Still missing you, still in love with you. Thankyou, rest now and I’ll be seeing you again. Love Thomas 

I know its been a while since you passed on, but I'm finally able to write here. Things haven't been easy and they never will be. I miss you so much. I knew losing you would hurt, I just wasn't prepared for how hard it would hit me. I keep waiting for you to  walk through the door with your warm smile greeting me. Birthdays and holidays have passed. The very family-oriented holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up soon and I can say without a doubt that I'm not ready for them. I miss hearing you laugh and feeling your presence anywhere we went. It would always calm me.
I really wish you could've met your great granddaughter Luna. Everytime I look at her, I think of how much you would've loved her and my heart shatters at the thought that you don't get to ever meet her, hold her, speak to her and give her all of the love I know you can give. But I know that you're watching all of us, especially Luna. So many different things remind me of you. As sad as it makes me, it also makes me happy because behind those sad thoughts are also cherished memories I have of you that I will never forget. I love you forever and always. ❤

Love your first granddaughter Torina aka Natchin ❤

Debbie was always so much fun and when Tom and Debbie came to visit every year we had a blast. Cannot believe she is gone. I wish, wish, wish we could have come out to see her one more time. Cancer may have physically taken her away, but her spirit will always remain. I wish she was able to meet my new 3 grandsons. Lorena and family, her Love for you was FIERCE! She was so proud of you all. She had the love of her life Thomas by her side and they were inseparable. She loved all God's little creatures and was a champion for the underdog. I will miss you Debbie you made this world a better place.

I remember the first time I met Debbie I was 17 , she must  have been 22. She was outspoken , opinionated, funny—so comfortable  in her own skin. She was totally herself and remained that way throughout her life— something you can’t say about everyone. She was honest with you and herself . Debbie was a lover of music,  she knew all the artists and all the lyrics to every song. Our family got to see her and my brother 1 week every year, which is  not a lot of time . . We tried to squeeze so much in that we sometimes would fight over them because the time was so limited and valuable.  I wish we all had more time, there is never enough time. We will miss your hearty laugh but  your spirit lives on with all the lives you touched while you were here. Love you Debbie, we will see you again. 

I was a teenager still when I met Debbie for the first time.  Tommy (my brother) was bringing her to meet the "family".    Upon  meeting her I immediately thought,  WOW !  Is she for real ?  She had so much energy,  and transmitted some serious -  feel good vibes, and clearly knew how to have a good time !  : )  She was a "take me or leave me" kinda gal.  Anyone could see how in love she was with my brother.   Honestly, I felt that they balanced each other -she truly was the yang to his yin.   I like to think that Debbie and I understood each other as well, because intrinsically we both felt the same in this sense ,  In your circle of friends,  you don't need too many people to make you happy, just a few real ones who appreciate you for who you really are  - and I did !

You were the funniest, kindest, most loving grandma anyone could ask for. And it breaks my heart to see you pass so suddenly.

My favorite memory is you singing Billie Holiday's "Crazy He Calls Me" while it played on Fallout 3. It makes me cry anytime I hear that song because it reminds me of you.

I wish we could've made more memories before you passed and I regret not watching more movies with you.

I love you so much and I'm going to miss you.
Rest easy Neno.

Love your grandson, Syruss

Neno loved her music and songs moved her heart. The last song we listened together was Edith Piaf 1945 “La Vie En Rose”, original version in French. The English translation is provided, true artists should listen to the song in French simultaneously. Thank you 
La Vie En Rose:  “Eyes that gaze into mine, a smile that is lost on his lips. That is the unretouched portrait of the man to whom I belong. When he takes me in his arms and speaks softly to me. I see life in rosy hues. He tells me words of love, words of everyday. And in them I become something. He has entered my heart a part of happiness. Whereof I understand the reason. It’s he for me and I for him, throughout life. He has told me, he has sworn to me, for life. And from the things that I sense, now I can feel within me. My heart that beats. 

To Neno
     There were times that we may have not seen eye to eye and may have disagreements, but I never took that as a bad thing. I knew that your daughter, my wife, was the most important thing to you. I knew that you wanted to make sure she was gonna be okay. For that I loved and respected you. A mothers love is something that is not only important to Lorena but also to me. Because of your love for her that has made me more confident that the love will carry over to our daughters and sons. We will all miss you but I will miss you more than I even knew. Your laugh, your high spirit and your love of family will be with me for the rest of my life. You are no longer with us but I can assure you that you will never be forgotten. Love you and miss you.

Dearest Neno,

You were one of the most loving and funniest people in my life, and I’m so sad to see you go so soon. I’m going to miss seeing you smile, hearing you laugh, and generally just having a great time hanging out with the family, you bringing our dogs treats (even when they’ve been chewing up the house), and playing Scrabble with grandpa, mom, and dad.

My fondest memories with you are laying in your bed watching tv, and you would have me lay right next to you while you lightly tickled my back until I was close to falling asleep. I thought of this everyday, even before your passing. I'm so glad that I got to spend countless nights with you and grandpa, watching movies and eating ice cream, and being happy together.

Even with these memories, I’m distraught that we won’t be able to create more. It hurts to think of it that way, but I will always remember you and how you've impacted our lives. Thank you for everything, and thank you for staying strong for so long so we could be there to hold your hand and comfort you in your final days.

I will always miss you and I will always think of you, and I know everyone else will too.

Love your granddaughter, Cierra ♡

Debra Mary Rogers, born July 31 1958 in Bremerton Washington. A true Bremertonian, a Leo and all it represents in the Chinese lunar Year of the Dog. Deceased January 22 2021, Bremerton.
Her father Lorne Richard Hooper (daddy’s girl) and loving mother Peggy Lee Hooper (both passed). Devoted Sister to Billie, Ricky, Karen and Randy.  Mother to her adored daughter Lorena Lee Hooper Kinard. Beloved wife of husband Thomas. Grandmother to Torina, Cierra, Syruss, Sophie and Evan. Extended family Linard Kinard, Billy Burch and all the in-laws in Connecticut. Future great gandma to Luna Mary Burch. 
We called her Neno, she was a warrior who fought to the last breath in her being. She loved all of us unconditionally and set the example by her words and actions. She will be sadly missed, but we’ll carry her in our hearts forever. Her killer was cancer and the misery he brought unto our family with her loss is devastating. Cherish those who are dear to you, hug them, kiss them, and let them know they are loved. Rest easy Neno, until we meet again.

Gone are good times, heated debates, and hardy laughs. All that's left is the memories of those things that we often take for granted. Our time is never guaranteed, I'm glad we frequently got to hang out and are so connected as a unit (circle of trust). I will think of you always with love and a tight chest knowing a piece of me will forever be missing.

All my ♡
All my life
Your one and only
Lorena

1981 I met my wife, 2 months later I married her. I became a husband and father on the same day. I was young and selfish and not prepared to lead a family. My wife formed a partnership with love and respect and we became a family. We made mistakes and struggled and shared good and bad times. Our love was our strength and as all people do we tried to make a better life. We were happy and loved our lives, but we were mortal and our bodies were frail. Now the best 40 years of my life have passed and all I have are memories and photos. My wife gave me joy and the gifts of life that others pray for. God blessed me with his angel I just wanted her for a little while longer. I am thankful for her gracing me with her love. All my Love your husband Thomas
