Please accept my heartfelt sympathies on the loss of your loved one. While words cannot completely erase the sorrow felt, I hope you find comfort in knowing that under God's Kingdom on earth, aging and death will no longer happen, as imperfection and bad conditions will be things of the past. (Isaiah 65:17-25.)

Debbie was my first friend when I moved to Jacksonville in 1975. She was also my maid of honor when I married Conrad in 1981 & I was her maid of honor when she married Rick. We had so many wonderful times together & I am so sad I had not talked to her recently. She was a wonderful person & I loved her
