in heaven! And I hope you and Dana are taking good care of each other up there. I will always think of you as My Hero! You were so strong and brave! Just know your spirit lives on in so many who loved you! Until we are all together again, know you are held in the hearts of many! Love.....Carol

Happy Birthday, Deb!
I made a visit to see your spot yesterday. Cleaned it up a little. I know this was always a busy time of the year for you. Christmas, your birthday and New Year's all coming at once. You would rush around doing so much for all your family and friends!! I hope you have been at the portal looking down on all of us. I know you would have loved to see Janna's girls in their school and church programs. They are quite the little entertainers!! And to see that Bryan Jr. was crowned Homecoming King at his school!! This was so amazing as I know how much you wanted good things for him!! He will graduate from high school this year. Time passes by so fast now. I wish you were here to celebrate all the good things that have happened. But I always imagine you in Heaven. As Paul would say, running through the wildflowers you loved so much. And sitting on the lap of Jesus. I am happy that you are no longer in pain and are rejoicing with our Loved Ones! You are so missed here. Held in the hearts of so many! I wish you were here to have a huge piece of birthday cake. While I know that cannot happen, I will wish you a very Happy Birthday!
Love and Miss You....Carol

Dear Debbie....
Missing you so much today! It is hard to believe six years have passed. Your family and friends love you so! Janna has those two sweet daughters you wished for her. And Bryan has three sons now. I wish that all of them could have known you as their Grandmother. What a wonderful influence you would have been on them! I came to visit your resting place today. I did a nice makeover for you! I always laugh a little as I know you would want everything to be neat, clean and looking good. But I was also sad. Just thinking of you gone so young. What a fighter you were! Thanks for being our Hero! Never complaining. Always trying so hard. We love you so much!! We pray you are with Pop, Gram, Ralph and Dana. And that we will all be together one day and rejoice forever! Until then Sweet Debbie, just know that we will think of you always. And love you for all eternity.
Love and miss you....Carol

Deb......Merry Christmas & Happy Birthday!
I always think of you having your birthday the day after Christmas. Two really special days that you celebrated at the same time. You were a Christmas Angel! I miss you every day! We have had a pandemic down here on earth. People cant be near others and have to wear masks. I have not been out very much in months. But I went to visit your spot this week. I stopped in to fix it all up. I know you would like that! I see you through the eyes of Janna and her two adorable daughters. They take lots of pictures and videos. I try to imagine you being here with all of them and just being so thrilled by them! And I think of how astounded you would be if you could see how grown up Bryan is now. He has his own truck thanks to Bryan! Just amazing! I wish you could have been here to see all of your Grandchildren along their in their journeys! I see Paul every Sunday for an online church service. And talk to him frequently. We laugh about old times! I am grateful that today you have some of our family members up there with you in Heaven! Pop & Gram, Ralph and Dana! I hope to be able to be with you one day! Reunited and singing God's praises!
Sending love to you Debbie,
Carol

Missing you on Thanksgiving....
Debbie, I sure do miss you a lot! I was thinking of Pop & Gram as I was writing something for them today. I got to laughing because I remember all our family holiday meals. All the laughing when we had to come right to the table, eat and clean up. Poor Gram! She loved to do it, but wanted it over soon. Those were the good old days when the kids would put on skits for us. And we could just have a nice day. Such fun! I know how much you wanted them to be happy. And I am sure Thanksgiving is just the day for that! Missing you!
Thankful for you!

Dearest Debbie....
Five Years! Yes, it's been five years since you have gone. Lots of hearts were broken. Yet Heaven got an amazingly beautiful angel. How much do we miss you? More than any words could ever express! I think of you every day. I always look at pictures of you, Pop, Gram and Dana every single day. Just a quick glimpse keeps all of you near to my heart and memory.
And there are so many different memories of you for all of us. I remember you as a friend and sister. Bryan and Janna remember their incredible loving Mom. Paul remembers you as a beloved wife and great mother to your children. And on the day we celebrated Bryan Jr's 16th birthday I asked him about you. He told me he has lots of really good memories. I so wish you could have met all your newest grandchildren. They are a wonder to behold! I am glad that you, My Hero, are now at rest. I imagine you with Pop, Gram and Dana up there in Heaven. No more pain! As Paul always says, "she's running in a field of wildflowers!" For now, just know that you are missed down here on earth! You are in a lot of hearts today! And so very very loved! I will sing Wild Thing with all the motions as I visit your resting place today. I will laugh and laugh thinking of how much you laughed as we all sang that song together!!!My thoughts and prayers will be with you always! You were a kind, loving, generous and amazing woman!
Love, now and forever......Carol

Dear Debbie....
Merry Christmas to you! And a Happy Birthday for tomorrow, too! It was nice to be able to come to visit your spot yesterday. Just brought me so much comfort! I think about you a lot! As I get older with my aches and pains, I always remember that you are My Hero! As I was looking through pictures today I found one of you and Gram. She was even wearing her Christmas shirt. I know how much we all loved to go over to their house and celebrate together. I hope this year you are with Pop, Gram and Dana up there in Heaven. None of their hundred dollar bills to give out as presents. But the streets are paved with gold!Sure do miss you! Wish you were here with us today!
You are SO Loved!

Four years.......
Sometimes four years seems so long ago and other times just like yesterday! But this day, four years ago, will forever be a part of our lives! For February 18, 2015 was the day you got to go to Heaven! How wonderful for you to be with Loved Ones and in the presence of God! Yet it was devastating for all you left behind! Broken hearts and lives forever changed. You are my epitome of a Hero. Not just at the end but throughout your life. Always handling things with wisdom and fun! Your husband and children loved you! You would be silly and fun at just the right times. And a strong and wise Mother all the time! Sometimes it gets lonely down here on earth without you. But your family has grown so much. I know you are at the portal today peeking in on all of us to make sure all is well. Debbie, we will all think of you today and every day. We will remember and celebrate a beautiful woman who was the light of our lives!
The Angels have gathered!

Debbie....I am thinking of you today, and always!
Woke up thinking of you this morning, Debbie! Every time I walk outside I look at my white fence and say thank you! Today was no different! It is Christmas and I think of all the wonderful times you had growing up and then with your own family! I looked through a lot of pictures to find one for your page today. And there it was. One of you and Dana, standing in front of your Christmas tree and holding new dolls. Perfect! Now that precious Dana has joined you up in Heaven I hope the two of you are together and celebrating in those streets of gold! Pain free and filled with the glory of God! I am sad that both of you were taken way too soon, but am comforted that you are in Heaven looking down! I always said you were My Hero! And you are and always will be. But another Hero has joined you. It has only been a few weeks since Dana left us here on Earth. So fast! So sad! Well for those of us left down here on Earth. But I will now think of both of you as looking through the portal. Finding your beautiful children and grandchildren and being filled with pride and love! And from now on when I visit your spot at Manasota I will put out something for your beautiful sister, Dana. I hope you both know how much you were loved! And how much you are missed! I know your children are having a Merry Christmas with their children today. And I also know they hold you close to their hearts so you can feel the love. Special ladies! Special Sisters! Special Moms! Special Grandmothers!
Debbie and Dana! Together Forever!
And so missed....Carol
So thankful for our family!

Precious Deb.....
I am thinking of you on this Thanksgiving Day! Missing the days of old when we would either go to Pop & Gram's or over to your house! It was so much fun with all the family and the kids playing or putting on skits for us. I can hear your special laugh in my head right now!!! Those were wonderful days! And I miss you!
Today the thing I am most grateful for is that Dana gets to spend the day with her family! She is in my prayers all the time! I am glad she is with her children and hope she enjoys the day! I know your children miss you! I am sure you will be on a lot of minds today! I hope you are in the company of Pop & Gram and celebrating today just as you will for all eternity up in Heaven! That is the image I will have in my head today! I love all of you so much. And you are really missed down here! Hope you know how much you were loved and are remembered!
I am so Thankful that I had the privilege of knowing one of the greatest heroes of all time! I love you and miss you!

Dear Debbie.....
I think of you every day! And add a kiss and a prayer for you every night as I view the moon! Today I am remembering the old days when we were all young. The good times we had together as a family. And missing our youth! I was so glad that we all got to spend so much time with you before you left us. I loved seeing you giggling with Dana about being little girls who grew up as very close sisters! I know you loved being together. Today we all send you our love as we now pray for Dana. She is ill down here on earth. She, just like you, will fight the good fight! Look down on her and comfort her with your love. She speaks of you often, as you did of her. I am thinking of two beautiful little girls who turned out to be two beautiful women, both Heros in my eyes. Our family down here will pray for your sweet sister. Just the way she did for you. That's what families are for!
Missing you.......Carol

I think about you so often! I think of your bravery and perseverance. And I admire you so much! I am going through a little rough patch right now and I wish I could be more like you! You are my Hero! I thank you for the example you set for all of us. And I will strive to have the daily strength you showed during my fight with cancer. I so wish I could drive out to see you right now and sit at your spot. Just have a little conversation. Talk it over. And tell you that you will be my inspiration as I travel through my journey. I will pray every day to be more like you!
I miss you, Debbie!

Beloved Debbie....
Today it has been three years since you left us here on earth and walked through the gates of Heaven. Those of us who loved you so much were truly heartbroken, even though we were glad that you were no longer in pain. I still find myself heartbroken knowing that you left us so soon. But I imagine you with Pop and Gram and many others just doing all the things we talked about when we wondered what it would be like in Heaven. I think of you running through wildflowers and rejoicing. Eating a strawberry and looking through the portal at your beautiful children and grandchildren.
Every day I think about you. Whenever I see the moon I send you a kiss and a prayer. When I visit you and tend to you at the cemetery I tell you all the news. I just always want you to know that you are never forgotten. You live in the hearts of so many!
Today I think of your courage and strength! I admire the way you led your life and the legacy you left behind. I miss you so much and pray that someday we will be reunited. Until then I will continue to hold you dear in my heart and life. You are and always will be....My Hero!

A Day To Remember.....
Deb, today is your birthday! A lot of your friends and loved ones are remembering you in special ways. I have been thinking about you a lot lately! When I was looking through old pictures yesterday I saw so many of us in our younger days. How much fun we all had. Days filled with family times. Theme parks, going to the beach, dinners, movies and family get togethers. Always with our eyes on the children and life revolving around their happiness. Now those children are having children of their own and time continues on. I know you would be so proud so Bryan and Janna. They are both wonderful people. And you would have loved on so many grandchildren over Christmas and your birthday. Just know that you are never out of our minds and will always dwell in out hearts forever!
Happy Birthday, Dear Debbie!

Dear Deb....
Today is Thanksgiving. And I am very thankful to have known you for so many years! You are still, and always will be, my Hero! And what a gracious, loving woman you were! You are truly missed by so many! What a wonderful Mother you were. Always there, heart filled with love, kindness and patience! There are so many memories of Thanksgivings in the past where we would all be together for dinner, then watch the kids put on their skits or sing and dance! Those were some very good times! Now your children have children of their own. And they can continue that legacy! Thank You for always being a great person....a mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, wife and friend! My heart aches that you left us so soon, yet rejoices knowing you are in a place free from pain and sorrow! I hope you can look through the portal and see Janna and Bryan with their families on this Thanksgiving day. I know you would be so very proud of them and am sure you would be blowing them kisses from above! I miss you a lot. And I love to come and visit with you at Manasota to tend your little garden. Then I can fill you in on all the news from down here. Just know you will always be Loved and never Forgotten!
Missing you on Thanksgiving!

I have just been wishing you were the last few weeks! Things are always changing and happening. And I know how you would have laughed and cried. You would have been here to confide in and commiserate with. A true friend in time of need. And the one who stayed strong when all around you needed it! You are always missed and always loved! We will never let that slip away! Such a Lovely Lady!

last night I was sitting on my back porch and suddenly I was reminded of you. I decided to see if I could google you to make contact with you after all these years. A surprise blast from the past. It must be at least 25 years since I saw you and Paul last. So I typed in your name and found your obituary. My dear old friend what happen to you. I am so grateful for all the pictures on this site as I was able to to see how wonderful your life was. How blessed you were to have a loving husband, Paul, all these years. Still together.
Your children, Bryan and Jana all grown up, grandchildren. You were taken too soon. Paul, Bryan and Jana I am so very sorry for your loss. I will always remember all the fun we had together. My God I can not believe you are gone.

"Angels Gather Here"
Carol Donoho
February 18, 2017
Dear Debbie.....
I cant believe it is the 2nd anniversary of the day you left us. Sometimes it seems like way longer than that. And other times it seems like just a little while ago. Just know that you have been missed each and every day of these two years!
Today the "Angels Gathered Here" in your honor! It was so beautiful and peaceful where you rest. Surrounded by angels and your loving family in the morning. Janna with her beautiful Aubree! So sweet and so innocent! We did a wonderful balloon release while listening to the birds high up in your tree. Janna went to the house and spent time holding you in her heart. I came back to visit you again in the afternoon. It was dark and raining then. But right at 4:05 the sun burst through those clouds for just a few minutes. I called Janna so she could say a few words and let her know there was a heart shaped cloud right above us. We feel you close by and ever watchful!
I miss you, Deb! I think about you every single day for a lot of different reasons. I am glad you are in Heaven and pain free now. I hope you are eating so many of the things you loved here on earth, but could not partake of! I cherish you as the Hero of my life for your courage, as well as for your devotion to your family! I hope you are with our Loved Ones and "Gathering With Angels There". I miss you, Wild Thing! You do Make My Heart Sing!
Love....Carol
Blessed By Deb!

Sometimes I take a look back at my online calendar and journal to see what I was doing over the past few years. I did that again tonight. I looked back to see what I did on each day in the month of February. It was and still is a time of sadness. I think of all Deb went through. And how long and hard she fought the good fight for something most of us just take for granted. To Live! Just to Live! Reading over again about some of the things she dealt with reminded me of how proud I was of her!! She never complained. Just showed so much love and concern for others. She laughed even when in great pain and cried at the sorrow of her loved ones! She was so Strong! So Brave! She was My Hero!
Tonight Debbie, while I am thinking of the upcoming two year anniversary of you leaving us, I am sad! I wish you could have met Sweet Aubree. I wish you could see how much I love my fence! I wish you could feel the sun shining down on your beautiful face in your glorious garden. I wish a lot of things, my friend! But peace comes in knowing that you are free from pain and whole again! That you are in Heaven in the midst of Angels. And that you left us knowing how much you are loved! I will be thinking of you a lot. Always knowing that I was Blessed By Deb when you were here with us. And Blessed By Deb as I reflect on the goodness and love you left us.
Missing you!

Sweet Deb.....
Today is Christmas! I am wishing you were here to see your new Granddaughter's first Christmas! She is so incredibly sweet! And tomorrow is your birthday! So Happy Birthday, as well. You would have been 60 this year. All these special days make me miss you so much more! I know how you loved Christmas and your beautiful home filled with the spirit of the season! And then getting to follow that up with your birthday the day after Christmas every year! Always so exciting. We miss you down here. So much! I come to see you and take care of your special spot. I hope you know how you are loved and honored, still.....and always! Today Janna sent me a picture of Aubree visiting you there for the first time. While my heart was breaking I knew you would be at the Portal, looking down and seeing that beautiful bundle of love! I am sad that she will never get to meet you here on earth. But I know Janna will make sure she sees your pictures and hears all about you every single day. And one day, when you meet in Heaven, you will know each other's love! Until then, just know that our love for you fills our hearts and our souls.
Merry Christmas, my friend! Missing you!

Sweet Deb......
I think about you every single day! I talk to you and miss you so much! I visit you out at Manasota and tend to your special spot. I do all of these things because I love you and respect you for the Hero you are. Today is the anniversary of the day you were hit with an unbelievable tragedy. Yet you fought back for so very long. Thank you so much for fighting that fight! It gave those of us who loved you here on earth a chance to say our goodbyes and love on you before you left us. Not a day goes by without us reflecting on what a glorious woman you were! A wonderful and loving wife to Paul. An incredible mother to Bryan and Janna. And a friend to the end to everyone who knew you. My Hero!
I miss you lil Buddy! Today I will think of us sitting on the bed and singing Wild Thing with your fist pumping in the air! I will smile at the thought of how you laughed that laugh of yours. And I will remember sharing secrets and making lifelong promises together. I will never ever forget you and your loving ways! You really were a special Peach!
Loving you today and always!

Promises Are Forever.....
Deb, today is a day of promise keeping. I think you would be happy to know that your wish for your Anniversary was fulfilled. The single white rose. Your chosen card with your own personal message in it. And a balloon. All were put in place for Paul to find early this morning. He knows the promise we made together in your final days. He knows how much this meant to you! And he was so thrilled to see everything! He was moved to know that you thought of him so far into his future! We made a trip to visit with you at the cemetery this afternoon where more white roses have been placed in celebration of your wedding anniversary!
Promises ARE forever,

My Dearest Debbie....
Today it has been one year. One year that you have been rejoicing in Heaven! One year that we have missed you so very much here on Earth! One year that we have all shared our stories and memories of you! Yes, One year! It seems like yesterday, yet so long ago!
I think of you every day! Sometimes I laugh. And sometimes I cry! I think of the days of our youth. And I think of the last days you were with us. But no matter what, I am always thinking of what an incredible woman you were! You were a wonderful wife! A fantastic mother! And a true friend!
I know how happy you were when Janna married Chris. What a joyous occasion for all of you to share together as a family!

Dear Debbie....
So many people will be thinking of you today and tomorrow! Christmas Day and your 60th Birthday! So many people are missing you, as well. You touched so many lives while you lived amongst us. And I am sure you are touching millions of others as you now dwell in the house of the Lord!!! I always feel like I was touched by an angel just by knowing you. Then Janna sent me a beautiful angel for Christmas. She is holding a heart that says "Love". I put her on my computer desk right next to a picture of a true angel....YOU! It hangs right there all the time so I can see your precious face!
I have truly been touched by an angel this Christmas!

I am thinking of you today, as I do every day! But today is Thanksgiving, so I am thinking of why I am so thankful for you! You were one of the kindest humans I have ever known! You were brave, courageous, patient, funny and generous! There are so many people who miss you here on Earth! All of us know you are in Heaven with Pop and Gram! And we are hoping you know how honored you are here on Earth! The holidays are upon and we think of all the beautiful touches you added for your family and home. Today so many people will be saying your name, shedding some tears and saying how thankful they are to have had you in their lives as a wife, mother and friend. I personally thank you every day as I walk through my gates and into my home! I am so thankful and blessed to have known you! Thankful for sharing your love with so many!
Thankful for you on Thanksgiving Day!

Precious Deb....
Two years ago today you started your long journey. While it was so difficult for you, your Loved Ones here on Earth are so grateful for the time we had to tell you how much we love you and to ask you to make sure to save a special spot in Heaven for all of us to gather together again. We hold you so close in our hearts and think about you all the time. I am glad for so many great memories and conversations to reflect on each and every day. And while I am rejoicing that you are in Heaven with Pop & Gram, I sure do miss you, my dear sweet friend!
My heart is filled with love for you today.

Blessed!

Dearest Debbie....
Today is Mother's Day. And I am thinking about all your Loved Ones who are missing you so much! You were such a terrific and caring Mom to them. I know you knew that both Bryan and Janna loved you...heart and soul. I hope reflecting on all the wonderful years they had with you brings them some peace and joy today. I am sure I will laugh out loud when I think of all of us in our younger days heading off on a fun packed adventure or just sitting out in the backyard on the trampoline playing the "C, my name is Carol. I come from California and I have a camera" game. Such good times!
I sure do miss you and your beautiful smile! I will send my love up to you and Gram today. And I will say a prayer for your beloved family.
Loving and missing you on Mother's Day!

Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her. Proverbs 31:28
It is such a blessing to see how cherished Deb was in her life on earth. She may have had to fight a hard battle, but she won in every way.
We will all join you soon...

Debbie & Paul on their wedding day

April 2, 2015
Dear Deb.....
Today is April 2nd, your wedding anniversary, and my promise has now been fulfilled. You would have truly loved it! All the plans we made went just right. I found some small white roses and took out just one for Paul, like you said. I taped your signed message inside the card you picked out for him. And on the other side, near the bottom, I put one picture of you and Paul on your wedding day and another of the two of you at Robinson Preserve. I got two white heart shaped balloons and put your picture on one side and Paul's on the other. I tied them to a silver anchor. Everything was just the way we talked about. I wish you were here to see it!
This morning I loaded all the things in my car while I watched the Internal Space Station go overhead at 6:09 AM. Then I headed over to your house. I wanted to get everything in place without Paul seeing me. I had all that stuff in my arms as I went around back to put them in the back yard. It was so dark and then the motion light came on. I was laughing as I knew you would find this all very very funny! I kept on going though. I put everything by your marker near the pergola. I hope Paul finds it this morning!
I wrote an email to Paul, Bryan and Janna to let them know how special this was to you. How much fun it was to have something to giggle about in those final days. How much you wished you could have been here. And that the last thing you told me was to make sure Paul knew you were thinking of him and loved him. He knows that!
I drove out to the cemetery once I left your house early this morning. It was so dark! I placed the rest of those white roses on your own resting spot. I miss you so much.....if you only knew!
So my Dear True Friend.....Good Job! Mission Accomplished! Thanks for including me in your plan! It was a joy to be able to be with you! I hold you in my heart forever!
Happy Anniversary!

My sisters and I have known Debbie and her sister, Dana, since childhood. We grew up next to their Grandpa Richardson's quail farm. Debbie was a sweet girl back then, and her relationship with the Lord just deepened that sweetness. I'm glad that you are out of pain and in a wonderful place, Debbie ~ the world is a little less bright without you here.

Debbie was a sweet and gracious woman of God who not only made flowers bloom with beauty, but also those whose lives she touched. She was a wonderful example of tenderness, joy, compassion and peace.....a great embodiment of the Love of Jesus! Much prayer for you, Paul and the rest of the family.

Debbie and I have been Friends since the 70's - Deb and I worked together for a few years and at that time she introduced me to my loving Husband Joe and was the Maid of Honor in our Wedding 37 Years Ago. She and Paul were our double Date before they were married, we attended the same Church and our children became friends. We were camping partners with the Family and have many stories we shared. Those times were the foundation of our friendship that will always be cherished... but the things I will miss the most about her ... our talks over the phone when I just needed someone to know... we shared joy and sorrow about our children and cherish each moment of her guidance. Debbie was and example to many even though we are sad over her presence being gone... she is with the Heavenly Father and she told me... I am so ready to see Jesus!!! See you Later my sweet friend....My last words to Deb in her home "Here there, or in the Air... I got a thumbs up! love to the Family Joe and Deb Freer
