"A bit of sunshine has left this world. Deborah was such a force. Full of life and like sunshine. Shining bright into all the lives she touched. Big smiles. Funny. Happy. Those are the words I think of when I think of Deborah. Even in her fight against cancer she maintained a sense of humor and a strong spirit. She was the best mother. She had already done the role as a nanny so well to Hans and Dietre and other children so she was a natural for her own children. Her husband and kids were everything to her as were all those she loved. We will remember her kindness always."

"There are no words for our grief. We are here together, wordless, numb, and hurting.But we are here. We are here to pay our respects to Deborah. We are here together as a testament to our love for the friend, the wife, and the mother.Many of us are angry right now. We want answers and there aren’t any. Why did someone we love get taken away from us, so soon in her life?Many of us are angry at God, and that is alright. Be angry. God can handle it. We are the ones who can’t handle it if we hold it in.And I cannot say that God plans for us to feel pain, certainly not this kind of pain.Jesus wept when Lazareth died. I believe that God is crying with us, and is holding us right now. I believe that each time we share our grief with each other, God shares our grief with us.God is there, acting through us. God is in the arms of the person you hug in your grief. God is in our arms as we hug them. Love doesn’t end with death. It just changes shape. Every person here has some of love to Deborah in them. When we share our grief with each other, we are also sharing Deborah’s love with each other.Be open to talk about her. Celebrate her life. Celebrate the time she spent with you and everything you did together. Do something in honor of her, something that you both enjoyed doing together. Donate to a charity in her name. Plant a tree. Paint. Write. We grieve deeply because we love deeply.Be open. Be open because you love Deborah, Mitch, Brooklyn, and Bo.Peace be with you."
