My Dear First Cousin,Deborah I’ll always cherish the memories of you and especially the ones of us texting till One O’clock in the morning .You would tell me your fingers were hurting but you would ask me to call you right back you weren’t finished talking.So we would talk more..You had a bubbling personality and a contagious laugh. Your love for Jesus was undeniable I know you touched the hearts of everyone who knew you. I Love you, and this is not good bye when it’s my time we will see each other again.

Dearest cousin Debbie, you will be missed. It seems that I have known you and your family since I can remember and I suppose that is true. Our Dads were cousins and they were good friends; our families spent a lot of time together when we were younger. You were always one of the kindest, sweetest persons that I knew. I will always remember your effort at attending Mother’s big birthday celebration at AJ’s. She was so happy to see you there. See you again in heaven.
May you rest in peace. Fly high.

Please may I send heartfelt love and condolences during this extremely difficult and painful time. I can remember, as a little girl, going to visit Edward and the family (and also Uncle Otis and family) with my Mammaw Ruth and Pawpaw Calvin Brown.
