    Denny,
    I’m sorry for your loss. Debra was like a mother to me and a grandmother to Lilly.
    She left an indelible impression on me and my family. We are thankful for the time we spent with you and Debra.
    From the first day my husband brought me over to your house I knew you guys were very loving people.
    This was very comforting being new to the area!
    I will miss her phone calls and gifts from anniversaries to other special occasions.
    She would always go out of her way for me and my family.
    Denny please know we are only a phone call away if you need anything!
    WE LOVE YOU DENNY!

    Jimmy. Sending you my sympathy on the loss of your sisters. I am a neighbor of your parents when they lived on Bond Street. I was unaware of your loss of Susan. May God hold you close and comfort you in this difficult time. Sincerely,
