Actually, Deb has been gone for a bit over two years, but every once in a while she tweaks my creative juices and I write about her. It helps keep her memory alive in my heart, too. Thanks for your visit and your comment.

Thanks, Heidi. Deb actually has been gone for over two years now, and I am doing well. I still miss her terribly, but I am moving along with my life.
