Oh, my Dear Cousin Debbie, how we will rejoice when reunited in His kingdom one day!!! You were my big sister and Claudine's extra daughter, spending your childhood summers with us. Mom sewed matching wardrobes for our Barbies. I wore your hand-me-downs for twelve years and thought they were princess clothes! The morning of my first wedding you called to give me a Big Sister talk. When that marriage failed, you opened your home and heart, offering a shoulder on which to cry. More than blood, we were united in our faith in Christ!!! I miss you and will love you forever!!! Mary Ellen

Thankful for many beautiful memories from our teenage years. Even more thankful for our many recent lunch gatherings, (usually YOUR choice) where we critiqued the fare, reminisced, and laughed until our sides split! You remain at the top of my CLASS list, Deb!!! I mourn with your family and friends while rejoicing that you no longer suffer! See you again some sweet day!
