Please watch over Debbie. Someone I thought the world of has disappointed me beyond belief. I know you will have Debbie’s back. I know the good don’t always win, but I have to believe that just this once, the person who did wrong will suffer. You would be so upset by what he did. That fact that he disrespected your sister, I have no words. He disrespected your memory. I love you and I am leaving this in your hands.
