Deb and Jim you are in our thoughts and prayers. When this happens quickly as it did, it is hard on the ones left behind, but in time I know you will be just fine, just remember the great memories you have had with her, some of us never get that chance. She was a great lady and loved you very much.
God Bless and watch over you,
Mark and Maxine
