Debbie, Lord willing we will be able to sing "Sheila" and all those 45s we played and you gave me. You finally are able to see Kim.

Thank you to Tammy and Amber for your kindness and caring the night Debbie passed away.

Also, thank you Sandi and Kimi for caring and listening to me, while I tried to put the pieces together of that night - not to mention the distractions when I feeling down.

"See you on the other side."
