In time, today is Deb's 54th birthday. She is likely dancing and painting in worship before the Lord. To celebrate here, see the photo recollection of Deb's life which her family shared at the two Celebrations of the Resurrection in Mt Vernon, IL, (October 20, 2007) and Cincinnati, OH (October 21, 2007).

Hello, again, Friends of Deb!
I hope this post finds you all well, and enjoying a pleasant reprieve from the summer heat.
Here's a simple way you can shed a little sunlight into the life of a woman who's had way too much on her plate, lately. :)
Charity, Deb's oldest daughter, is having a Birthday, tomorrow, Thursday, July 26. Please drop her an email or whatever you feel is appropriate. I just know this would make her feel good, and she certainly deserves to feel good during this difficult time, don't you think? :)
Abundant Thanks from Deb & Tom

The co-pay cost for Deb's medications, though changing periodically, is between $6,000 and $7,000 per month. The family is doing all that is possible to reduce this cost through pharmaceutical company programs, grants, etc. The costs of ancillary services (like lab work, etc.) related to Deb's care are generally not covered by insurance, and continue to mount. A recent estimate puts the currently outstanding uncovered medical expenses for Deb's treatment and care at close to $500,000.

"We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.Intense love does not measure, it just gives.
I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.”
- Mother Teresa of Calcutta"Small things done with great Love will change the world" - Steve Sjogren of Cincinnati
"I pray that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." ~Eph. 3:17-19
