I am so sorry to hear of your loss of Debbie. Though we rejoice knowing that she is with our LORD Jesus, it breaks our hearts to lose someone we love so dearly. May you be comforted in the loving embrace of our Heavenly Father.

In Christ,

Now is the time for Ezra to take care of his mom like she took care of him. I am sure the two of them are back to being inseparable, and are continuing on the journey that God has planned for them.

Dear Ed family,
Though the death of such a dearest loved one may seem so hard and difficult to take at times, just remember that everyone has there time. This time on earth is so very short compared to that of which is in heaven. God says it dissapears as quick as a vapor. Just remember that she is now with her son, no longer in pain and they, together, are now in their Creators presence, what a blessing that truely is. Sometimes we do not know why things have to happen, and we do not have the answer to everything but if we did know the answer to everything, Faith would know longer exist. There would be no good without what seems to be the bad.

Mark, Manny and Eli,
I was so sorry to hear about Debbie. Tony and I moved to Philadelphia in September, and I didn't know Debbie was ill. She was a wonderful lady and mother, and the friendship that she and I developed when Ezra was in our lives is very special to me and I will never forget that. I am so sorry that I will be unable to attend, but Amanda will be there because Debbie meant alot to her also. I pray for our special Ezra everyday, and will now pray for Debbie too. Take comfort in the fact that they are now together in heaven and at peace. There memories will never be forgotten.
