~DEBORAH DIANE BRAZIE~
~BORN TO EARTH~ OCT0BER 31, 1949
~BORN TO HEAVEN~ AUGUST 19, 1966
The above picture is my sister Debbie at the age of about 15. It is the only good picture we have of her, she didn't like having her picture taken. Debbie was a very outgoing person and loved life. She belonged to the New London High School Marching and Concert Band. She also played the piano for the school's plays they put on. She was in her junior year of high school when in the month of May she got sick and they put her in the hospital to find out what was causing her sickness. They did a breastbone test on her and she caught staph infection from that; which brought on kidney infection and later the cancer which caused her death. Debbie's classmates on their day of graduation in 1967 took their class flowers and placed them on her grave in memory of her. Since then it has become a tradition with other classes that have lost one of the own members. I love my sister and will always think of her. Debbie knew she was dying but made our uncle and aunt promise not to tell us. She told them that she had seen Jesus and he said she would be coming home to her Heavenly Father. None of us were Christians at the time of her death so we didn't catch what she told us at the hospital. She told us she was going home to her father; if we'd been Christians we probably would of understood. Losing her was terrible for all of us, we had never lost anyone close to us before. I am now a Christian as are many of my other family members and we know where Debbie is now. I believe she's helping take care of my two grandchildren, Jill and Brandon. ~THERE IS NO FRIEND LIKE A SISTER~ By: ~Mary Engelbreit~ There's no better friend than a sister - There's no one more loyal and true ... and even when sisters are different ... their likeness comes shining through! Perhaps it's a family resemblance that strengthens the bond they share ... or maybe it's just that sisters live life with a similar flair! A sister remembers your childhood - She knows more than you will admit of times you were Little Miss Perfect ... and times you gave others a fit! She's seen you in some situations when silence just wouldn't suffice ... and managed somehow to get by with those sisterly words of advice! And when some encouragement's needed ... a sister will always be there ... to listen ... to laugh ... or to lean on ... to comfort, or simply to care. There's no one who's more in your corner ... and no one you're more grateful to. There's no better friend than a sister ... and no better sister than you.

~What a Friend We Have in Jesus~ Words & Music by: Joseph M. Scriven & William P. Rowlands
What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry Ev'rything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry Ev'rything to God in prayer! Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged: Take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful, Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness: Take it to the Lord in prayer. Are we weak and heavy laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Jesus only is our refuge: Take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer; In His arms He'll take and shield thee, Thou wilt find a solace there.
