Deb and I met when we were just small preschoolers. We lived across the street from each other at 207 Wildwood Ave. I lived right next door to her grandfather. I moved when I was young and we lost touch. Many years later we reconnected and never missed a beat! I watched the girls grow and have children and families of their own. Enjoyed many fun times at their home on Wildwood Avenue. I have also spent many many Christmases with her in Delaware. We pulled many all nighter‘s here on my porch, waiting for the good old are used to come on and sometimes they didn’t start coming on till 1 AM! That was a great story. Tell her she could tell jokes with the best of them! When she was down, I would call my friend James, who lives in Texas and get on a three-way call with her. Deb could tell jokes, but Jim could tell them better faster longer! He made her laugh, and sometimes that was all I wanted to do . I am so grateful for many many many years was shared. Cared cried argued made up, created, picked out and yes, he even shared a beer here and they are along the way. Although I am a non-drinker, I could have a brew with my Deb once in a while, as long as she put it in the freezer for me first! I appreciate how she included me over the years when the babies were small. I was always welcome at the girls homes for gatherings, and I always enjoyed being around them. We talked almost daily, and I think that is one of the hardest things right now. Many things pass through my heart and my mind that I am used to sharing with her. Now I just talk with her out loud and thank the girls in my heart every day for making me feel so loved, cared and shared with through this hard ache and challenging time. I love you my dad. Bill and I are missing you very very much. He loved his aunt Deb and we are comforted by knowing she is not hurting or sad anymore, but sleeping with the angels. God bless.
Please forgive any imperfections. I dictate my messages and my phone has a mind of its own. Of course that is not supposed to say dad. It is supposed to say Deb! But I have re-done this three times and I just can’t get it right thank you.
