Caroline & Brittany my deepest sympathy and condolences . A lot of us know the pain and sorrow of loosing a parent , we can take comfort in knowing they aren't far , when we have a question or feel a little lost they are right there in our mind and heart, we know what they would say or what advice they would give. They took the time and effort to teach us good from bad right from wrong how to treat our fellow man. You come from good stock, teach your children the same. Love you guy's Wayne & Leona
May Light perpetual shine upon Debbie and may she Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory. I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother. Debbie was a wonderful girl.
My heart aches for you! Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
We were the lucky ones who got to meet,know,and love Deborah as we were neighbors first on the mountain she loved then became chosen family. Her passion for her family,her faith,her friends,and animals were a beautiful thing to experience. After we lost Jeff we always said it was us 3 girls against the world on the mountain. The beauty you must be seeing with our savior, the joyous reunion with Jeff and your Daddy. Until we see you again, love you big♡ -The Bradley Girls Alla and Meghann
