My Special Angel
Last night in ICN chat, we decided to write letters for Deb...mine is far from what I really want to say, but I can't get the words out. There are so many things that could be said about Deb, and it's hard to sum up such a wonderful life in such a little space...

Words cannot express the kind of person that Deb was. To me, she was the epitome of selflessness. The one person I could count on to tell all my dark secrets to and still manage to be smiled upon and loved. She and I could talk continuously, discussing anything from IC to ice cream! She loved life with a passion, and complimented often and freely. She had the soul of a dreamer and the heart of a child. No problem was too big for her. And if she didn’t have the answer, she’d send hugs. To anyone! A friend to all. When I first came to the ICN, I knew nobody. I was scared and felt alone. I logged on just days after I was diagnosed. My first friend was Deb. She extended a hand to me and lead me through the spiraling ways of IC. I grew to love her like my own aunt, and she delighted in having a following that thought of her as such.
Often times she would mention her family. She loved them dearly, and the only comfort I have through all of this is the fact that Deb is with her mother now, just as she wanted to be. I have sat here for many hours crying and pondering the question “why”, and cannot seem to come up with an answer to satisfy my sorrow. Why Deb? Why did she have to be taken from us? Why such a good, decent, honest person? Why, why, why, why???? I shake my head and cannot understand, but have no choice to accept the outcome. Deb is gone, but not forgotten. She has left her mark on my soul, as she has left on many.
Deb has taught me to respect, and love. To let go; to pray for peace of mind; to give back twice as much as received; to be a friend to all; that even when you have nothing to say, offer a hug; and most importantly, make every day count. It will take me a long while to get over this, Deb was more than a legend and icon around the ICN…she was a great friend to me, and I am indebted to her for eternity for teaching me the true meaning of kindness and friendship.
I truly believe that everyone on Earth was sent with a purpose. Some are sent to heal, some to teach, some to discover, but Deb was special. She was sent to love. To forgive. To bring peace, inner strength and beauty. She was a healer and a teacher in her own right, she healed my heart through many aches and pains, and she taught me to let go of the pain and the hurt. I feel very humbled and honored to have known Deb, although I only knew her for less than a year, she will be with me always.
