This post was created in 2015 but never posted.  Here it is as we approach her homecoming day.

Beth blessed us by putting Debbie's video on on Prayer that was made at East Heights a few years ago.  She has an amazing faith...but she also has an amazing God.  This continues to bless me. Click on Deb's picture to watch the video or go http://vimeo.com/44385408

Coming into today, I thought that it would be an easy day, I am home from traveling, back to the grind at work, back to the schedule.  The day started out fine, a brisk spring morning, then it seemed as if a cloud came across my path.  I do miss all the things we used to do together, the projects she would always have, her never sit down and rest attitude.  While I'm doing fine by myself, it's certainly not the same.  She was the greatest gift of my life and that gift blessed me with two more in my two girls, and the blessing has continued.  I see Deb in each of my girls and that brings a lot of joy.  As different as they are, each possesses so many of the extraordinary qualities of their mother. I thank my God and Father and best friend for Debbie.  I can't wait to see her again.  Life is full, life is good.
