Dan, Craig, Michelle, and Alisha,
I am so very, very sorry for your loss.
,
I cant remember a time in my life when yall were new to meyou were just always around, a regular part of life as a kid, and like Debbie said the last time we talked (at my dads surprise 50th): you guys are family. I just cant remember a time that I havent thought of Debbie and not been able to hear her signature laugh.
Words simply cant express what the world has lost with Debbies passing, but I hope you can find comfort and peace in knowing that she will truly live on forever in the hearts of the countless people she touched with her kind, fun-loving spirit and that infectious laugh!
Please know that youre all in my thoughts and prayers.
