I am so sorry for your loss. Debbie was a very sweet and loving person. She will be missed by all. Just remember she has a new body now and is not suffering anymore. Also, God does not put more on you than you can bear. If I can be of any assistance to any of the family, feel free to call me. I will keep you all in my prayers and God be with you through this trying time.
Sincerely, Beverly Harris
