  5. Deb… such a soft kind soul you have always had.
    Getting lost in Babylon with you Karen ,your baby brother Michael , Donna & myself . On an Adventure for the day ..which turned into the night. Candy bar split up was not enough to keep us from being hungry. It got very dark was ..we were scared and couldn’t find our way …we somehow managed to get a woman to let us use her phone to call my house. We got into BIG trouble !
    I do believe you carried Michael for hours. You were so nurturing and loving ! 🥰 I can’t recall all the details. Your soft spoken words were so sweet…it made me feel a little safer. Thank you for that!
    Thank you for calling and Christmas cards exchanged. For beautiful quilts you made for my grandkids.
    Most of all for being a beautiful human… you are missed already. Rest easy ~
    Sending love 💗 and hugs to Marty , Johanna and family as well as Katie , Pete & family

  6. Debbie,
    I was just thinking about how much we were both into music and swapped albums and cd’s for a time, I borrowed your Melanie stuff and you borrowed something that I can’t even remember anymore. I remember when our parents were bragging about you and I bc we both learned how to play instruments by ear! They sure were proud😂…I sure hope you’re enjoying a cuppa tea with them, as we shared many cups when we were both in Florida with our folks. Thanks again for the beautiful quilt you made for my granddaughter after she was born, and pls know that it is in storage somewhere in NY. It was so incredibly thoughtful of you, and it meant a great deal to us. Pls know that all of my memories of you are good, fun, sweet….im glad we got to chat the other day, and i know that you’re sitting at the right hand of God as i write this. We will celebrate you this evening, me, Linda, Steve, and Jay. Blessings to your family and friends, hugs abound to your children and grandchildren…. Love you cuz, rest easy in the arms of our Lord….😘

  7. Sweet Cousin Deborah, I am so grateful that we were reunited after so many years! I remember when Grandma Sarah used to take me to visit your mom, my Aunt Barbara, we would play together all weekend. I loved the funny story you told me about you, me & the quarter…I love all the pictures you sent to me of your family. I will miss you and our “check in” phone calls. You were/are an intelligent, beautiful, kind and loving soul. Until we meet again I will hold you close in my heart.

  8. To the children and siblings of my sweet, nurturing, creative cousin Deb, my heart goes out to all of you. I spent time with her as children she and her family lived with us for a short time . Then as we got older I would walk to Cranberry St in C.I. and we would walk to the community center and play Knock hockey. We lost touch for awhile while raising our children but, we would get together as often as we could. Then we met up again in Maine and caught up with each other. Spoke on the phone from time to time just to catch up. I will say she was creative as hell, quilting, jewelry making, musically, and had a heart of gold. If she had and you needed it, it was yours. I will miss her always and will carry her in my heart.

  9. Due to the circumstances under which I grew up, I unfortunately never knew my sister well. But I will always remember her as a very kind and caring person that was loving and accepting of me in spite of our circumstances.

  11. May the four winds blow you safely home. It’s always sad to lose a family member regardless of the time spent together. Although that was the case with us, I always remembered you as a sweet, kind caring cousin. Say hey to everyone up there for me and look forward to meeting up again
