    Dear Dolores and family,
    I was very sorry to hear about Debbie’s death. I was glad to know her and witness her courage and perseverance during her long illness. She was in our daily prayers and for some reason she was especially on my mind during the spring and fall seasons, spring for renewal of spirit and autumn for warmth, maybe. We corresponded once or twice during the year, nothing in particular, just thoughts of one another. She was a kind, gentle and gracious spirit with a lovely smile and welcoming manner.

    This has been a trying year for you all, I know. You have all been in my thoughts many times. Wishing you peace and comfort; also joy in the many happy memories of loved ones who are dearly missed.

    Love and blessings

    Karen Tindal and Max Biesenthal
