    I wish our paths had crossed some where in time, as i have read such beautiful and touching stories about this lady, posted by Miss Karen Miller Millett over the last few months. The pain and suffering has ended for Debbie, but i know her family and friends will continue to suffer her loss. Some day we will all be reunited with our loved ones, perhaps at that time i will be fortunate enough to meet the lady i have heard so much about.
