Dear Patrick, and Colleen,

I know you have not heard from me in awhile. I am here and you guys are always in my daily prayers. I don't know if I mention that my mom had become very ill. She is now in a nursing home, I was going there on a daily bassi to feed her, her 3 meals a day.

Patrick, I now that you as Joy does over see's eveything. I never expected thisto happen on top of everything else. Some days I just feel like I do not have any bit of energy left in me. Than I pull it from somewhere to make it through the day.

I have not been there in a couple of days, because as you know this time of year just kills me, I don't think it will ever go away. Colleen thank you for always writing to Joe. You re just so special to me.

Colleen if you get a chance or have a free moment go to: www.deborahdematthews.com 
it would mean alot to me.

Patrick always know you are in my prayers.

Love you both....
Debbie/Joe DeMatthews mom 

"Answer me when I call to you, O my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; be merciful to me and hear my prayer." - Psalm 4:1

           

When you are lonely,
I wish you love.

When you are down,
I wish you joy.

When you are troubled,
I wish you peace.

When things are complicated,
I wish you simple beauty.

When things are chaotic,
I wish you silence.

When things are empty
I wish you hope.


Thinking of you always.

My dearest Colleen,
How can I put into words...What a wonderful person and mother you are and how lucky enough that our paths crossed. My mother is very ill and I have been non-stop with helping my father who is going on 87. I am not only take care of him and making sure he eats, but giving him his meds everyday, g to the nursing home to feed my mom.
It does not matter, you are always there writing to Joe. My heart just shines brighter everytime I see that you lite a candle for write a condolence for Joe. I have to make sure I make the time to put this in my days, no matter how tired or what kind of day I had.

You are just something else. I don't even have the words. You are just so special to me. I haven't even had time to change Joey's site, and to be honest with you I don't even remember how to do it.

Please remember no matter what Patrick is in my daily prayer's. I am going to make it a point no matter what kind of day it's been, I am going to write again.
Maybe you can help me with Joe's background that needs to be change.
Love,
Debbie/Joe's mom
