Tonight on The Loo and Verne Show we remember our Dear friend Debbie Walker. I first met Debbie when I was a child as her stepdaughter,Tiffany and I were best friends growing up. My first impression was what a sweet, beautiful lady. When she looked at you with those eyes she was looking at you, you had her undivided attention. She treated me as if I were her child with love and respect.
Debbie and her husband Robert welcomed two boys into their family, lil Robert as he is called, and Tommy. I remember those two little boys Robert looking very much like his namesake, and Tommy with the blonde hair and adorable dimples,more like his mother.
Growing up around this family and seeing the pride and love each held for one another just would draw you in more. Later as my best friend Tiffany was in a car crash at age 15 and was unconscious at Erlanger Hospital, my bond with this family was stronger. I watched as Debbie did not want to leave even to eat. I thought WOW! This is her husbands child but yet she has unconditional love for her.Tiffany did make a full recovery from her injuries.
One thinks that such a tragedy only hits a family once, but that wasn't so. A couple of years ago Debbie was diagnosed with cancer. Then this past summer their precious Tommy was killed in a car crash only seconds from their home. He was 3 days from his 13 birthday.
As I write this I am overcome by great sadness, how could a family survive through this tragedy. But they did Debbie continued fighting bravely, still smiled.
I got to see her for the last time, we hugged and I told her I loved her and how she inspired me with her strong faith. I can only pray now for my friends but I will never forget the love of a great person,
Goodbye Debbie.
