Dear Dan and family, We have lost a wonderful friend. I have fond memories of Ron and I spending MLK weekends with you and Deb watching eagles in Grafton. I often saw Deb at Millstadt school picnics and parades. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Aunt Debbie leaves a huge hole in our family and in my heart. For the last several months exchanging daily silly jokes was a delightful way to start my day with a smile. She always made me smile. She was kind and funny and sometimes a little crazy, just like me. Last couple years I crashed the sister-in-laws monthly lunch when I was visiting. Best memories and laughs ever. I am so sad that I will not be there to share stories and hugs at this difficult time. Know you are all in my heart and in my prayers. Recently while I was searching for things to send Aunt Debbie I saved this quote...seems only too appropriate now. "Why do we close our eyes when we pray, cry, kiss or dream? Because the most beautiful things in life are not seen but felt by the heart."
