Us doing a fundraiser for the pantry!  Couple elf’s helping Santa! 

She was a good hearted lady that could switch on a dime if she needed to. She was so proud of herself when she bought her motorcycle and learned to ride it!

Mom you will always be with me and in my heart. You were a great woman and always did everything you could for others....

I can still remember the day I met Debra , I was working for the city of Hartford and she had called because she found a dog and me being me I took the dog and found the owner . We talked and it was like we knew each other forever she had moved here from Salem Oregon and I had just moved here from Washington state so we had lots to talk about . Then we both started helping out at the food pantry giving help to people in need with our friend Christina Holmes. We were a power team. Helping others . One day the opportunity came for me to buy a business from Keith , I had got ahold of miss Debbie and we decided yep we can do this and help our community and  we have been best friends  ever since!  We have laughed and we have cried but we always knew we had each other’s back!   I  can say that she is and will always have a footprint in my heart! I will miss her each and every day!   Till we meet again my dear friend! I love you! 

Her smile and laugh were infectious.
Her compassion towards humans and animals in need is an inspiration to all.
We enjoyed our weekly visits with Deb at the restaurant and at the grocery store. How we miss and will continue to miss her. Our talks about Pitbulls and Parolees each week and yes,  those lazy politicians.
Last Christmas was memorable one. She wore an  elf costume and her pigtails hung  down. She smiled and dancing around, what a wonderful sight and time.. While the world shook in fear, we celebrated and enjoyed  each other's company.
And old Lakota saying goes like this, "Our loves ones remain with us as we tell others about them. How they lived and share our memories of them.
As long as their memories are passed around the campfires, our loved one remains with us and in us...for as long as the grass grows and the horses run free, so too will our love one remain."
When God created Deb, he broke the mold.
Rest in peace, Deb, you earned it.
