Hello-
I was a friend of Debbie Meadows-West in junior high and high school. I have been trying to find her and was shocked to see that she had preceded her father in death.
Would you mind telling me what happened to Debbie? The last time I saw her was over ten years ago. I will keep it confidential if you wish.
My cell phone number is 515-771-4406. Thanks so much for your time.
Or my email is Greatkids@Sysmatrix.net
Thanks again.

You were a wonderful grandfather to Jenifer and great grandfather to Abigail. You were a good friend to all who knew you. You always went out of your way to help when needed. Seeing you at school functions and recitals, and sharing birthday lunches will be remembered. You will be missed. May God Bless you.
