Lewis,

I know you were Debbie's soul mate. I am so glad God let you have the time you had together. You will always be a part of our family and in our hearts forever. I just try to remember the good times and her laughter. You brought her a lot of joy with your great sense of humour. We love you both so.

Lewis, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Deb was a true friend and co-worker. We met when I started with the Commission back when it was the Texas Employment Commission. God has indeed picked one of the prettiest flowers to adorn his beloved heaven. Rejoice because she is indeed in a better place. May God bless you and keep you.
