Courage to Jump
Skydive for Charity

If you get a minute, search Debbie's name (or variations there of) on google.   You might be suprised at what you find.  Deb was a lot of things to a lot of people.  For some, their relationship with Deb was close and intimate.  Others only knew her by her witty straight talk that garnished a whole array of responses.   One thing is abuntantly clear from the results of the search.  Debbie left her mark.  The web is colored with flashes of her personality on web blogs, webrings, and posting boards.

If you knew her or "of her", you may never say you were her freind; but its hard to say that you won't remember her.  Its hard to deny that she touched other lives and hearts.  Its hard to say she didn't inspire hope in those who had none.   And, it is hard to say that she did fight with everything she had to beat this terrible disease.

What I am most impressed with is Debbie's legacy and how many kind words follow her memory.   Say what you want about the person, she was flawed, as we all are;  but, don't with one single breath tarnish the reputation of the heart and soul with which she fought - not just for herself but for all who needed to find the courage to fight.   Debbie continues to make a difference, even in death.

I can only hope to leave that kind of mark.
