My heartfelt condolences to Debbie. I am offering my sympathy and comfort during this difficult time for your loss.
So sorry for your loss Jim. Sending prayers your way.
Although I have not seen Debbie in years, I have thought of her and Jim often. I think of all the dinners I had with you, bottles of wine and many laughs. I will always treasure the Christmas tree skirt she made me. Rest in peace Debbie.
I will never forget how much we laughed at your hair appointments and how excited you were when you learned you were going to be a Grandma … I pray you rest in peace … I know there are many who will miss you a shining star now.
Dear Risselman family, You’re in our thoughts and prayers. May God wrap His loving arms around you all to grant His comfort and peace.
I am so sorry for your loss, I hope your memories comfort you through tough times. And good days too. Your faith may be shaken, but lean on God, He’ll help you move forward. So much love and hugs.
