John. I’m so sorry to hear about Deb. What a great loss! Such a kind, beautiful spirit she was and a great hugger, at that!!! She and I met so infrequently but each time she made it seem as if we’d known each other for a lifetime. I so enjoyed hearing her gush about how you two met and seeing her eyes brighten with love for you. Truly, Heaven has reclaimed another Angel, in her. My hope for you is ultimate peace and assurance that you two will met again, one day. God Bless You, John, like I know He does!
