    One of the best moments I can remember was when I first saw you with your daughter shortly after she was born. You were so proud and loved “that precious one” that it just radiated in your eyes. You had to have been one of God’s special people to have done some of the things in your life that you have done. I never knew a more giving person. You will be missed by all that knew you. Love, Betty

  28. Walt & Bev,Debbie is at Peace now with Our Lord. I look back
    on one of our Reunions and I noticed Debbie was so quiet,,,and
    It impressed me,to Be more still in my struggles, to be quiet ..
    she was polite and funny, we use to spend nights now &
    then at grandma’s. We would ride our bikes to Brickside Park .
    I would go and visit her when she live in Indpls. we would
    play cards..& listen to Country music. Debbie was a good girl…
    I enjoyed meeting her with Aunt Bev for dinner when I came to town.
    I love her and will miss her…I know she is in Heaven now.
    God Bless you Beverly & Walt
    Love Brenda
