Dear all,
Debbie was a very special cousin to me, even though we rarely saw one another. She was always instantly warm, bright, fun, and welcoming to my family and me, even after decades had passed. Additionally, Debbie looked like us- especially like my sister, Erika. She felt like "home." Most of all, Debbie was like a third daughter to my father. Daddy was so fond of her, he lit up when he spoke of her, and to her. Debbie was very loving to my father when he suffered from a long illness, and always when he was well too. They had Detroit in common with him- Erika and I did not.. There were many sad chapters in the Fine family- this is another.
My heart is broken - for her and for all who have lost her.
Thank you for allowing me to say what is in my heart and to give all of you a giant virtual hug.
Love,
Amy Fine Collins
