I have known Deborah for 2 years on an online message board and quickly became good friends. She and I were almost inseparable, even nearly 2,000 miles apart of living afar. She either would call me via landline or by cellphone and it was always so interesting to hear her wonderful stories. I met in person 9 months after meeting her online and then 6 months later, she drove the nearly 2,000 miles up here to Southern California to visit me. It was so wonderful and a memorable one too. I will forever cherish those wonderful memories. Rest in peace my dear friend.

I am Deborah's friend from Southern California and I would like to let others know out there that we have been good friends for 2 years and that we were almost like sisters. We would spend many hours online chatting and sending each other e-mails. Not only did we do this, but we also got to meet each other in person. The first time I met Deborah in person was only 9 months after and we both had a great time together. She took me to the French Quarter upon my arrival and took me to dinner out there at a Cajun restaurant. Then she took me shopping and bought me a couple of beaded necklaces which is right now, hanging above my computer. And not long after my visit, she sent me a gift in the mail and when I opened it, it was the most beautiful gift she has sent me. It was a colorful beaded necklace with birds and I have it hanging behind me on the far wall.



Then not long after my visit to Deborah, she drove up to visit me here in Southern California and as a matter of fact, it was the week of my birthday and another friend of mine had given me a party and Deborah attended and she had a real blast.



I took Deborah to the Museumn of Tolerance and to the Farmer's Market in Los Angeles. I also took her to other places too and she really enjoyed herself alot. Deborah's visit to me will always be remembered.



What I admired in Deborah was her sweet and kind heart. Not only that, but she was highly intelligent as well and she was good with needlework. One of her favorite passion was crocheting and she had given me one of her projects and it was Mardi Gras masqerade and it was done in many different colors.



I remained in contact with Deborah until she left this earth and I am really going to miss her alot. But I know that she is in a place where she is now with the angels.

Every now and then in life we meet a real angel, and that's what I had in her. She was the kindest person to meet, we had some beautiful and sometimes hallarious times. I'm glad she's no longer in pain. Forever my love Mrs. Blackburn.
