First of all, I hope all the memories that you all shared with your mom, and as a family, help you guide you through this difficult journey and help you on the path that is very different from the one you all knew. We all had great memories with your mom. we are blessed beyond measures, to have so many memories of a wonderful daughter, husband, three beautiful daughters, three brothers, that probably picked on her!! a mom, Granny, sister-in law, my sister from another mother, and friend, and family.
Deb you will be loved and missed forever. we will see you again on the other side someday, so for now you and Tony have lots of laughs, and tell him all the crazy stories, and how much he is missed by so many. Especially his daughter, grandson Tristan and granddaughter Charllotte "AKA Charlie" Tony you would have been the best grandfather, pops, grandpa, Grampy etc... so until we meet again take those beautiful wings sore as high as the sky will take you both.
Love and miss you Deb to infinity and beyond!
xoxo
