Even though I was distant related. I knew all of Fred and Violets young-uns. I really like remembering them as we grew up together. I am sorry for all concerned.

I never had the privilege to know Debbie but was a friend of her cousin "Lynn". That is how I knew of her sickness and her brave struggle. Godspeed
