Aunt Debi, since I moved to AZ in 2013, I haven't been able to fly home as often due to work, and being obligated to my family. When I was able to fly home this past January to celebrate aunt Pearl, at the last minute and fly back home the following morning, when I saw you there, along with Micki, that truly made my heart happy. I find myself reminiscing frequently of all the times, that I would drive to Lawndale and pick you and Mario up. The fond memories of cutting up with Chad, Eli, Tiff and Peaches. My most fondest memory is your wedding day! I was fortunate to be a part of that. Aunt Debi, you will always cherish the memories we shared. Even the memories of me chopping off Mario's rat tail when I would cut his hair. I love you auntie! Rest easy!

Nephew Ty & Carrie and family

I won't be in attendance today but Family please know you are in my prayers. I Love you Mario, Uncle Hubert, Sherrika and Shandy.
