Bob, My Nieces and Nephew and Families,
My heart is truly broken in a way I never realized possible. I do take comfort and thank you Bob for loving my sister as much as you did. Though she was taken away from us way too young, you gave her a rich and full life that never would have been possible with anyone but you, and through everything, you made her smile! I'm so lucky to have a brother-in-law like you. Kids, I share in your grief but through our families tight bond and traditions have to believe that somehow Debbie will help us heal. I am always there for every one of you! By the way Suppy, I'm still waiting for my very own personal sign. You are forever in my heart big sister!
