Tragically we lost our beautiful Mom, Debbie on December 9th. She was undeniably the most beautiful soul to walk this earth. She was a loving wife, amazing mother and the very best of friends to everyone close to her. She was the light of so many peoples' lives and loved so deeply. Mom was an active volunteer in our community for 20+ years always giving her time to help everywhere she could. She taught us the values of working hard and giving back. Mom loved her animals, the garden. this community and most of all her family. As a very dear friend said, she was a gentle soul with the heart of a lion and that absolutely was Mom through and through. She was my best friend and the heart of our family. We are lost without her.

If matters couldn't be hard enough our beloved kitty Loki is in veterinary hospital fighting for his life. Diagnosed today with pancreatitis secondary to a possible tumor.

Our family has been through so much this month mentally and financially that I feel it is time to reach out and ask for help. Everyone who knows me knows that I am not the type to ask for help but we truly could use some support. I know times are tough and this close to Christmas it is a huge ask but if you could find it in your heart to help us we would be eternally grateful. If you can't help please share. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas from our family to yours.
