My beautiful Auntie Debs, my first friend she was just 9 when I was born, we grew up together, had kids together, we got on each others nerves sometimes and supported and loved each other through good and bad times. You fought this battle bravely and courageously and now as a family we will look out for each other and talk about you always, our memories we will cherish.
