Deborah E. Passwater

I am so sorry about your wife. You have been in my thoughts and prayers everyday. You're in my head saying "hang in there kid". Just remember, you are never alone no matter how you look at it and I hope it bring you comfort in knowing
that. Miss ya Mike

A favorite Sonnet of mine that touches the heart by Christina Rossetti (1830-1894)

REMEMBER me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Dear Mike You and I have never met, but thru
Deb it's like I know you. After We became reacquainted
meeting at Curves.. we talked about old times... of course
then she became ill... we were in contact thru cards, and notes,
but unfortunately busy lives, etc. we were not in touch again for
awhile. I really thought too after her kidney transplant that she
would be on the road to much better health.
Please accept my deepest Sympathy . She is in a better place now
and no more will she suffer. We have lost a nice friend and classmate.
Sincerely Camille (Michalak) Bujeker

I am so sorry to hear about Deborah's passing. We lost touch after high school and how quickly time passes. It was earlier this week that I was thinking about those days and Deborah was on my mind all week long. Another high school friend I've recently reunited with asked me today if I knew
Deborah and shared the news. I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know you are in my prayers. My husband passes away July 2010 - I know there are many good people the God has called home when he felt it was time. My prayers are with you all.

Deb was like an aunt to our daughter Cheryl when she and Emily were young. We have always thought of Deb as having a very kind and generous soul and will always remember her. Our sincere condolences.

All our lives we pray, learn to trust obey and believe in a better place with our higher power, God, his son Jesus and his adoring mother. Yet when a young loved one is taken home we ache deeply from the loss. It is unfathomable to me to even comprehend the pain of a child w is called to leave this earthly home before her parents.
Pat, Roger, and all family members we will keep you in our prayers as you walk through this difficult time. Know that you are being carried on the wings of angels.
