Our deepest sympathies to all the Hebert family at this time...I have such good memories of debbie as we shared our grandaughter ,Courtney. It was our love for her that brought us together but soon we realized that we had alot in common. One thing was we both loved to talk and play catch up whenever we would see each other. Don and my husband Albert spent many a time pacing on one foot and then the other waiting for our visit to end . Debbie loved to sew and she made courtney some beautiful Victorian dresses for their family tradition of outings at Galveston for Christmas time . My little sundresses for courtney just couldn't compare but deb never bragged or made me feel small ...instead she encouraged me to try and venture out with my sewing ....we always joked about her making courtneys wedding dress one day ...when deb's arthritis got so bad she said I would have to run the machine and she would guide the stitches . Deb was very intelligent especially when it came to nutrition and we would have alot of conversations discussing health etc. Everytime deb and I ever got together which sad to say once courtney went away to school were few and far between times, we always seemed excited to see each other and picked right up where we left off ....Deb I will miss you you were a good friend to me and you loved "our girl" with a big heart for that was the only way you loved !!! Heaven has a new angel ......debbie desper
