Family is everything and Debra was family. Even thought the "Friend Family" in Chesterfield within the last 4 years have connected with the "Friend Family" in Richmond, we have enjoyed our family get together. Debra and Bob handled the grill and we had nothing but love and laughter. Debra was always glad to see all of us because her and Bob were in Midland, but we traveled in the rain just to have fun for a football game (Dallas and Redskins). The food was endless and we all enjoyed having Bob and Debra with us. "Thank God" we shared those few short years together. Debra will be missed and we will miss hearing her say "Robert" as she so affectionately called Bob.
However, we must remember God's will is not always our way, but we have to believe that GOD knows best and he knew that Debra was tired and she wanted to go to a place where there was NO more pain and suffering.  So Bob, Robert,Jr.  and Dawn, you have our sincere sympathy and please know we are here for you during this time of sadness and sorrow.
Be bless and we know we will see Debra once again, but until then, God bless Debra and God bless our Family.
Love,
Carl and Hilda Friend Jones
