Debbie Chuck I and Jack at the Pinery in Parker on the deck overlooking golf course. Debbie holding all the dogs. She loved the animals.
Freddie would swim over the water in the hot tub.
we all had great laughter at him swimming in the air.
Debbie and I kept in touch by mail occasionally throughout our lives. She had such a great sense of humor. My ex husband's name was Dan and she called him Daniel Boone.
Interesting the time frame as Jack and her were married within that 5 year time frame that she was referencing in this letter.
I miss her so much.
Today is your birthday, my sweet Debbie! It's been almost 10 months since your passing. Words cannot describe how much I miss you! I pray everyday you are in a better place. I know you do not have any more pain from the awful disease.
The picture I enclosed was in Hawaii shortly after your 64th birthday. We had a fun trip and your smile in this picture reminded me how much fun we had together.
I have a big hole in my heart because I miss you so much. I will always love you my sweet Debbie!
I had the great honor of caring for Debbie. As a physician you care for many different kinds of people. I can say that Debbie was truly one of a kind and she is dearly missed. I was blessed to have known her and cared for her. Her courage kept her smiling even in very tough times and it was contagious! The entire staff was always anxious to know how Debbie was doing and whether she had a good time on her road trip or enjoyed her meal… Throughout her journey Jack was an exemplary husband and partner. It was clear that he wanted to do more for her. We all wanted to do more for her… There are no words to express how sorry I am for your loss Jack and I hope you will be comforted by all the kind words shared on this page and knowing what a wonderful impact she had on everyone around her. I extend my deepest condolences to you and the entire family. May God comfort you.

Trip to Trappers Lake CO Summer of 1998. Had a great time. David Little, Debbie, Robin, Chuck, Robert and his now wife Kara.
Starslippers Last Banner a offspring of Debbie and George. Yes I named my female Springer Spaniel after Debbie. She had freckles and a big nose. Deb did not mind at all that there was a bit of humor in naming my new puppy.
Debbie and George (David Little's male Springer) had puppies and I kept one.
Long story short, I left Banner with Debbie and Jim in Denver when I went to Texas in 1978. Debbie and Jim took good care of him until Jim ultimately ended up with him until Banner died in 1987 . Jim was so kind to send Deb and I this handwritten card memorializing Banner in 1987.
This is such a great picture of Debbie playing with our dog Banner. Jim and Deb were at Washington Park having fun.
Oahu 1951 Deb does not love the hat so much
Mom and Dad loved the mountains. We grew up in Littleton.
We had ponies and horses. Mom and Dad grew up on horses also.
We loved Grand Lake and Steamboat Springs.
Mom and Dad lived in many spots in the mountains when they were younger.
We made many trips up to Grand Lake and stayed at the Leatherwood Inn. Many good times had by all.
Charter for scuba diving. Pretty scary for Deb. I was pregnant and only snorkeled. Lots of fun. Pregnant with Robert. It was January and Robert was born March 8th.
My Sister
Debbie will be in my heart forever.
In my dreams she still smiles, laughs.
Her hair is the darkest brown of her life gone youth.
I still hear her calling me, addressing me to take care.
She will always be within my breast, my mind, all around me.
Always near.
She has stepped away to an unknown for us left.
Her valiant life she braved through all.
Giving us the privilege of presence to it.
Lessons of this troubling life throughout to death.
She is over me, I know it.
I will be with her always, missing.
Her genius and love to some unaware, not I
Her modesty, sadness and humility apparent cause, enough.
Now we lay down to sleep… I love and miss you Deb. Who's Rob?
This photo is sooooo funny. Debbie and Jim (Wasinger) and I were sitting at the table drinking beer. Jim had this hat on and Debbie said "Let me show you how stupid you look". Pretty good job.
My Song To You by; Josh Groban "To Where You Are"
"My sweet Debbie"
Words cannot describe the loss I feel in my heart! We were blessed with the time we had with one another after finding out you had this terrible disease. We were able to have deep discussions and closure with the ups and downs of our relationship. We laughed, cried, and loved one another until your last breath. I was blessed with the opportunity and joy of taking care of you at our home. I had your back! Your hospice nurse recognized how special you were. You always put on a show for her and you never complained. You tried to hide the pain from me you were feeling at times. You were more worried about me than yourself. You tried so hard to “shield” me from the inevitability of your passing. You gave me strength that I never knew was inside me. To have you with me in our home, in our bed holding you was The Ultimate Gift!
My Promises To You
I promised you, not to have a funeral because you did not want others sad at such an event.
I promised to continue your Love for your sister, Robin.
I promised to tell others you did not want flowers.
I promised that our love for one another would be Eternal.
I promised to put your Ashes where you wanted them.
I’m sorry but I asked Keith to create this site in your Memory. Your Friends and loved ones needed a way to keep Our Memories of you everlasting. I Pray I get a sign from you that you have no pain and are OK!
I guess the Big Guy in Heaven chose you because were such a giver!
I will always Love You, My sweet Girl!
Your Husband Jack
