To Debbie, I remember so well the years we hung out together, and how many times your mom called from work to check on you guys or you called her to referee a home situation. I remember the time Robert ate crackers that had suffered a particular dousing, and the times we stayed up way too late giggling and talking. I remember those times fondly, and was so very glad to be part of your circle of friends during our childhood. I am sorry for the loss of your mom. Perhaps she and my mom are looking down on us and remembering also. Love, Nona
