What can I say except that I’m heartbroken. I grew up with Debbie. I’ve known her since I was 10 years old. We shared so much together, the good times and the bad. We were there for each other through thick and thin. I became a part of her family. My biggest regret is that after I moved to Staten Island, we drifted apart. We kept in touch (although in hindsight—not enough), but we managed to talk as much as our busy lives let. She was my best friend, but she was also my sister. Her family was my family. I will grieve for her till the day I die. My heart goes out to Tony, Nicole and her twins, Marlene and Denise, and all her family and friends who will miss her dearly. Debbie, you didn’t deserve this suffering and we are all just glad you are at peace. I love you dearly. I will miss you more than you’ll know. Until we meet again, rest in eternal peace. Love your best friend and third sister, Shells.
