Hey Debby, say hi to your mom and dad and look for my black Lab, Amos...he's a good one.  Farewell cousin.

All that we see, All that we are, all that we would become is found in the loves that we would share.

I have run in the rivers of this world among the fishes.
I have traveled the wilderness and seen through the eyes of the wolf.
I have soared through the skies on the wings of the eagle.
I have felt the warmth of the moon and the stars upon my sole.
I have sailed with the music in the winds of Mariah.
I have found none there that would not become my friend.

Rest well old friend.

Random thoughts on life
It's funny how the chapters of life are written. Several chapters are being written simultaneously. One chapter not yet complete before a new one begins. Some chapters are short while others seem to run the length of a lifetime. As individuals we touch so many lives, sometimes without even realizing we have made an impact in another's life at all. When the end of a book of life comes how others handle it is quite different. Some feel as if that person left them. Some see it as a wonderful transition into a greater existence. To me I have always known that death is part of life. Like Yin and Yang there cannot be one without the other. Grieving is not for those who have moved on but for those of us left here to continue living. And that is what we must do â€¦ continue living! The words on the pages of our lives continue until the time when the life force within ceases to exist. 
In my lifetime, many books have been closed and put on the shelf. Maybe that is why I think differently about the end. Life is precious and we all should live and be happy. No two books are the same. There are infinite possibilities in this world and only I can write my story. I cannot write the story for another. 
As we watch a book coming to a close we begin to reflect on our own story. I should have done this or that. Maybe we should start doing this. There is no time for regrets. If you want to do something â€¦ do it! Don't wait until the end to live. Be adventurous and write those chapters in your book now.

To my sister , my friend, the person I always thought was the strong one. Because she lived life her way. I love you. We will always be connected with our hearts.
May the choir of angels watch over you as you sleep, may God always in his arms keep.

I worked with Debby for several years and I can honestly say that she was one of the finest people I've known.   I will never forget her laugh and smile since they were more often present on her lovely face than not.  I always felt that Debby would never betray a confidence making her one of the few people I can honestly say I trusted.  I lost contact when I moved from the area but I never forgot her.  I will remember her with a smile and be proud that I knew her even if it was only for a very short time.

memories of debby (momma) will always be in all of our hearts everyone one that she had touched and met she always took under her wing and treated us all like we were her children and the children you had as her grandchildren... she will be deeply missed and loved.... rest in peace momma skies are smiling with you in heaven seeing you no longer in pain but now able to watch us all grow.... love ya always Mikey

My best memory of Debby was when she spent some time in the summer with my sister, her cousin, Debbie McLelland Rossiter. They were the same age and had a close bond in those pre-teen and early teen days. We were not able to live close by and years just go so fast, but Debbie and I were lucky enough to make a trip to Las Vegas before Debby's mom and dad passed. We met and visited with all of our family there. Cherished time. I grieve for her along with her family, but know she is free from pain and enjoying her mom and dad. love to the family,
