Thinking of you today and always.
❤️❤️❤️❤️

Seeing your pictures and listening to the "Sunshine" music, make me so happy, as do the conversations with Jack that we have about what a wonderful person you were (are).

Oh Debbie, You are so missed and loved by so many! I hate this Day because i miss you SOO MUCH! It's also the day that you went to Heaven and your pain was GONE! I know you are a busy Girl doing God's work. Love You Sweet Pea!!!

Happy Birthday Debbie! Sending you the biggest hugs up to heaven. I hope you can feel them. So much has changed over the last few years and I am missing you and the family and friends I made along the way. But as you know life passes us by too quickly and we must take the moments provided to us to spend time and care for those we love. I hold onto your beautiful smile that warmed everyone around you and your generous heart. I hope wherever you are you are having the time of your life and feel the love being sent to you.

Happy birthday, Debbie! It warms my heart to see these wonderful pictures of you and your family. What a great team you and Jack were (and are)! Love, Ryan

Happy Birthday Debbie. Love and miss you. ❤️❤️❤️

I cannot believe how many years have gone by, yet I can still hear your laughter and feel your presence. I admit to shedding some tears today. I often wonder how you would react to the world today and I can just see your special eye roll and saying "how over it" you are which makes me laugh picturing this. You are missed so very much. I hope wherever you are you are happy and know how much you are loved and thought of. Until we meet again.

I Hate this day every year! My heart hurts more than ever! I love You " Sweet Debbie" and Miss you More than ever!!!

" My Sweet Debbie"
The hole in my Heart will continue to grow until we are together again. Thank you for coming to me through the medium. It was very comforting. We all miss you so much! We all Love you to the Moon!

I miss you so much.

I have not forgotten, I will never forget. I love you always, remember always. Robin your monkey sister.
The Sonnets to Opheus, 1922.
Silent friend of many distances,
feel how your breath is still expanding space.
Let yourself peal among the beams of dark belfries.
Whatever preys on you will grow strong from this nourishment.
Know transformation through and through.
What experience has been most painful to you?
If the drinking's bitter, turn to wine.
In this vast night, be the magic power
at your senses' intersection,
the meaning of their strange encounter.
And if the earthly has forgotten
you, say to the still earth: I flow,
To the rushing water speak: I am.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke

My Sweet Debbie,
Today is your Birthday! We always laughed because it would seem no one remembered. I Love and miss you more every day! With Loving Prayers, Jack

" My Sweet Debbie "
Thank God I have our memories together! Just like when we would sit on the patio and talk about all the fun we had together! I can still hear you laughing when we would reminisce about the many trips we took with your dad.Or when we asked Chuck what time it was and he said "Saturday"! I know you are in a better place and out of pain.I have to celebrate that for you! I rejoice in the "DAY" we are together again! No one will ever take our memories away from US!

Love You Forever!!!!

A GRIEF AGO

'There is no grief
which time does not lessen
or soften' -
so said Cicero, a man so often right;
a Stoic, those for whom
all life presents a lesson
to be learned from,
and then, to move on from..

But I wonder about all this:
is grief ever lessened or softened?
Is it not, perhaps, overlaid
in our so various ways?

For some, grief framed and falsified
to ease that grief;

For some, like hyacinths and crocus bulbs,
left in a dark cupboard in the autumn of our grief
to respond to time, and
become at last
themselves?

gently, gently, the covers pulled
over the loving bed,
the true, the pure, the lovely painful grief,
the memory deep cherished,
gently, gently, folded
into the cupboards of the heart

there to be known, without the door disturbed
until the time - 'a grief ago' as Dylan wrote -
the cupboard opened only for love's sake
without grief...:
those carefully folded memories
brought out and loved
and lived a while...

not grief, not grief...but
the pure memory of grief

and behold,
life.
Michael Shepherd, Poet, 1929-2010

Another year. My grief has not lessened. Miss you every day. Love you always.

Can death be sleep, when life is but a dream
And scenes of bliss pass as a phantom by?
The transient pleasures as a vision seem,
And yet we think the greatest pain’s to die?

How strange it is that man on earth should roam,
And lead a life of woe, but not forsake
His rugged path; nor dare he view alone
His future doom which is but to awake.

John Keats

Happy Birthday " My Sweet Debbie". We all miss you terribly! My heart has a hole in it without you in my life. God Bless You!

Happy Birthday Debbie. I think of you often and how you were the light to so many people including me. Your visits to my office I remember very fondly. 

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted" Matthew 5:4

My dearest, I miss you and cry everyday. I visit this site more infrequent, not that I think and miss you less. It is more, as the days grow longer from your leaving. I cannot and will not ever understand the way which God decided to take you. The holidays are upon us again, and you are not here. I have moved from one place to another, but the change is only physical. You are with me always. Me and you, sisters, laughing. 

Why did I laugh tonight? No voice will tell
No God, no demon of severe response
Deigns to reply from heaven or from hell
Then to my human heart I turn at once:
Heart, thou and I are here, sad and alone, Say, why did I laugh? O mortal pain!
O darkness! darkness! Forever must I moan
To question heaven and hell and heart in vain?
Why did I laugh? I know this being's lease
My fancy to it's utmost blisses spreads
Yet would I on this very midnight cease
And all the world's gaudy ensigns see in shreds
Verse, fame and beauty are intense indeed
But death intenser, death is life's high meed. ~John Keats

Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I, and you are you. Whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.

Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was,
let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.

All is well.

Dreams of you in the day and night. Last night looking for you in old Denver streets. Not a moment without. Miss you. Mother's Day yesterday. Mom and Dad are with you I know it. My dreams out always of you, Mom and Dad and Grandma. Strange dreams but happy. Dad's books, harvesting radishes with a hoe. Two fingers signifying positive. Then I awake to another day with tears. Then a memory of your laugh and beautiful face and smile. Have to do that.

I having a sad day. I miss you so much! I Love you Sweetie!

Debbie...I can't think of you without hearing your fun laughter.."simmer down now" and just about anything could get you to laughing! I loved you for that!
fondly, David

“Life is but a day:
A fragile dewdrop on its perilious way
From a tree's summit”
― John Keats
I think and dream of you every day and night. You come to me in the day and my dreams at night are filled with you and Mom and Dad. I am listening for you. I miss you so much.

Debbie, I think of you and our fun times together often. Always makes me smile. Marni

Missing you today and always.

There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I can still hear your laughter and how your smile just made everyone around you feel good. You have touched my life Debbie in so many ways, and your loving heart, giving nature, your presence, will live on through all the lives you touched. Every time I see a hummingbird I think of you and I tell you hello, and I hope wherever you are that you know just how much you are thought of.

We lost an angel here on Earth and you are missed and loved beyond measure.... always

" My Sweet Debbie"

Today is the anniversary of your passing! I will always remember that day as if it was yesterday.I know you are in a better place and at peace. We all miss you and words are not enough to describe the pain I feel in my heart. I hope you are Cozy and I love you Always!!!

Jack, Keith and Jay

It was truly my pleasure meeting Debbie and you also Jack through my stays in AZ at Clara and Jeff's house. I enjoyed the times the 4 of us were able to go out to breakfast. Debbie, such a sweet lady and I enjoyed getting to know her. May she rest in peace. Love you Jack!

Debbie was one of the kindest people I've ever known.  When I was out making sales calls I would stop by her office in Parker a few times a week to say hello. She always had a smile and took the time to talk to me. I could tell her anything, knowing it wouldn't go any further. She had an uplifting personality that made me want to laugh when I was around her. 
The first time Debbie met my daughter she began to cry. When I asked her why she told me she was so happy for me. I will always remember that conversation and how that touched my heart.
I can still hear Debbie's laughter and will keep that and her smile as my memory of her. I'm truly richer for having known her.

I had the pleasure of being on Debbie's care team and she was such a joy! I enjoyed caring for her and loved her beautiful smile and the grace she held while being sick. She never complained and always shined so bright with hope!! The love her and Jack shared was so inspiring and I am so glad she was surrounded by such love! I am blessed to have been a very small part of her journey and I will never forget her! May God comfort all those left that will miss her so terribly. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.

With deep condolences,

Korinne Ashlock RN, OCN Care Manager

I have such sadness in my heart. We shared many memories when we were small. " Who got to sleep on the top bunk or over in the single bed?" " Who got to sleep in the back window at the drive-in?" " Letting me ride her horse bareback or racing her and her horse on the canal road with my bike." Fixing me a sandwich at 2 in the morning and waking me to tell me so. So many small memories good and bad that we shared in our early childhood and teen years. I truly regret so many lost years we shared little more than phone calls. I could go on but what really is important is that I know in my heart how beautiful Debbie was as a person and how much I love her as my sister. She will always be in my heart. I truly love Jack for being her wonderful husband and caring for her always. 
Debbie will be a horseback rider in the sky, galloping thru the clouds. I hope she will always know that I love her now and forever.

One of my favorite people ever! I always looked forward to spending time in Debbie's presence. Warm, kind and beautiful - she has left a void for many of us but I find comfort knowing I have her watching over me and my family. RIP Debbie. xoxo

I was very blessed have had met Debbie a few times before her passing. She was kind, warm and down to earth. May you rest in peace free of the terrible disease that stricken you Debbie.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Debbie's passing. I will miss her very much. She was gracious and kind, amazingly positive, and had the most beautiful smile that would light up a room. Jack, she was and forever will be your guardian angel. May she rest in peace!!!

An amazing woman!!! Words cannot describe how much she taught me in my life!!! Having someone as a second mother, being able to tell her anything and knowing that it would go nowhere. It was so amazing having somebody in my life, that would just listen to you and help guide my way through troubled waters and smooth waters. It was just amazing to have somebody that you love to be around and made you smile, laugh and cry together! We would always turn everything into a funny joke!! I'm am so thankful that I will always have those amazing memories with me every day. I know that I will think of them and laugh and smile until I get to join our love ones again. We will carry-on for you for you, always making people happy by giving them your special smile and beautiful laugh!! I love you!!

Debbie, you are a person that has touched so many hearts. I didn't know what I could say differently from any one here except that sharing an office with Jack gave me a chance to see your true love for Jack and his love for you. Your marriage and your lives are an inspiration to others with the love that you shared. I have been truly blessed with your friendship. Love you Jack and miss you Deb.

Beautiful Debbie! My best memories are of the "The Wedding" Glorious hair. Dainty ankles. Caring and funny. Dry, dry wit and insights.
So sorry, Jack, that she has gone on so soon. I look forward to the time when we can celebrate the lives of the people we love rather than mourning their deaths.

Robin and Debbie: I am all teared up after looking at the photos, videos and memorial tributes. Plus, it really made me realize how much you two that had lives intertwining for more then 60 years!  Best friends forever, so I realize how painful it must be for you right now to lose Debbie.
I will always remember how easy it was to make either one of you laugh. Such light-heartedness and joy for so much of your lives (if you can ignore the crappy parts!) Debbie was so beautiful I would have chased her in high school but then I met Jim Wasinger which ruled out Debbie but introduced me to Robin. Which led to a liftetime of loving you both. So I know now how you feel losing her, but I think I know she will always be with her little sister.
Debbie was so strong in spirit and now she will be a spirit watching over you. Go ahead and talk with her and while your at it, tell her David loves her and misses her, too.

Oh, Deb… that wonderful smile. Deb, I know your smiling down on Jack and your other loved ones as you read and view these tributes. We had so many great times including those soirees to Vegas… The laughs were non stop. And you were always there lighting up the room with that wonderful smile. What a great giving heart you had. Your spirit will live on forever with all of us.

Debbie,
I have so many memories of our time working together at the title company in Colorado. You were one of the big reasons that I wanted to work at that office, and I knew I would laugh every day. You didn’t disappoint…though we may have had a little fun at other’s expense! Oh, how we loved to “hate” Tom :) When I fell and broke my foot outside the front door of the office, you said “At least you didn’t break the wine bottle!” When the realtor plugged up our entire septic system one morning, you chanted all day, “Perry plugged our pot with a …… “

Last year when I heard about your illness, I talked to you and Jack over the phone. You were still laughing and you sure weren’t going to talk about being sick. I am so glad I got to see you again in Arizona. You always told me to hang on to my family and to enjoy every minute. That was great advice that you yourself lived by. I will miss you, but I will always smile when I think of you. Love, Marni

Debbie T....what a wonderful woman. Sweet, kind, caring, always interested... No matter how busy Debbie was, she would make the time to listen to me and/or help with one of my deals. She was a part of my life, virtually everyday, for the past 17 years. I have missed my friend this past year. Her presence in the office was always so positive and warm.

Such a cool woman. One of a kind.

God bless you Debbie, and Jack.

Debbie, I cannot describe how much I will miss you. You truly were the shining light around the office all of these years, going waaaaaaay back to the beginning days. You had an unwavering sincerity to you that I will never forget. A genuine soul that never deviated for a second (that is truly amazing in itself). Nothing made me happier than making you laugh. Not just because it was so easy, but because I truly feel in my heart of hearts that you thought my stupid antics were funny (and if not, great acting!!). 

One of my favorite memories is how I would always try to get a jolt out of you in the mornings when the office was quiet and you were not sure if anyone was around. I would slowly walk by your office (or catch you in the break room), then yell "DEBBIE! WHAT THE HE** ARE YOU DOING? GET BACK TO WORK!". Every single time, you would be shocked, then break out in laughter, then I would give you a big hug (the best part). I loved shooting the breeze with you in the early mornings and late in the day....you were my partner that I could always count on was still grinding away in the office. How many evenings did you and I shut down that place together?! I sure will miss this. 

Deb, we are really going to miss you. You meant so much to us, and it is hard to put into words how you made us all feel. I will miss laughing with you, and I wish you could have stayed around longer to see the kids grow up. The way you lit up when we brought them around the office was priceless. We take solace knowing you will watch over them for us, and we promise to instill in them the sincerity and genuineness you carried so effortlessly. Thank you for being such a great friend. We love you, The Crawfords.
