Debbie, I’ll always think of eating witches for breakfast and Dora the explorer when I think of you. The thoughts will bring a smile. You will be missed.
I will miss our conversation on grandkids and our lives. She was a true friend and indeed an outstanding artist and painter. But most of all she was my friend. Miss you Deb ❤️
