I've searched for a year for the words to describe how much you ment to me. They never came. There aren't enough words in this world to even began to cover the impact you had on my life. You were one of the best friends I ever had. You were and still are my favorite aunt. You were everything I needed you to be. You never turned me away when I needed help and even though I know you hated you, you always watched Halloween with me, even if it was Christmas. I'm sad that my future children will never know their awesome aunt Debbie. I'm hurt that you're gone when I need you the most in my life right now. I can only hope that you are looking down on me and that your spirit helps me deal with life. I can only dream of being an aunt to Stevie, Kingston and Landon like you were to all of us. I love you and I miss you...

I was sad to hear about Aunt Debbie's passing. Even though we feel sadness and mourn her loss, I know they are celebrating in heaven! My mom would tell me stories about how they had so much fun together when they were younger. She was a sweet and wonderful lady & I know everyone will miss her!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
