God bless you Debra and your family at this time of loss. I pray you will as always be strong. Continue in your path of big sister, mother, grandmother and friend to all you know. You have truly been blessed. God got you when you think no one knows how you feel. Being the care giver of your family is no small task. At the end of the day you can look back and say I did my best. You all stay strong and hopeful. I’m very sorry for your loss. I love you and your children. Tell your brother I still remember him. God truly blessed him.
