I am so sorry to hear of Cousin Debbie's passing!! I ran into her at the fabric store. She was getting fabric to back a bear skin rug that she was working on. I reached out to her many times after that but to no avail. Our family is shrinking. All of them Aunts and Uncles are mostly gone now, leaving just us cousins. Please reach out so we can keep in touch!!! 757-714-5093

So sorry to read of Debbie’s passing. Although we have never kept in touch, we lived in Thalia, attended school together from 5th grade to graduation, and were in the same Girl Scout Troop for many years. Even after all these years, I still see the same friendly face I remember. And I’m delighted to read of her artistry & wildlife concerns. My sincere condolences to all your family.
