Joey, Dylan and Jesse,
We are very sorry to hear of the passing of Debbie. As you are well aware, she was a very beautiful person and there are no others like her in the world. We will all miss her so very much. Our prayers are with you all in this time of mourning.

Joey, I'm not a real personable type of person. But, I have always held you and your family close at heart. I knew Debbie as a kind, sensitive, loving and pure human being. Know that there are many people whose hearts are aching for you and the boys. I know you are strong and above that, an unexplained extra measure of strength is given to you in times of need. If you need anything, know that you can call on me.

We are so sorry for your loss. I have been neighbors with the Britt Family for almost 15 years and our children have played together and grown together. I am so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I am so sorry about Debbie, she's a wonderful person, I know that I am using present tense because she is still here. Dylan and Jesse, I ampanfully sorry about it, but you know, she is a nice, beautiful, and warm hearted person that no one wants to lose, but when you give up faith that she's not with you, then she won't. So pray to God every night and tell him to say Hi to your mom. And Joe, I hope that you will always know that I have always thought of her as a second mom, because in a way, we all have a little bit of Debbie in us. I love her so much and it's hard to say she's gone, so you kno what? I'm not going to, because she's always in my heart, and everyone else's, too. It may seem like your lives will never be the same, and it's okay to cry, but you know, she's in a better place, and every time you look at the sky, and see a bright, beautiful, shining star, you say, "Hi, I love and miss you", because thats her, watching over you.
