~HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!!~
All angels aren't in heaven,I know this for a fact.
For one is near me everyday,With kindness in each act.
Her courage reaches through the dark,And shines the bravest red.
She knows so well what's deep inside.She dries each tear that's shed.
Her spirit soars into us all,In rays of purest white.
She needs no halo floating loose,For there are none so bright.
There's nothing more that I can say,To honor her "true blue",
Save that she keeps and holds to love,My angel Deb, YOU!



To My Friend – Thank You DEB
I know times have been difficult Not just for me – but for you as well.
Friendship is all about good times as well as bad. It has been through this difficult time That has taken over my life That I have come to realize Just how special you are And how invaluable your friendship is.
I know you have wished You could just wave a magic wand And all my troubles would vanish.
We both know you can't But wanting to do that for me Means just the same As if you could. I also know you feel Like there's nothing you can do for me.
Please believe me when I tell you You've done more than you'll ever know. You have listened, you have cried with me, And more importantly, You've been here right beside me.
I know you have been hurting too You have been carrying my pain. That has inspired me.
And I want you to know That if I have you to walk through life with These hard times Don't seem quite so hard. To me that is Friendship
And "Thank You" doesn't seem To say enough.
But those words are full of meaning So to you my friend – Thank You.
I know those simple words will touch your heart Just as you have touched mine.
I LOVE YOU DEB ~~~ Kelly & George


DEB ~~You are the sister of my heart, not born of the same parents, But born of the same sensibilities, Emotions, desires, dreams. Raised in different worlds, foreign beliefs, But yet so much alike in thought. Our hearts and minds draw us yet closer to each other. Share with me your secrets, your fantasies, your passions, And I will share mine with you. Ever trustful, confident that my secrets, My deepest musings are forever safe, never to be recounted. Locked away in your mind,
Where only you and I hold the key, the key to my soul. We are lifelines to one another, clinging precariously to the thread That protects us from the cruelties of reality. Reach out to me, I will catch you. I will be with you when you need me Ever cognizant that you are my safety net, my ballast against the storm. How can I ever repay you, my friend?
For all the many hours you listened to my words, my thoughts. You were my ally in the vestiges of war A place I could go to where I knew I would be safe from reproach, Comfortable in the warmth of your friendship. Thank you, my friend. Love Kelly


~A SPECIAL WISH TO DEB~



~A Personal HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my dearest friend & my Maid of honor Deb,
I'm wishing you the best day of your life. We're getting 'better' not only 'older'....*wink* I CAN'T express how much this last 1˝ yrs. has meant to me, being lucky, blessed enough to have you as my friend, The woman who stood up with me & by me during the 'hardest' time in my life !!!! The woman who has held my hand through happiness, sorrow, fear & dispair & her loyalty has never once faultered !!!! If ever there was a woman who deserved the "Metal Of Friendship" It would surely be Deb.........So willing to give to others in times of need,and has put her problems aside for a friend ~S~ God Bless her....


~WISHES FROM SPECIAL FRIENDS~

"Deb,
        Happy Birthday you sweet thang! I'm wishing you the best birthday ever. You have been an inspiration to me, and you make me feel like I can make it through this mess that I'm in. You're always here for me when I need you, and I can't tell you how much that means to me. I really look up to you. You tell it like it is, and you always know just what to say to make me feel better. Jeez, I'm going to cry, so I better shut up now. (tee hee!) Seriously though, you're the best, and i don't know what I'd do without you lady! Have a wonderful birthday. (I mean it!) Love, Christine/PA Gus/NJ"

Blessings Deb, and many happy and wonderful years ahead. Love you!

To Deb on her Birthday,
Another year older,but it's all good,
You've beat all the odds,and you know you could,
So pop you a beer, And back it with Jack
Cause when it's your birthday,You're licensed to get WACKED!
love to you always,
your taxigirl

Dearest Deb;
Shy's asked me to write a birthday note to you, and for once, I'm at a loss for words....
How do you tell someone what they really mean to you after they have given such great gifts of themselves? Their friendship... their compassion... their heart... I know I, for one, am not even close to being able to. You are one of the finest people I have ever had the honor to meet, and just saying happy birthday doesn't come close to what you deserve - all the happiness, serenity, and love in the universe!!! With much love,
Rebel

Dear Deb,
Happy, Happy Birthday...Your such a special person and I am so blessed to have been able to know you through all the different groups...Please have a wonderful Birthday....Sherry
*Hope* is everything, without it, we have nothing* "You being yourself is the best present you can give somebody."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEB!!!
.....I know we don't "talk" much anymore but you will always be a sistah to me hope you go out and have a GREAT birthday celebration!!

Deb, I'd love to be able to do more than just send my love and best wishes for your birthday. You've been there for me, each time I needed an ear to listen to my problems, or a shoulder to cry on. You've given me good sound, non-judgemental advice, but most of all, you've given me hope that there will be better, brighter days ahead. And for that, my friend, I am deeply appreciative. So, just know that you'll be in my daily thoughts and prayers. You have all my best wishes and thoughts, for a happy birthday, and a year full of all the good things you deserve.
Love, Sharon

Best Wishes for a Happy Birthday!!!!
