We love you.
You were the only one to call me Debbie.
You were the one that taught me the sign language for "I love you".
You were a reminder of my father long after he was gone.
You were always good for a joke and a laugh.
We will miss you.
Tell Daddy we are fine, and give my daughter a hug.
I wonder if you remember us, and are mindful of what we would want you to do in Heaven?
Grandpa Brant is the one all the way to the right in this picture.
Interesting...the only surviving person from this picture is my mom. Sometimes I just think the only thing that keeps me going, and even satisfied is just the simple statement I have to repeat in my head: "Ok, Lord, I trust You." Quickly after the temptation to wallow in misunderstanding over life's twists and turns is the thought/reminder deep inside that I am not the only one that hurts. There's lots of hurt in the world. Jesus did not promise us a life void of pain, He just said there would be a helper and comforter to sustain us. I'm so thankful for that.

hey deb. My heart hurts with you over the loss of your grandpa...i can completely relate.
love you friend, and praying for you as you continue to deal with loss.
i agree with your last words, Jesus did not say we would live a life void of pain...but that we can have Life, and to the Full, in HIM. and I'm so thankful we have a Comforter who can reach deeper into our hearts and most hurt places than ourselves or any other person...and one who grieves right along with us.
love you.
I'm sorry about your grandpa, Deb. We will be praying for you and your family.
You have a beautiful heart.
"OK, Lord, I trust You."
Hold on to that!
I am thinking about you today! I pray you will be comforted well. Love you
Also, that picture of your mom looks nearly identical to what my mom looked like 30+ years ago.
