Deb is my sister. The "oldest" of six sisters and three brothers. I will miss her so very much. Our family will not be complete without her; however, I do understand that she is in a much better place and I will see her again one day. Hallelujah! Love, Mariana
ReplyDelete•What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
