Bill, my thoughts are with you and the family at the loss of Debbie. May the memories you hold dear in your heart sustain in the upcoming days and years to come.

Dear Ones, You are all in the thoughts and hearts of many at this time. Please know that. I would like to share something that my daddy taught me years ago. He said that as long as the happy memories of our loved ones are close in our heart, they can never really leave us. I have tested this many times over the years and found it to be true. I am sure you all have many happy memories of Debbie. Share them with each other. Laugh, cry and remember. It will keep Debbie close. Grief never ends… but it changes. It is a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness nor a lack of faith. It is the price of love. Cherish the memory of Debbie and do what she would want. Smile, open your heart, love and go on. Prayers for strength are coming your way.
