Dear Peter, Edwin, Nolan, and Marilyn and family,
My heart is broken at Debbie's passing and my thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time. I thank God for Debbie and she will always be in my heart. She was the best step-mother I could have asked for. And although life changed, my love for her did not. See you all soon.
