It’s 4PM ON MARCH 23rd, and the calling hours for Debbie are just beginning. I’m 1,200 miles away, but in my minds eye, I see lines of heartbroken friends and family waiting patiently to get inside to say good bye. I see this because I got to know Debbie a few years before we moved to Florida. It didn’t take long for everyone she met to know they were with a very special lady. I’ll never forget the beautiful smile that was the window into a beautiful soul. Genuine, generous, caring, and loving all on the inside, drawn to her by the beautiful face and infectious smile. She’ll always be a source of wonderful memories. I know how lucky I am to have Debbie touch my life, and now in my heart.
