Ruth,
We are so sorry for youre loss, Debbie was full of life, she had a beautiful smile, she was always smiling, I remember when she first met the kids, I think my son was a baby, her eye just was so bright and her smile got bigger, she played with my son for hours, ( thought she wasn’t going to give him back) she had a wonderful, loveing, heart, we will miss her, but we know she is with Roger, and popa. They all are having a party up their, waiting for us, when God is ready for us. Love you guys.

Sandy, Ruth, and family, I was so shocked to learn of Deb’s passing. Especially so soon after Roger’s passing. But I know God had big plans for Deb. She’s free from all earthly bonds and walking with no help. I’m sure she’s keeping Roger in line too! My love to all of you at your time of such sorrow.
