Debbie,,, Today is your Birthday. I was just a little gangster growing up, not realizing how much you contributed with hard, hard work to keep us all going as you were the eldest. I didn´t want your birthday to pass without reminding you how much your missed and loved. There´s no more tears and no more sorrow when Jesus took you home. We love you and miss you dearly. Thank you for all your hard work and sacrifices. Your family, My Sister, My Friend. Teri Attea and Family
