Deb was that rare friend who could always make you feel you had a special place in her life. We spent many happy hours together planning and dreaming, talking about our families, learning new skills (rug hooking and quilting), discussing our favourite books, world events, and travel. We walked a few hundred miles at Molega, speculating about our life going into retirement and what we would do with our newly found free time. We enjoyed many wonderful meals together, both at the cottage as well as in Fall River and Lakeview. For 30 years, Deb was a treasured friend and we miss her every single day. Our loving thoughts are with you, Jim, as well as with Greg, Chris, Alex and their families.
“ I cannot say and I will not say
That she is dead, she is just away.
With a cheery smile and a wave of hand
She has wandered into an unknown land;
And left us dreaming how very fair
Its needs must be, since she lingers there.
And you — oh you, who the wildest yearn
From the old-time step and the glad return —
Think of her faring on, as dear
In the love of there, as the love of here
Think of her still the same way, I say;
She is not dead, she is just away.”
James Whitcomb Riley
