Laurie, Mike and Janelle, I am so so sorry for the loss of Debi. My heart breaks for all of you including your mom. I know how hard it is to lose a sibling and for a mother to put to rest her own child. I think of you all daily. Sending loving thoughts to you all. I am glad I was able to see her and enjoy her company at the reunion of the decades a few years back. We had so much fun and made lots of great memories.
