    I am so sorry for your loss, Debbie was a beautiful caring lady , I will miss her dearly. she is at peace now .
    May god bless you all.

  • To all the family and Debbie’s many friends and admirers: probably the hardest thing now that you have undergone the painful loss of someone close to you is to move forward and not obsess upon the pointlessness of life when everyone you’ll ever love will at sometime be snatched away from you by the ugly DEATH. When my mom died, she was suffering so; her body was giving out on her more each day. After her death I felt as though life was like a card game, with my lousy hand being topped off by the worst possible thing – the chest-breaking (felt more like that to me than heart-breaking) pain and anguish of my mother existing no longer. She was GONE, but the trivial world kept spinning and hardly anyone even noticed. Hang on, though; believe it or not, your feelings will “soften” and you’ll find it easier to think of the good times you had. Bless, bless, one and all. May the goddess keep her loving eye on you all.
