Hi, I’m Jack. Your website has become my go-to destination for expert advice and knowledge. Keep up the fantastic work!
Since we moved away, it was random when we would speak. I’d read a book and recommend it to you. We would talk in posts on Facebook. My last message from you was in May. You will be missed. Rest well my friend.
Debra, you were my daughter’s first baby sitter up here and my granddaughters first baby sitter. You were so sweet to both. Spread your wings wide and fly high.

Devra
for a brief time we were neighbors, friends, family. You and Jennifer were there for me when I was at my worst. You were always loving and supportive to me and my daughters. I regret with all my heart that we lost touch over these last ten years. I wish nothing but love for Scott and Jennifer in these next trying days. Farewell Devra. Godspeed. Love you neighbor.

You were the love of my life. I always imagined we would grow old together. The love of my teens; my 20’s and 30’s and beginning of our 40’s.
We took each other for granted. Played a game of chicken with our egos waging on who would come back to who first.
But in all times, you were my home – my comfort zone and the resonance in my life that always made the most sense.
You were my world and it’s all so strange to have to figure out what it is like living in a world without you.
But thank you for all of the gratitude I have to have lived such an honorable love with you – to have someone validate that characteristics such as loyalty and honesty can exist within a connection…
To have always have made me feel loved and adored since you first laid eyes on me at 12 years old.
Devra, I love you SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! So freaking much! And that will never change.
