Beyond Words


Sweet Ashlynn lost her wonderful mother. 

Darryl no longer has his amazing wife.

An incredible teacher is gone & our girl scout troop leader that tried to get us to do something other than crafts is no longer here.

She is with the Lord and with Roisin getting the party ready for the rest of us!

Shay is no longer in pain & no longer suffering through cancer that just keeps spreading.

And for that,

I am thankful.

Despite our pain and the incredible loss for so many.

Shay, you were the bravest of brave, you encouraged Hannah through her illness & even came to see her at the hospital, which I know for you WAS A HUGE DEAL.

You fought til the bitter end for Ashlynn & you were blessed to have a husband by your side that is an example to every man.

When I left for Kentucky I told you I would still be "down the street" -- well, girlfriend, the day will come when we will be neighbors again, except this time we will walk the streets of gold!

Can't wait to see you & Roisin .... Thanks for being a friend, an example, a sister, a neighbor & an role model to my girls.

We will always be here for Ashlynn and for your Bubba.

You will never be forgotten.

  1. Thanks Deb, for making the tears flow one more time... Looking at the pictures brought back alot of Girl Scout memories. Shay the teacher always got the girls in control when we just were planning to party and let them run wild. :) Thank you so much for bringing us together, just one more way your friendship has been a gift to me.
    Love to you and your family,
    Wendy
