Oh mama how I miss you so much. It’s hard to believe we’ve gone on in this life 20 whole years without your beautiful soul and that amazing smile. I recently watched a show where the mom was dying from breast cancer. It opened so much grief I didn’t know existed. It opened a whole perspective from a mother’s POV that I never took a moment to understand. I’ve always understood my own grief. Never once thinking about how you felt. You were leaving this world and you knew it. You had 2 beautiful children who have so much life to live and you wouldn’t get to be there to see it be apart of it live in it. That broke me. For 20 years I was so caught up in my own life and how your loss affected me I never once thought how hurt you must have been to leave your two heartbeats behind without you. I want you to know mama we are ok. We might have only had you for a short time but in that time you taught us so much. So much love, so much kindness, so much strength. I wouldn’t be who I am today if it wasn’t for everything you were and instilled in me. Shawn is an amazing husband and father to a beautiful little girl. She looks just like us mama she’s got your beautiful blue eyes. I just want you to know how loved you are and will continue to be as long as I am alive in this world. We carry you with us everywhere we go. In our hearts in our souls in our memories and in our smiles. We love you so much mama RIP our beautiful angel 😇 I love you 

Debbie was one of the best. She loved you and your sister with everything that she had. I remember her welcoming all of us to her home on a daily basis. Her house was the place to be and I still remember it vividly. She was your number one fan 😊 

She is so dearly missed but looking down and watching over you and your beautiful family. She was one of a kind and would be so proud of the man you have become. 

Love you brother.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you .  Although we never knew Debbie, she still is a part of our family.  Shawn, you are a son to us and we are so grateful to have you in our lives. I’m sure Debbie looks down on you with pride.  Mom and Dad Frings

I was never able to meet Debbie but I watch her tenacity live on through Shawn & I see the beautiful blue eyes she passed onto Anella. We wish everyday Grandma Debbie was here with us 💕
