OMG...so many childhood memories as little kids. I remember always as a child going to Johnstown with my Uncle Sonny Debbie's biological Father and her Brother Eddie. We'd take the train from Hudson to Amsterdam and get picked up by Uncle Guy and Aunt Topsie and we'd all head to the camp in Caroga Lake. We'd play and have so much fun, I never wanted to leave. We'd always go to the fair. Rest in peace Debbie, You were one of my favorite playmates. Love to your husband's family for loving you. Sleep in peace beautiful. Love your cousin, Judy
