Mom, Not a day goes by that I want to call you and tell you about something. I think of you so many times and I miss you more than words can say. You were the BEST and I am so blessed to have you for My Mom.. I know I will see you again but until then I miss you so much each day that goes by puts me one day closer to you. So many things have changed as life goes on. Jill got married Wow I know your spirit was there. I can feel your present many times but I can also feel Squeak is always around... Believe me when I say there is no mistake when he wants to see something done he still has his ways.. Mom so many moons have past since you have left. So many things I wanted to say You left way to fast. Until that day I can say I Love You and Miss You.. ( your oldest Deborah )

To the Dewitt Family -
I was extremely saddened to hear of Joann's passing. She and Squeak were also a big part of my family growing up and I always considered them an extension of our family. We had to be careful when Squeak and Blackie got together...thank goodness we had Joann and my mom (Pat) to reign them in! Or try anyway.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
