Debra and I have been BFF & SISTERS for over 40 years plus. Although I am still in shock over her death, I am so glad for all of the memories we made and shared together. It hit me hard the other day when I picked up the telephone to call you and realized you are no longer with us. We were forever calling each other. Oh, I'm going to miss our many telephone calls, eating, going on trips, clowning around, helping each other out, etc. I could call on you & you could call on me. We were there for each other thru the good, bad & ugly. You're my kids auntie & I'm your kids auntie. Debra I am going to miss you so much, but I do have my memories. Know that I love you & you'll always be in my heart. Rest on my Best Friend Forever/Sister.
