Thank God for you my friend for the days you made me laugh and see the bright side of life. All though we did not see each other much these last few years I miss you now and wished I had made time but hind sight has always been 20/20 vision. Know that I remember time spent and I still get a good laugh. So long my friend until we meet again on the shores of Heaven, tell Jesus I said thanks for allowing me to share you.

To my aunt who I will truly miss. All my memories of you are of you happy and smiling. I'm so glad you got the chance to meet my little one. Holidays won't be the same without your presence but I am so happy that you are at peace and don't have to suffer anymore. I love you.
How you can show support

To Sister Debbie with Love
She left this world with dignity and grace
In our hearts she'll always have a place
As we wipe our weary eyes
There's comfort in knowing she was baptized
Today we smile though it hurts so bad
Today we look back on memories we forgot we had
We can laugh about things we did back in the day.
Knowing her loving spirit is with us even today
At times we may cry through the night
Her loving memories we do hold tight
We ask why she had to endure so many test
Know that the Lord above always knows what's best
Seams just yesterday she was in her prime.
Her spirit will be with us through good and bad times
She feels no more sorrow and no more pain
Our loss is heavens precious gain
When you see Momma Mac tell her we too are on our way
Tell her we look forward to seeing her again one day
My dear sister you're suffering here is done
So run around heaven and have lots of fun
It hurts deep down inside trying to find the words to say goodbye
She has earned her wings and now she can fly

To my sister-friend Deb,
Thank you for inviting me over (in the 1970's) to listen to your new 8 tracks when you would get them in the mail. I remember your great voice and how you would sing along with Rufus and Chaka Khan. You were truly unsung!
Thank you my friend for helping me get back to nature by accompanying me when I was stressed on my nature adventures hiking at Old Man's Cave and the Ohio Caverns.I remember you saying to me Cathy! I didn't know that we would be 103ft. underground, this is beautiful!
Thank you my friend for help making my 50th birthday special by attending the MANHATTAN TRANSFER concert with me on Sunday evening at the Palace theater on May 22nd 2004.I remember the look on your face when they began singing A Cappella, and then you joined in. I am truly going to miss you and our heart to heart talks about this world and life in general. 44 years of friendship speaks volumes. Love, Peace and Grace to the Family

I cannot believe I am even signing this, she was more then a friend to me, she was the big sister I never had. I keep telling myself that this is some twisted dream, but then reality sinks in that she gone, really gone. I am mad at myself because I got so busy with life, that I didn't get to see you as often as I would have liked to but you know I have always loved you as my sister and friend, Our friendship started back in 1973, not even death can brake the bond and love that we shared. Mack you already know ONE LOVE FOREVER!

My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time.
With love always, Tina Martin
