Debbie was my sweet, funny 1st cousin. We enjoyed many fun phone calls, prior to her final days. She had a great sense of humor that made us both laugh, even through our health struggles. She always insisted that we end our calls with "Later!", rather than "Goodbye". So now, it's "See you later, Debbie." I miss you but look forward to our reunion in Heaven.

My mind still hasn't processed that I won't speak to Debbie again until I join her in Heaven! I'm very sad...for her family & myself. We all miss her! Debbie always had a way of encouraging me with her words & love and her relentless determination to keep going, no matter what! She tried her best to instill some of that quality in me.
I picture Jesus walking with Debbie through the flower gardens with Hummingbirds in abundance (I know she loved them), beside the still waters, and right up to the front door of the dwelling He prepared for her, then embracing Debbie & lovingly saying, "Welcome home, dear child. This is your home for eternity!"
See you later, sweet cousin. Oh, what a joyful day that will be! --Kathie Jennings Eichelberger
